How to connect AI: Perplexity and Softr
Create a New Scenario to Connect AI: Perplexity and Softr
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 Softr will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find AI: Perplexity or Softr, 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.

AI: Perplexity
Configure the AI: Perplexity
Click on the AI: Perplexity node to configure it. You can modify the AI: Perplexity URL and choose between DEV and PROD versions. You can also copy it for use in further automations.
Add the Softr Node
Next, click the plus (+) icon on the AI: Perplexity node, select Softr from the list of available apps, and choose the action you need from the list of nodes within Softr.

Authenticate Softr
Now, click the Softr node and select the connection option. This can be an OAuth2 connection or an API key, which you can obtain in your Softr settings. Authentication allows you to use Softr through Latenode.
Configure the AI: Perplexity and Softr Nodes
Next, configure the nodes by filling in the required parameters according to your logic. Fields marked with a red asterisk (*) are mandatory.
Set Up the AI: Perplexity and Softr Integration
Use various Latenode nodes to transform data and enhance your integration:
- Branching: Create multiple branches within the scenario to handle complex logic.
- Merging: Combine different node branches into one, passing data through it.
- Plug n Play Nodes: Use nodes that don’t require account credentials.
- Ask AI: Use the GPT-powered option to add AI capabilities to any node.
- Wait: Set waiting times, either for intervals or until specific dates.
- Sub-scenarios (Nodules): Create sub-scenarios that are encapsulated in a single node.
- Iteration: Process arrays of data when needed.
- Code: Write custom code or ask our AI assistant to do it for you.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring AI: Perplexity, Softr, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the AI: Perplexity and Softr integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between AI: Perplexity and Softr (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect AI: Perplexity and Softr
Perplexity + Softr + Google Sheets: When new content is generated in Perplexity, it's automatically added to a Softr website and a record of the content and its usage is added to a Google Sheet for tracking.
Softr + Perplexity + Airtable: When new users are created on a Softr website, Perplexity AI generates summaries of their profile information, which are then stored as new records in Airtable.
