How to connect AI: Perplexity and Slack
Create a New Scenario to Connect AI: Perplexity and Slack
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a AI: Perplexity, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, AI: Perplexity or Slack will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find AI: Perplexity or Slack, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the AI: Perplexity Node
Select the AI: Perplexity node from the app selection panel on the right.
