FAQ

Questions about Get Async Result.

What does the Get Async Result action do in Perplexity?

Polls an async Perplexity request by ID and returns its status plus, once complete, the final response with citations. Standard pattern is to loop this every 10 to 30 seconds.

What inputs does Get Async Result require?

Required: Request ID. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if Perplexity returns an error?

The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.

Does Get Async Result support batch operations?

Yes. Run Get Async Result inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Perplexity's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
