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.
