Create a custom workflow

Transform location intelligence by automating the connection between Perplexity AI and Google Maps through Make—turning AI-powered insights into actionable maps, routes, and location data. Eliminate manual work with automated workflows that enrich your geographical data with intelligent research, all running automatically in the background.

Triggers and actions

Connect Google Maps and Perplexity AI through Make's intuitive integration platform. With Make's visual interface, you can trigger actions in Perplexity AI based on responses from Google Maps, creating sophisticated automated processes that work in the background. When Google Maps generates a response or completes an analysis, it triggers automated actions in Perplexity AI such as creating location markers, generating route plans, or updating geographical data with AI-powered insights. This integration enables you to automatically enrich your location data with intelligent research from Google Maps, eliminating manual data transfers between the two applications.

Step 1

Set up your Google Cloud Platform project

Before you can connect Google Maps to Make, you'll need to create a project in Google Cloud Platform. Log in, click 'Create or select a project', then 'New project', give it a meaningful name, and click 'Create'. This project serves as the foundation that houses all the necessary settings for your Google Maps connection to work with Make.

Step 2

Enable Google Maps APIs and get your access key

Once your Google Cloud project is ready, navigate to 'APIs & Services' and then 'Library' to search for and enable the Google Maps APIs you need. After enabling the APIs, go to 'Credentials', click 'Create Credentials', and select 'API key'. This generates a unique access code that you'll need to copy and save securely, as it's what allows Make to communicate with Google Maps on your behalf.

Step 5

Connect Perplexity AI to Make

With your Perplexity AI API key ready, log in to Make and add a Perplexity AI module to your scenario. Click 'Create a connection' when prompted, and optionally give your connection a name that helps you identify it later. Paste the API key you copied from Perplexity AI into the 'API Key' field and click 'Save'. Once both connections are established, you can start building automated workflows that use both Google Maps and Perplexity AI together.

By integrating Perplexity AI with Google Maps through Make, you can automatically enhance location data with intelligent research and context. For example, when a user searches for a location in Google Maps, Perplexity AI can automatically gather comprehensive information about that place, including reviews, historical context, nearby attractions, and relevant details. This creates a powerful workflow where geographic data meets AI-powered knowledge discovery, enabling you to provide richer, more informative responses to location queries without manual research.

Make enables numerous powerful automations between Perplexity AI and Google Maps. You can automatically research and compile detailed travel guides when planning routes, generate enriched location reports by combining map data with AI research, create intelligent itineraries that include AI-curated information about each destination, or build customer service workflows that provide comprehensive answers about business locations. For instance, you could set up an automation that takes an address from Google Maps, uses Perplexity AI to research the area's demographics and business opportunities, and compiles everything into a report—all without manual intervention.

No coding skills are required. Make provides a visual, drag-and-drop interface that allows you to connect Perplexity AI and Google Maps through pre-built modules. You select the triggers and actions you want, authenticate your accounts, and configure the data flow between the two applications. Make handles all the technical complexity of API connections, data formatting, and error handling behind the scenes. This means you can create sophisticated automations between these platforms in minutes, even if you've never written a line of code.

Manual processes require switching between applications, copying data, conducting separate searches, and compiling information by hand—which can take hours for comprehensive research. With Make's integration, these tasks happen automatically in seconds. For example, instead of manually looking up a location in Google Maps, then separately researching it in Perplexity AI, then combining the results, Make can trigger Perplexity AI research automatically whenever a new location is added to your Google Maps data, instantly delivering enriched information. This automation can save dozens of hours per week for businesses that regularly work with location-based data and research.
