What actions can I run in Perplexity?

12 actions are available, including "Get Async Sonar Request", "Get Computer Usage Analytics", and "List Async Sonar Requests", and more. Run them from any trigger in your automation stack — map fields once and they execute automatically.

Do I need to write code to automate this?

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 it is never required.

Is the integration secure?

Yes. Connections are authenticated per account, credentials are encrypted at rest, and you can enforce approvals and team-level access controls on any automation.

When to use Perplexity

Common scenarios where Perplexity automation saves time and reduces manual work.

Use Perplexity's "Watch Models" trigger to react the instant an event occurs and push data into connected tools.
Run "Get Computer Usage Analytics" in Perplexity from any upstream event — map fields once and let the automation handle the rest.
Include "Get Async Sonar Request" from Perplexity in larger multi-tool workflows to move data end-to-end without hand-offs.

Use in workflow automation

Start from Perplexity’s Watch Sonar Request trigger and the run begins the moment there’s something new — no cron job to babysit, no one remembering to check.

Add Create Async Sonar Request as the next step, then branch, filter or hand off to the rest of your stack. The whole path stays on one canvas your team can read.

This integration brings 14 ready-made steps for AI work, and every run records what went in and what came back.
