Your CRM Data Is Already Stale.
Reps waste time searching for context that should already be in the record.
CRM data is always behind
Salesforce shows what happened last quarter. Your prospect announced a product launch, hired a CTO, or closed a funding round yesterday. Static AI can't see it.
“Using our own data from our own Salesforce - that's gonna be a lot more useful to our sales reps”
VP of IT, Fortune 500 Insurance
Connect your model via BYOMGoogle before every call
Reps open browser tabs, search for news, check LinkedIn, scan press releases. That manual research takes 15-20 minutes per call and still misses buried signals.
“They should be focused on the customer more than data entry”
Sales Operations, Retail Media
Secure this with Data MaskingAI says it but can't prove it
When AI says a prospect 'recently expanded into healthcare,' reps need proof. Models without citations generate plausible intelligence that can't be verified before the meeting.
“I don't want to send accounts to a separate system”
CTO, Financial Services
Fix this with Pre-Meeting PreparationReal-Time Web Enrichment, Sourced and Cited
Live Intelligence on Account Records
GPTfy sends your Account name and industry to Perplexity, which searches the live web for news, funding rounds, executive changes, and competitive moves. Every fact includes a source URL. Compare with Grok's X/social intelligence for social-specific signals.
Cited Sources for Every Claim
Unlike models that generate text without sources, Perplexity returns citations for every factual claim. Your team can click through to the original article or filing. GPTfy logs the full response including citations in the AI Response record.
Salesforce Data + Web Data, Combined in One Prompt
CRM Context Meets Web Intelligence
GPTfy sends both your Salesforce record data and a Perplexity web search in a single prompt. Configure this in the Prompt Builder to generate analysis neither data source could produce alone.
Pre-Meeting Account Briefs
Before a sales call, GPTfy queries Perplexity for Account news, then combines it with Opportunity data, Case history, and Contact engagement. Trigger automatically via Salesforce Flow.
Security and Compliance, Even With External Search
PII Masking Before Web Search
GPTfy's Security Layer masks PII before any context reaches Perplexity. Contact names, emails, and phone numbers are replaced with tokens. Web queries use only non-sensitive identifiers like company name and industry.
Named Credential + Full Audit Trail
Your Perplexity API key lives in a Salesforce Named Credential. Every request creates an AI Response record logging the masked prompt, web results, citations, and token usage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Static models like GPT-4o generate responses from training data with a knowledge cutoff. Perplexity searches the live web in real time and returns current information with source citations.

GPTfy's Security Layer masks PII (names, emails, phone numbers, SSNs) using configurable regex patterns before any Salesforce data is included in the Perplexity prompt. The web search query uses only non-sensitive identifiers like company name and industry. Masked data is never sent to Perplexity's API.
