Step-by-step setup
No code
Workflow
Start by connecting your Google Docs account via Google Docs Google Drive integrations to trigger the automation when a new document is created or edited.
Configure Perplexity AI to search for specific keywords or prompts you define — like “latest trends in SaaS pricing 2024” — and map the response to a designated section in your doc.
Activate the automation, test it with a sample prompt, and then expand it to trigger on recurring templates or specific folder triggers for scalable use.
Advanced automation ideas
Build conditional workflows that only pull research if a document contains a specific tag like “[needs research]” or “[draft]”. You can also chain this with email notifications — sending the finalized doc to stakeholders once Perplexity AI completes its search. For even deeper workflows, connect it to Slack or Notion to auto-post summaries of research findings alongside the document.
