Perplexity export guide
Sync Perplexity Threads to Notion.
Build a searchable research database. AI Chat Backup parses Perplexity threads, formats visible answer content, and sends the current conversation to your Notion workspace.
Set up your Notion connection
- Install AI Chat Backup from the Chrome Web Store.
- Open the extension popup and click the settings gear (or right-click and go to Options).
- Under the Notion tab, select Authorize Notion.
- Grant permission to let the extension create the "AI Chats" page and databases.
Review source links after export. Perplexity pages can change how citations and source links are rendered. AI Chat Backup exports the content exposed by the page, but you should verify important references in Notion after syncing.
Sync a Perplexity thread
- Open the Perplexity thread on perplexity.ai.
- Wait for the AI response and search references to load completely.
- Open the AI Chat Backup popup or side panel.
- Click Sync to Notion.
- Keep the Perplexity tab open until the sync progress reaches 100%.
What is preserved in Notion
AI Chat Backup converts Perplexity's dynamic layouts into native Notion blocks. The sync includes:
- Thread Title (mapped to Notion page title).
- Platform name (tagged as "Perplexity").
- Original thread URL (mapped as the source link).
- Formatted answers, bold text, code blocks, lists, and tables.
- Visible links and references when they are exposed in the page content.
Troubleshooting Perplexity exports
- Incomplete threads: If a thread is long or still loading, scroll to the bottom of the page before clicking Sync to ensure Chrome has rendered all elements.
- Missing databases: If the sync fails with a database error, go to settings and select Reauthorize Notion to recreate or reconnect the template databases.
- Read the Notion Setup Guide for database schemas and custom workspace permissions.
