Perplexity for social media: add a marketing department as a custom connector

Perplexity Pro lets you add custom connectors. Add Rebbel and draft, approve and publish posts from a thread; nothing publishes until you approve it.

Cover: Perplexity for social media: add a marketing department as a custom connector

Perplexity is where a lot of people already go to research what to say. With Rebbel added as a custom connector, the same thread can reach your brand's guide, draft the posts and publish them once you approve. We set it up ourselves, on a Perplexity Pro account, before writing this.

What a custom connector is

Perplexity ships with a list of connectors it chose. On Perplexity Pro you can also add your own, by pasting a server address and signing in to that service. You add Rebbel yourself this way, as a custom connector, and you can remove it whenever you like.

Perplexity asks you to acknowledge the risk before it adds a custom connector. It's worth reading, and it's worth reading Rebbel's privacy policy too before you sign in.

What Rebbel adds to Perplexity

Rebbel is a marketing department rather than a caption writer: a brand guide built from your website, a strategy from your goals, campaigns drafted in your brand's voice, and the social accounts you connect on rebbel.io. Type @Rebbel in a thread and Perplexity can call Rebbel's tools: draft posts, approve them and publish to your channels.

The rule that matters most doesn't change with the assistant you ask from: nothing publishes and no money is spent until you approve it, and that's checked on Rebbel's server, not by a setting you might forget.

What to expect

On September 29, 2026 we added Rebbel to a Perplexity Pro account on the web, signed in and approved, and asked for our Rebbel brands. Perplexity listed them. When we asked it to draft a post, Perplexity asked us to reply yes first; after we did, Rebbel drafted the post and left it waiting for review. Approve it and Rebbel publishes it to the channels you've connected.

Custom connectors are an option on Perplexity Pro, where we added Rebbel. The setup page carries the date we last went through the steps.

Who it's for

  • Owners on Perplexity Pro who want their social media handled a thread away.
  • Anyone who wants to approve every post before it goes out.

Set it up

  1. Add Rebbel as a custom connector in Perplexity, then open its card and connect.
  2. Sign in to Rebbel and approve access.
  3. Type @Rebbel in a thread and ask for this week's posts.

Good to know

  • Rebbel is a custom connector you add yourself.
  • We tested on Perplexity Pro on the web, where Custom connectors are an option.
  • Nothing is posted until you approve it.

Common questions

How do I add Rebbel to Perplexity?

You add it yourself as a custom connector on Perplexity Pro, then sign in to Rebbel to approve access.

Can Rebbel post from Perplexity without my approval?

No. Drafts wait for your review; Rebbel's publish and schedule tools refuse anything that hasn't been approved first, whichever assistant you ask from.

Do I need a paid Perplexity plan?

We added Rebbel on Perplexity Pro, where the Custom connector option is. Rebbel itself is free to start.
