This guide explains how to configure a chat completion flow with Perplexity’s AI model.

​
Prerequisites:

To integrate Perplexity with your agent, you’ll need a Perplexity account with API access. You can create an account at Perplexity. Once you have an account, you need to create an API key. You can do this by going to the API keys section of your Perplexity account and clicking on the Create API Key button. This will generate a new API key that you can use to authenticate your requests to the Perplexity API. Once you have your API key, you can add it to your agent by configuring the Perplexity block. Here you can enter your API key and select the Perplexity model you want to use.

​
1. Configuring Perplexity Block

  1. Copy the API key and paste it in the Perplexity block.
  2. Select a model from the available list. For example sonar.
  3. Provide Messages:
    • Create a variable for storing user input messages (e.g., {{user-input}}).
    • Select the Message Type for example ‘Dialogue’.
    • Add the variable where the user input was captured (e.g., {{user-input}}).
    • Set the ‘starts by’ to ‘user’.
    • In the ‘Save response’ section, create a variable for storing the assistant response (e.g., {{perplexity-response}}).
    • Add a text block to append the show response chat (e.g., {{perplexity-response}}).
