Connected to Autoadify, it can research a topic in your niche, write posts that cite what they claim, make an image, and schedule them to LinkedIn, X and Threads from the same thread. ## Quick Answer **Add Autoadify to Perplexity as a custom connector (Settings → Connectors, paste `https://mcp.autoadify.com/mcp`, OAuth). Then ask Perplexity to research a topic in your niche, pick the finding your audience cares about, write a post per network with the source named, and save it as a draft in Autoadify. You review the drafts and schedule. Needs Perplexity Pro or above and Autoadify Pro.** ## Perplexity + Autoadify at a Glance | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Best for | Thought-leadership and news-reaction posts that need to be accurate and sourced | | Perplexity plan | Perplexity Pro, Max and Enterprise, on the web and desktop apps. | | Autoadify plan | Pro ($29/mo) and above, for MCP access | | What Perplexity does | Researches with sources, writes per-network copy, makes images, saves drafts or schedules | | Networks | Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, X, Threads, YouTube, Bluesky and Reddit | | Setup | About 2 minutes, OAuth, no API key | ## Why Perplexity for Social Posts The posts that build authority on LinkedIn and X are the ones with a specific, checkable claim: a number from a new report, what a regulation actually says, what changed in a platform's rules this week. Most AI-written posts avoid specifics because the model can't be sure of them. Perplexity can: it searches first and shows you where each claim came from. That makes it the right assistant for posts where being wrong is worse than being late. ## 1\. Connect Autoadify (2 minutes) 1. In Perplexity, open Settings → Connectors and add a custom connector. 2. Name it Autoadify, paste https://mcp.autoadify.com/mcp, and pick Streamable HTTP with OAuth. 3. Sign in to Autoadify and approve the permissions. Approve **Read**, **Generate** and **Publish**. Leave Publish off if you want Perplexity to prepare drafts it can't schedule. Full walkthrough: [Autoadify in Perplexity](/mcp/perplexity). ## 2\. Research (prompts 1–2) > **Prompt 1.** What changed in \[your industry\] in the last 7 days that a \[your audience\] would need to act on? Give me 5 items, each with the source and date. Skip anything older than a week or only reported by one outlet. > **Prompt 2.** For the two most useful items, what's the one practical consequence for a small \[business type\]? Quote the exact line from the source that supports it. Prompt 2 is the one that matters. A post that says "X happened" is news; a post that says "X happened, so do Y by Friday" gets saved and shared. ## 3\. Write and illustrate (prompts 3–4) > **Prompt 3.** Check my connected channels in Autoadify and their limits. Write one post per item: a LinkedIn version that explains the consequence and names the source, an X version under 280 characters, and a Threads version that asks what readers are doing about it. No hashtags on LinkedIn. > **Prompt 4.** Make one clean, text-free image per item in a 1:1 ratio with Autoadify. A simple editorial illustration, not a stock photo of people at laptops. Perplexity uses `list_channels` for each network's rules and `generate_image` for the visuals, which land in your Autoadify media library. ## 4\. Save and schedule (prompt 5) > **Prompt 5.** Save all of these as drafts in Autoadify with the images attached. Suggest times: LinkedIn Tuesday and Thursday 8am, X and Threads at noon on the same days. Read the drafts on the Posts page in Autoadify, check each claim against the source Perplexity gave you, then schedule. Or come back to the thread and say "schedule the LinkedIn ones as suggested". **Try it this week:** connect Perplexity, run prompts 1–5 on your niche, and review the drafts before anything posts. [Start with Autoadify](https://app.autoadify.com/?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=feature&utm_content=perplexity-research-to-social-media-posts). ## Honest Limits - **Sources can still be wrong.** Perplexity shows where a claim came from; it doesn't guarantee the source is right. Open the link for anything you'd be embarrassed to retract. - **Links in posts are a choice.** LinkedIn and X tend to show posts with outbound links to fewer people. Name the source in the text and put the link in the first comment if reach matters more. - **Custom connectors are on paid Perplexity plans only.** The free tier can't add Autoadify. - **One thread, one session.** Perplexity runs the workflow when you ask; for a recurring weekly version, see the [Hermes Agent roundup](/blog/hermes-agent-weekly-social-media-roundup). ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Can Perplexity post to LinkedIn directly? Not on its own. With Autoadify connected, it can schedule or publish to any account you've connected in Autoadify, including LinkedIn. ### Which Perplexity plan do I need? Pro, Max or Enterprise. Custom connectors aren't on the free plan, and Enterprise admins can turn them off for a workspace. ### Do I need an API key? No. Perplexity signs in to Autoadify with OAuth when you add the connector. ### Will it post without asking me? Only if you ask it to publish. Ask for drafts and nothing goes live until you schedule it. ### Can it make videos too? Yes, with `generate_video`. Videos take a few minutes and use more credits than images. ### Which Autoadify plan? Pro ($29/mo) and above include the MCP server. See [pricing](/pricing). ## The Bottom Line Use Perplexity for the posts where accuracy is the point. It researches with sources, writes each network's version, and leaves drafts in Autoadify for you to check and schedule. Setup for every assistant is on the [MCP server page](/mcp).
