Automated Perplexity Research Archiving
Every Friday, WebRun opens Perplexity, walks the threads you and your team ran during the week, captures each question with its answer and the sources cited, files them as documents in a dated Google Drive research folder, writes an index page, and sends you a WhatsApp list of what was filed.
How do I save and organise my Perplexity research threads?
WebRun opens Perplexity every Friday and collects the research threads you and your team ran that week, capturing each question, its answer and every source cited. It files them as documents in a dated Google Drive folder with an index, then sends the index to your WhatsApp, so research stops disappearing into chat history.
- Research is findable in Drive instead of buried in a thread list
- Every answer keeps its sources so claims stay checkable
- The team stops repeating research someone already did last month

How is each run configured?
Secure by default
Connect once, stays signed in
WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it delete my threads after filing them?
No. WebRun only reads Perplexity and copies what it finds into Drive. Nothing is deleted, renamed, or archived inside Perplexity itself.
Are the sources kept?
Yes. Every source link cited in a thread is listed at the end of its document, so a claim can be checked months later without rerunning the research.
Who can see the filed research?
Only the people who already have access to your Drive folder. WebRun files into the folder you nominate and never changes its sharing settings.
