Perplexity connector migrated to Perplexity's Agent API
Perplexity is retiring its Sonar Chat Completions API (supported until September 27, 2026) in favor of the new Agent API. The Perplexity connector in Automation Cloud Public Sector now uses the Agent API for every activity and the Completed Asynchronous Chat Job trigger. Existing workflows keep working, and saved Sonar model IDs are mapped to the matching preset automatically. Re-test any workflows that parse the output of these activities, because the output format, citations, or model behavior may differ slightly.
This release also includes the following changes:
- Model now offers presets:
fast,low,medium,high, andxhigh. Ther1-1776model is no longer available, and saved workflows that use it now run on themediumpreset. - New optional fields: Instructions, Maximum steps, and Reasoning effort. Temperature and Top p are available only for the
fastpreset. - Top k, Presence penalty, Frequency penalty, and Search mode are no longer available. A saved Search mode value of
academicorsecin Generate Async Chat Completion now fails the request. - List Async Chat is no longer supported, because the Agent API has no endpoint for listing jobs. Existing workflows that use it fail. Use Get Async Chat Object instead.
For details, refer to the Perplexity activities release notes.
Microsoft Teams: national clouds
Microsoft Teams connections can now target Microsoft national clouds. Use the new Environment field to select US Government L4 or US Government L5, the Public Sector domains, or China, instead of the default Office 365 cloud. Previously, creating a connection for a US Government tenant failed.
For details, see Microsoft Teams authentication.
