Messenger + Perplexity integration
Connect Messenger to Perplexity
ConnectChats brings your Messenger 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 Messenger
ConnectChats gives Perplexity a small set of tools. Perplexity calls them when you ask about your Messenger chats, and only for the chats you share.
-
Catch you up
Ask what you missed and Perplexity reads your unread Messenger chats, then gives you the short version: who needs an answer, what was decided, what can wait.

Find any message
The address someone sent last month, the price a client agreed to, the link from a group chat. Perplexity searches your Messenger history and quotes the message.

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 Messenger account and confirms delivery. Auto-send only runs in chats where you switch it on.

How Messenger and Perplexity work together
ConnectChats links to Messenger when you sign in with your Facebook account through Meta's sign-in page. Your AI app sees the Messenger chats you choose to share.
-
Messenger in ConnectChats
One to one chats and group chats are supported. Messenger encrypts personal chats by default. End-to-end encrypted chats may not all come through, because only your own devices hold their keys. Each linked chat starts with its last 200 messages, then every new message arrives as it is sent. Photos, videos and voice notes show up as short text descriptions, with their captions.

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 Messenger stays under your control
-
You pick the chats
Perplexity only sees the Messenger 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 Messenger, 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.
