Supported triggers and actions for Exa AI integration
Triggers can detect changes in Exa AI and run actions that can create, search or modify data inside Exa AI automatically [3] — exactly how you set them.
- List ContentsRetrieves contents for a list of document IDs.
- Perform a SearchSearches the web with an Exa prompt-engineered query and returns relevant results.
- Search Similar LinksFinds links similar to a given URL and optionally retrieves their contents.
- Make an API CallPerforms an arbitrary authorized API call.
How to integrate Exa AI in automation workflow?
3 simple steps to make your Exa AI connected with other apps in automation workflows on WEXTL. Up to 10 minutes integration set up.
STEP 2
Connect Exa AI
When prompted, authorize access to Exa AI in WEXTL once. Exa AI credentials are encrypted and never shared with WEXTL. Authorization will be reused in any future API calls [3].
WEXTL wants to integrate with your Exa AI account. Approve?
STEP 3
Build a workflow
Build your workflow with Exa AI yourself or with WEXTL® AI Builder. Connect Exa AI to any available integrations [5], or use HTTP node to go beyond them.

How Exa AI connects and integrates with WEXTL
Save and approve your credentials once — WEXTL® stores authorization information encrypted and reuses the authentication whenever Exa AI app is called in workflows. That allows your ai automations to run without your attention, per defined schedule [7]. Explore documentation [6] for a detailed list of fields that Exa AI supports.
The following table illustrates what fields Exa AI integration require during authorization flow inside our workflow builder [4].
Video slide demonstrates how Exa AI is connected in WEXTL builder [4].

Connect Exa AI to popular apps on WEXTL
Enter a name of the other app you want to sync with Exa AI below. Click on selected app to explore integration options with Exa AI. If the app you search for is not available in WEXTL yet, you can use HTTP node [10] instead to integrate it directly.
Example automation with Exa AI integration
Select List Contents action from Exa AI - this will be a starting point in your automation. Whenever event happens in Exa AI, workflow will start [7] from List Contents node.
Search for Make an API Call, connect it as the next step of integration sequence. You can use filters between List Contents and Make an API Call, so only important data pass from List Contents to the next step. WEXTL gives you full control over the process of Exa AI automation. All parts of workflow are visible on the canvas [4].
Exa AI on WEXTL has 4 modules for combining ai automations. Explore Exa AI documentation for more.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about automating Exa AI in your workflows.
Exa AI has no triggers, but it provides 4 actions including "List Contents", "Perform a Search", and "Search Similar Links". Pair them with triggers from other apps to automate Exa AI tasks.
Integration has 4 actions, including "List Contents", "Perform a Search", and "Search Similar Links", and more. Refer to our Exa AI Documentation for detailed inputs and outputs.
No. Most automations are built visually on the canvas by picking triggers, actions, and mapping fields. You can add custom JavaScript with Functions when advanced logic is needed — but our customers do that in rare cases [4].
Yes. Connections are authenticated per account, credentials are encrypted at rest, and you can enforce approvals and team-level access controls on any automation.
The Exa AI integration on WEXTL runs directly on its vendor public API — every field name, authentication method, and rate limit is controlled by Exa AI official API and covered in documentation [3]. WEXTL handles the request signing and pagination for you.
Absolutely. Where Exa AI provides native webhooks, you can use instant triggers to eliminate polling delay. For custom webhooks, WEXTL offers Custom Webhook node, so you can start automation whenever Exa AI or any other service sends event to webhook URL.
WEXTL is an AI-first visual canvas. The platform allows you to describe automation in plain text — and AI will wire nodes for Exa AI inside the workflow builder [4]. You can also use built-in workflow nodes (AI Agent, Human in the Loop, Condition, Aggregate Results) in pair with Exa AI modules to craft complex integration flows with branches, filtering, and conditional logic. There are absolutely no limits of what you can build.
