Support syncing multiple Google / Gmail accounts under one Perplexity profile

:rocket: Feature Request

Please add the ability for a single Perplexity user profile to connect and actively sync multiple Google accounts.

:magnifying_glass_tilted_left: Problem Statement

Many of us juggle several Gmail addresses—corporate, personal, volunteer, and so on. Perplexity currently permits only one Google integration at a time, so we have to:

  • constantly disconnect → re-authenticate with a different account, or

  • Maintain multiple paid subscriptions to keep each inbox/calendar connected.
    This creates friction, breaks conversation context, and undermines one of Perplexity’s biggest strengths—centralizing knowledge across sources.

:light_bulb: Proposed Solution

  1. Allow users to link multiple Google identities in Settings → Integrations.

  2. Provide simple toggles to include/exclude each account in search/context or choose a default.

  3. Clearly label content pulled from each account (e.g., color-coded chips or account avatars).

  4. Optional: per-account permission scopes so security/IT teams can approve only what’s needed.

I want to be able to instruct Perplexity to set up a meeting through my work email and utilize it to help me manage personal work in my own Google Drive.

:pushpin: API Impact

  • Retrieval and search endpoints would need an optional account_id parameter for disambiguation.

  • No change to existing single-account workflows—the first linked account becomes the default unless specified.

:counterclockwise_arrows_button: Alternatives Considered

Workarounds via Make/Pabbly/Zapier can pipe emails into Perplexity, but they:

  • add cost and complexity,

  • can’t leverage Perplexity’s native context window or calendar look-ups,

  • raise security concerns because third parties gain access to email data.

:paperclip: Additional Context

  • Competitor AI assistants (e.g., x.ai, Superhuman with AI) already support multiple-inbox linking—making this a parity feature for power users.

  • This enhancement would unlock a smoother, more secure workflow for anyone who manages multiple roles or organizations—and avoids fragmenting our knowledge base across separate Perplexity logins.
