How this automation works

Get a web-grounded Perplexity answer delivered as a rich Notifications alert. When you enter a saved Location, the Applet asks Perplexity the question you configure and sends the conversational answer and the top source link to Notifications. Ideal for quick neighborhood summaries, transit tips, or local recommendations when you arrive at a place. Note: Install the IFTTT app on the device(s) where you want to receive notifications.
