About the Perplexity integration

A customer gets a straight answer by text within minutes of asking, because the question never has to wait for someone to sit down and look it up first. That is the effect of linking Perplexity to Mobile Message through Zapier, letting a text set off the search instead of a person, so nobody has to be at a desk for the reply to go out.

An inbound text can run a search inside Perplexity, checking the web for whatever the customer asked about, or start a chat completion that drafts a full reply based on what was sent in and the conversation so far. Either way the finding is ready for the team to send back as a text, so a customer with a genuine question gets a real answer rather than a holding reply while someone tracks the information down at their own pace, whatever the topic happens to be.

A Zapier account and subscription is required for this integration. Please view Zapier's pricing page for further information.

Perplexity + SMS: common questions

Can a customer's text trigger a Perplexity search automatically?

Yes. Connect Mobile Message to Perplexity through Zapier and an inbound text can run a Perplexity search straight away, checking the web for whatever the customer asked. The result is ready for someone on the team to text back, rather than needing to search manually first.

Can Perplexity write the actual text message that gets sent to a customer?

Perplexity's chat completion action can draft a reply based on details from a trigger such as a form entry, and Mobile Message's Send SMS action can then send that drafted text straight to the customer, cutting out the need to write each reply by hand.

What do I need to send Perplexity's answers out as text messages?

You need a Perplexity account, a Mobile Message account, and a Zapier account to connect the two, with no coding involved. Once linked, you choose a trigger such as an inbound text or a form entry, add a Perplexity search or chat completion step, then finish with a Mobile Message action.
