Create a custom workflow

Transform real-time search insights into intelligent, AI-powered responses by connecting Perplexity AI and Azure OpenAI through Make's no-code automation platform. Build powerful workflows that automatically trigger on new search results and process them with advanced language models, turning raw research data into refined, actionable intelligence without writing a single line of code.

Triggers and actions

Connect Azure OpenAI and Perplexity AI through Make's intuitive integration platform to harness AI-driven automation. Set up Azure OpenAI as a trigger to initiate workflows when new search results are generated, automatically sending this data to Perplexity AI which acts as the action endpoint to process and refine the information using its advanced language models. This integration enables you to automatically process search results from Azure OpenAI and refine them with Perplexity AI's generative capabilities, creating intelligent workflows that combine real-time research triggers with powerful AI-generated responses as actions. The visual workflow builder enables you to design these trigger-action integrations without programming knowledge, while powerful API connections ensure reliable data flow from Azure OpenAI triggers to Perplexity AI actions.
