What the skill teaches
A Perplexity connector skill from Zapier's connectors repository.

Setup is an npm install in the skill folder; the TypeScript source needs Node.js 22.18 or newer. The skill states it is independent and not affiliated with Perplexity, and it is licensed under the Elastic License 2.0.
