Perplexity
Set up a direct SFTP export to Perplexity for out-of-the-box AI visibility for NA retailers.
Overview
Perplexity accepts a fairly standard Product Data feed via SFTP upload. This channel is largely similar to other flat file Product feed standards; Productsup pre-populates the dataflow with mandatory and optional columns.
Perplexity's feed documentation is currently de-centralized and may be evolving. Productsup will continue to refine this documentation as Perplexity's agentic feed model solidifies. In the meantime, if you feel any aspect is unclear or out of date, please reach out to your Productsup contact for support.
Prerequisites in Perplexity
- Sign up for Perplexity and become approved. Upon approval, you will be granted SFTP access.
Steps in Productsup
- Add the Perplexity export.
- Add the 'SFTP/FTP/FTPS Server' destination. Configure the following fields in the destination:
- Protocol: SFTP
- Host: determined by your Perplexity SFTP
- Port: determined by your Perplexity SFTP — defaults to 22 in most cases.
- Username: determined by your Perplexity SFTP
- Password: determined by your Perplexity SFTP
- Configure the Dataflow, connecting all mandatory columns at minimum.
- While API method is supported by Perplexity, they do not guarantee access to all merchants. Productsup currently supports only the SFTP method.
- Productsup supports only .csv file format out of box, not .xml.
