LinkedIn + Perplexity integration
Connect LinkedIn to Perplexity
ConnectChats brings your LinkedIn chats into Perplexity. Ask Perplexity to catch you up, find any message and draft replies. Nothing gets sent until you approve it.
Free to start. No app to install. Every send needs your OK.
What Perplexity can do with your LinkedIn
ConnectChats gives Perplexity a small set of tools. Perplexity calls them when you ask about your LinkedIn chats, and only for the chats you share.
-
Catch you up
Ask what you missed and Perplexity reads your unread LinkedIn chats, then gives you the short version: who needs an answer, what was decided, what can wait.
get_messages_to_summarize -
Find any message
The address someone sent last month, the price a client agreed to, the link from a group chat. Perplexity searches your LinkedIn history and quotes the message.
search_messages -
Draft replies
Perplexity writes the reply in your tone, in the chat's language, with the context of the whole thread. You read it, edit it, and send it.
draft_reply -
Send with your OK
When you approve a draft, ConnectChats sends it from your own LinkedIn account and confirms delivery. Auto-send only runs in chats where you switch it on.

How to connect LinkedIn to Perplexity
It takes about two minutes. You do it once, and the same account then works in every AI app you add.
-
Add ConnectChats to Perplexity
- In Perplexity, open Settings, then Connectors, and add a custom remote connector.
- Paste https://api.connectchats.com/mcp as the server URL and choose OAuth sign-in.
- Perplexity opens the ConnectChats sign-in page, where you sign in with your passkey.
-
Link your LinkedIn account
- Open https://connectchats.com/app and choose Link a chat app, then LinkedIn.
- Sign in to linkedin.com in your browser, then copy the session cookies ConnectChats asks for, following the guide on screen.
- ConnectChats checks the session and lists your conversations.
- If LinkedIn signs you out, link it again the same way.
-
Pick the chats Perplexity can see
Every chat is listed in your ConnectChats dashboard. Share all of them or only the ones you choose. Perplexity never sees the rest.
-
Ask Perplexity about your LinkedIn
Open a new conversation in Perplexity and ask about your chats. Perplexity calls ConnectChats when it needs your messages.
How LinkedIn and Perplexity work together
ConnectChats links to your LinkedIn messages using your signed in browser session, since LinkedIn offers no other way to share personal messages with another app. You choose which conversations your AI app can see.
-
LinkedIn in ConnectChats
Your LinkedIn inbox is supported: one to one messages, group conversations and InMail you receive. Posts, comments and connection requests are not included, only messages. Each linked chat starts with its last 200 messages, then every new message arrives as it is sent. Sales Navigator and Recruiter inboxes are separate products and are not included.
-
ConnectChats in Perplexity
Perplexity adds custom remote connectors on its paid plans, and ConnectChats works as one. Add it once, sign in with your passkey, and Perplexity can search the chats you share alongside the web. Custom remote connectors in Perplexity need a paid plan. On Enterprise, an admin has to allow members to add them. The same ConnectChats account works in every AI app, so the chats you already linked are available in Perplexity without linking them again. ConnectChats only sees the chats you choose to share, and it asks for your approval before any reply is sent.
Your LinkedIn stays under your control
-
You pick the chats
Perplexity only sees the LinkedIn chats you share. Unshare a chat and it disappears from every AI app at once.
-
Drafts by default
Perplexity prepares replies. You approve each one before it reaches LinkedIn, unless you turn on auto-send for that chat.
-
Stored messages are encrypted
Stored messages are encrypted with a key that only your passkey can unlock. We never train models on your messages.
Questions
Can Perplexity read my LinkedIn messages?
Yes, once you link LinkedIn in ConnectChats and add ConnectChats to Perplexity. Perplexity reads only the chats you share, and only when you ask it something that needs them.
Can Perplexity send LinkedIn messages for me?
Perplexity can draft a reply and send it after you approve it. Messages go out from your own LinkedIn account. You can allow automatic sending for specific chats, and it stays off everywhere else.
Is the LinkedIn to Perplexity integration free?
Yes. The free plan links two chat apps and works in every supported AI app, with no limit on what you ask. No card needed.
Do I need to install anything?
No. You add ConnectChats inside Perplexity and link LinkedIn from your browser. There is no app to download and nothing runs on your computer.
Does it work with other AI apps too?
Yes. The same ConnectChats account works in ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Manus, Muse and any AI app that supports remote MCP servers. Link LinkedIn once and use it everywhere.
Does it help me keep up with recruiter messages?
Yes. Your AI app can list the LinkedIn messages that still need an answer and draft polite replies you approve before they are sent.
Why does LinkedIn need browser cookies?
LinkedIn does not offer a sign-in that lets another app read your messages. Your browser session is how ConnectChats connects as you, and signing out of LinkedIn ends it.
Can I use ConnectChats with Perplexity today?
Yes, on a paid Perplexity plan. Add a custom remote connector under Settings, Connectors, paste https://api.connectchats.com/mcp and sign in with your passkey.
Would Perplexity search my chats along with the web?
Yes. Once connected, it can search the chats you share and combine them with web answers when you ask.
