Perplexity automation with Bizomate

Before the first call with a new trade customer, someone looks the company up. Bizomate asks Perplexity instead, for each one: it searches the web, answers with text or named fields, and lists the pages it used, so anyone can check. It runs on your company's own Perplexity key, and every run's record shows the tokens it used.

What a workflow can do with it

Ask with web search
Ask a question answered from the web, with its sources

Recency keeps to sources from the last day, week, month or year; Sites names up to 20 domains to search or, with a - in front, to leave out. Get back Fields or Text, with the addresses it cited and the search results it used.

How you connect it

Make an API key in your Perplexity account's API settings and paste it into Bizomate under API key; the account needs credit before a key works. Perplexity has no list of models to read, so Bizomate tests the key by asking a one-word question — a real, very small request on your account.

The key is your company's own, so Perplexity bills your account: Bizomate does not pay for or resell AI use, and each run's output shows the tokens used. When a step runs, Bizomate sends Perplexity what that step is given — the instructions and the prompt — under your account, and your account's terms with Perplexity apply to it.

The key is encrypted before it is saved, used only when a step runs or a test calls Perplexity, and never shown again — not to you, your colleagues or Bizomate support. It belongs to one workspace, the Code step cannot read it, and revoking the connection wipes it at once.

In the help centre: Connect Perplexity, Ask Perplexity with web search and Pin a step's output.

Questions about Perplexity

How do I check where an answer came from?

The step gives back the addresses Perplexity cited and the search results it used — each with its title, address and date — beside the answer, so the next step can pass them on and anyone can check them.

Can I keep the search to certain sites?

Yes. Under Sites, name up to 20 domains, separated by commas, to search only those — or put a - in front of a domain to leave it out. Empty searches the whole web.

Can I keep to recent news?

Yes. Recency keeps to sources from the last day, week, month or year; Any time is the default.

Who pays for what Perplexity does?

Your company does, on its own Perplexity account, which needs credit before a key works. Bizomate does not pay for or resell AI use. Testing the connection asks a one-word question, a very small request on your account.
