Illustrative prompt. After connecting, check the source references and any saved result in Piply. This example is not a record of a completed tool call.
Account access and review
Sign-in authorizes the connection to your Piply account under the permissions you approve. Asking about one file does not restrict access to that file. Review the host’s tool controls and check generated content against your materials. Disconnecting does not retract information already sent to the host.
What you need
- A Perplexity account with custom remote connector access. Organization members also need administrators to allow custom connectors.
- A Piply account (free).

For organization use, require each member to authenticate with their own Piply account rather than sharing one person's course access.

Questions
Why use Piply with Perplexity?
Perplexity can combine web research with material stored in your Piply courses and save the practice it creates back into Piply.
Why is + Custom connector missing?
Check your account's connector access and, in an organization, ask an administrator to enable member-created custom connectors. Availability can differ by account.
