Ask Perplexity Sonar to compare workflow tools using selected domains and return citations.
Setup and use
Connect Perplexity with a Sonar-capable API key. Edit the system and user messages and domain filter in Ask Perplexity Sonar. The example asks about n8n and Make, limits search to their domains and uses a one-month recency filter. In n8n, configure Header Auth with your Perplexity bearer key and edit Set Params.
Behavior
One manual run returns the first answer and citation URLs. Search results and generated text vary over time; review cited sources before relying on the answer. An API failure stops the run. The source’s system prompt asks for an n8n-favoring perspective; edit it for a different perspective.
Inspiration & credits
Changes to the source
- Use the formal Perplexity completion Action in Open Flow to retain the search domain and recency filters and citation output. Trim whitespace around domain names and construct the n8n request as JSON values.
