SMBcrm now includes native Manus triggers and actions inside the Workflows builder. You can create, manage, and automate Manus AI tasks directly in SMBcrm without relying on third-party automation tools.
Manus is a task-based AI system where each task begins with a prompt, processes structured AI logic, returns a response, and can accept follow-up prompts. With this integration, you can build repeatable AI-powered processes for content generation, follow-ups, summarization, internal SOPs, and more.
Available Triggers
These triggers fire when events happen on the Manus side:
- New Task Created — Starts a workflow when a Manus task is created
- Task Stopped — Starts a workflow when a Manus task completes or stops
Note: Triggers only activate for tasks created via workflow actions, not tasks created directly in the Manus app.
Available Actions
These actions let your workflows interact with Manus:
- Create Task — Spin up a new Manus task from a workflow
- Get Task — Retrieve task details and output
- Update Task — Modify an existing task
- Fetch Tasks — Pull a list of tasks
- Delete Task — Remove a task
- Continue a Task with a Prompt — Send a follow-up prompt to keep the AI working
How to Connect Manus
From the Workflow Builder
- Go to Automation > Workflows
- Add a Manus trigger or action to your workflow
- Click Connect Now
- Authenticate with your Manus API key
From Integrations Settings
- Go to Settings > Integrations
- Select Manus
- Click Connect
- Enter your API key
To get your API key, visit your Manus API Settings, click Create New, and copy the generated key into SMBcrm.
Best Practices
Store the Task ID returned by the Create Task action in a custom field. You can then reference that ID in follow-up actions like Get Task, Continue Task, Update Task, or Delete Task. This approach makes it straightforward to build multi-step AI workflows that pick up where they left off.
Important Notes
- Triggers poll every 5 minutes
- Manus actions and triggers count as premium workflow steps
- Manus AI usage is billed separately from your SMBcrm subscription
- Task limits depend on your Manus subscription tier
- Full AI task output is available in the Manus dashboard; use the Get Task action to pull results back into SMBcrm
Common Troubleshooting
If a Manus action fails, check these first:
- Is the integration still connected?
- Is the Task ID valid and the task still active?
- Did you include a prompt input where required?
- Is your Manus API authorization still active?
