Connecting Perplexity to WordPress

How to Connect Perplexity to your WordPress site

Our Perplexity integration offers the ability to generate intelligent, human-readable content and use this content automatically in your WordPress workflows.

Automatically generate content using Perplexity’s Sonar model to create new blog posts, Facebook posts, X posts, and much more. Connect the input to a form and the Dynamic Content Addon and you have a powerful way to let site visitors prompt your AI model without leaving the front end of your site.

If you have the free version of Uncanny Automator, you’ll first need to connect your site with a free Uncanny Automator account, which will give you 250 free credits to use with Perplexity.  If you have Uncanny Automator Pro, simply activate your Pro license key to get unlimited usage of the Perplexity integration.

You’ll need an API key from your Perplexity account to connect your WordPress site.

Please note that you will need a Perplexity Pro or Max subscription to generate Perplexity API keys. Perplexity Pro subscriptions include $5 of monthly credits for API usage.
