Manus AI Integration for Workflow Automation

The Manus integration allows you to connect AI-powered task automation directly to your workflows. This enables you to create, manage, update, and continue AI-driven tasks automatically based on CRM activity such as form submissions, opportunity stage changes, or other workflow triggers.

With this integration, workflows can initiate AI tasks, retrieve outputs, and respond to task lifecycle events. This makes it possible to build structured, multi-step automation that combines CRM data with AI-generated results, reducing manual effort and improving operational efficiency.

What Is Manus in Workflows?

Manus is a task-based AI system. Each task begins with an initial prompt, processes structured AI logic, returns an output or response, and can be continued with additional prompts.

When integrated with workflows, your system can both send instructions to Manus and react to task events such as creation or completion. This enables automated AI-powered processes that operate directly within your CRM environment.

Available Triggers

The integration provides triggers that allow workflows to respond to AI task events.

New Task Created

Fires when a new task is created through a workflow action.

Task Stopped

Fires when a task is stopped or completed.

These triggers activate only for tasks created through workflow actions. Tasks created directly inside the Manus application will not trigger workflows.

Available Actions

Workflows can perform the following task operations:

Create Task

Creates a new AI task using a defined prompt.

Get Task

Retrieves details and current status of a task.

Update Task

Modifies task metadata or parameters.

Fetch Tasks

Retrieves a list of tasks.

Delete Task

Removes an existing task.

Continue Task With Prompt

Adds a follow-up prompt to an active task.

These actions allow full lifecycle control of AI tasks directly inside your automation.
