New: revenue by channel

Which channels bring paying customers?

Signups only tell you half the story. Perplexity can now follow each channel into your billing data, so you see which ones bring customers who pay and stay.

  • Paying customers, MRR today, churn and retention for each source, medium, UTM campaign or individual post
  • Signup-to-paid rate, the early signal for a channel that's only weeks old
  • First touch (where they found you) or last touch (what made them sign up)
  • Decide where next month's marketing time and budget go, from revenue rather than clicks

Needs the Chartsy tracking script on your site and a connected payment provider. Groups under 5 paying customers are flagged as inconclusive, and retention needs about 90 days to mean much.

What Perplexity can and can't see

Perplexity reads numbers and customer IDs when Chartsy is on. Names, emails and write access stay in Chartsy.

  • Read-only

    Perplexity can read your numbers. It can't change Chartsy, your payment provider's data, or your customers.

  • IDs, not names

    Customers are payment-processor IDs; names and emails stay in Chartsy. Perplexity sees only the accounts and sites your login owns, checked on every call.

  • One question per tool call

    Each call uses one ChartsyAI question from your monthly allowance, failed calls included. Broad questions usually take one call.

Troubleshooting

What to do if Perplexity can't answer from Chartsy

Most fixes are a toggle or a sign-in.

Perplexity answers from the web only

Chartsy is off for that thread. Turn it on under Sources on the home page before you ask, and mention Chartsy in the question.

I can't find where to add a custom connector

Open Plugins in the sidebar, or Customize → Connectors if you don't see Plugins yet, then Add custom → Connector → Add MCP connector. Custom connectors need a paid Perplexity plan. On Enterprise, an admin must allow member connectors under Enterprise settings → Connectors.

Sign-in fails or the connector stays disconnected

Check Authentication is OAuth 2.0, Transport is Streamable HTTP and the Client ID and Secret fields are empty, then click the Chartsy card to sign in again. Allow pop-ups for perplexity.ai.

Perplexity says "no connected payment provider yet"

Connect Stripe, Paddle, Polar, Lemon Squeezy, Creem or Freemius in Chartsy and let the first sync finish. The demo data added at signup doesn't count.

Answers stopped working this month

Each tool call uses one ChartsyAI question, failed calls included. When the monthly allowance is used up, calls stop until it resets on the 1st, or until you upgrade your Chartsy plan.

FAQ

Chartsy for Perplexity: frequently asked questions

Short answers before you connect.

How do I add Chartsy to Perplexity?

Open Plugins (or Customize → Connectors), choose Add custom → Connector → Add MCP connector → Remote, name it Chartsy and enter https://mcp.chartsy.app/mcp. Set Authentication to OAuth 2.0 and Transport to Streamable HTTP, click Add, then click the Chartsy card and sign in with your Chartsy login.

Does Perplexity send my numbers to the web?

No. Perplexity reads your numbers from Chartsy and searches the web separately. Your figures aren't published anywhere, and customers appear only as payment-processor IDs.

Does it work in Perplexity Computer?

Connectors are set up on your Perplexity account, and Computer works with your account's connectors. If Chartsy doesn't appear in a Computer task, use it from a regular thread instead.

Is Chartsy for Perplexity free?

Connecting costs nothing extra on the Chartsy side, and it works on any Chartsy plan, including the free trial. Custom connectors need a paid Perplexity plan. Each tool call uses one ChartsyAI question from your Chartsy allowance.

Which payment providers does it work with?

Perplexity reads whatever you have connected to Chartsy: Stripe, Paddle, Polar, Lemon Squeezy, Creem, Freemius or a custom source through the Chartsy API.

Can Perplexity change my data?

No. All 19 Chartsy tools are read-only. Perplexity can't change Chartsy, your payment provider's data or your customers.

How many ChartsyAI questions does Perplexity use?

One per tool call, failed calls included. A benchmark question usually takes one or two calls; a full business review is usually one get_business_snapshot call. Web searches don't count.

How do I disconnect Chartsy from Perplexity?

Remove the Chartsy connector in Plugins or Customize → Connectors. You can also revoke access in Chartsy under Settings → Claude & MCP, which stops it immediately.

Can Perplexity tell me which marketing channels bring paying customers?

Yes. The get_revenue_by_source tool follows the people who signed up from each source, medium, UTM campaign or post into your billing data, and returns how many became paying customers, what they're worth in MRR today, how many churned and the retention rate. You can choose first touch (where they first found you) or last touch (what made them sign up). It needs the Chartsy tracking script on your site and a connected payment provider. Groups with fewer than 5 paying customers are flagged as too small to call.
