Apollo launches connector for Perplexity Computer

Apollo.io announced a connector for Perplexity Computer for Growing Businesses on June 3, 2026, timed with Perplexity's Main Street AI Summit in Washington, D.C. The connector brings Apollo's sales intelligence and workflow tools into Perplexity's Workflows for Growing Businesses offering. Users connect their tools once and then run prospecting, enrichment, research, outreach and follow-up through natural language. Apollo says the connector requires a Perplexity Pro plan or higher.

The details

• The press release cites access to more than 230 million contacts, while the Apollo site header lists 240 million contacts and 30 million companies.
• Target users named include startup founders and operators, early go-to-market teams, sales and marketing teams, consultants and agencies.
• Apollo users need a Perplexity Pro plan or higher to use the connector.
• No separate connector pricing is listed, and further details are at apollo.io/product/mcp.
• The release quotes Dmitry Shevelenko, chief business officer of Perplexity, alongside Apollo CRO Adam Carr.

Context

The connector follows Apollo's April 29, 2026 beta app in ChatGPT, which also runs on its MCP server, and the May 27 hire of Phil Moon as chief financial officer. The release says the partnership follows Apollo's AI Assistant launch and other integrations for AI-driven prospecting. Later in 2026 Apollo appointed Mark Sieglock as chief product officer in August, was named a flagship data partner for Salesforce's Hunter outbound agent in September, and launched its Intelligence Layer at the end of September. Several other sales data vendors released connectors for third-party AI assistants over the same months, including ZoomInfo's Claude connector on June 8.
