## How it works

To enable the outbound automation between UiPath and Perplexity, the activities establish an authenticated connection using the UiPath Connector for Perplexity. Before you build your first project, complete the steps in the [Authentication](https://docs.uipath.com/integration-service/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/uipath-perplexity-perplexity-authentication) guide from the connector documentation.
