Create a custom workflow

Transform search engine data into powerful insights automatically by connecting SerpApi with Perplexity AI. Capture real-time SERP rankings and features through SerpApi, then let Perplexity AI's advanced natural language processing analyze, summarize, and contextualize your data—delivering actionable intelligence without manual intervention.

Triggers and actions

Perplexity AI functions as a trigger that captures search engine results data, including rankings and SERP features, which automatically initiates your workflow. When Perplexity AI detects new search data based on your configured parameters, it triggers the automation and passes this information forward. SerpApi then functions as an action that receives the search data from Perplexity AI and processes it through advanced natural language processing capabilities to perform deep analysis, summarization, and contextual understanding. This trigger-action integration enables automated workflows where Perplexity AI's search intelligence feeds into SerpApi's analytical capabilities, transforming raw search data into actionable insights without manual intervention.

Step 1

Get your API key from your application settings

Sign into your application account (Perplexity AI or SerpApi) and navigate to the Settings section, usually found in the upper right corner. Look for the API or API Keys section where you can generate a new key by clicking a button like Create Key or Generate Key. This unique code acts as a secure password that allows Make to connect with your application.

Step 2

Copy and safely store your API key

Once your API key appears on screen, copy it immediately and save it in a secure location like a password manager. Treat this key like a password since it provides access to your application. You'll need this key in the next steps to complete the connection in Make, and most applications only display the full key once for security reasons.
