Manus Triggers and Actions in Workflows

Modified on Thu, 19 Feb at 1:51 AM
What’s Improved?
We’ve added native Manus triggers and actions to Workflows, enabling you to create, manage, and automate Manus tasks directly inside the platform- without relying on third-party automation tools.
This integration allows you to trigger workflows based on Manus task activity and perform task operations like creating, updating, continuing, fetching, or deleting tasks - all from within the platform.
Manus is a task-based AI system where each task:
• Starts with an initial prompt
• Processes structured AI logic
• Returns a response or output
• Can be continued with additional prompts 
With this integration, platform can both:
Send instructions to Manus
React to Manus task lifecycle events
Key Enhancements
Triggers (Manus → Platform)
These triggers initiate workflows when activity happens in Manus:
New Task Created
 – Fires when a new task is created in Manus
Task Stopped
 – Fires when a Manus task is stopped or completed
Important Notes:
Triggers fire only when a task is created via a workflow action
Tasks created directly inside the Manus app will not trigger workflow
Actions (Platform→ Manus)
Manage Manus tasks directly inside workflows:
Create Task
 – Create a new task in Manus
Get Task
 – Retrieve details of a specific task
Update Task
 – Modify task metadata or parameters
Fetch Tasks
 – Retrieve a list of tasks
Delete Task
 – Remove a task
Continue a Task with a Prompt
 – Add a follow-up prompt to an existing task
