What Manus Does in Workflows
Manus is a task-based AI system. Each Manus task starts with a prompt. Manus processes the prompt, applies AI logic, and returns an output. A task can also be continued with another prompt. This allows a workflow to run multi-step AI logic inside the same task lifecycle. Kyrios supports two-way Manus automation:
Kyrios → Manus: Use workflow actions to create, get, update, continue, fetch, or delete Manus tasks.
Manus → Kyrios: Use workflow triggers to start workflows when Manus task events happen.
This removes the need for external middleware for supported Manus workflow automation.
Key Benefits of Manus Actions and Triggers
Manus actions and triggers help teams operationalize AI inside Kyrios workflows.
Key benefits include:
Native AI automation: Create and manage Manus tasks directly inside Kyrios workflows.
Instant task-based triggers: Start workflows when supported Manus task events occur.
Multi-step AI logic: Continue an existing Manus task with additional prompts.
Workflow visibility: Track workflow runs from Execution Logs.
Premium workflow support: Manus actions and triggers are premium workflow steps.
Scalable AI operations: Build repeatable automations for research, content, prospecting, and task handling.
Prerequisites
Before using Manus in workflows, confirm the following:
You have access to Automation → Workflows in the account.
Premium workflow actions are enabled if required by your agency settings.
You have an active Manus account or subscription.
You have access to generate a Manus API key.
Manus is connected in Kyrios before running Manus workflow steps.
Connect Manus from Workflow Builder
Use this method when building a workflow and adding a Manus trigger or action.
Go to Automation → Workflows.
Open an existing workflow or create a new workflow.
Add a Manus trigger or Manus action.
If Manus is not connected, click Connect Now.
Sign in to Manus and approve access.
Save the trigger or action.
Connect Manus from Integrations
Use this method when you want to connect Manus before building workflows.
Go to Settings.
Select Integrations.
Find Manus.
Click Connect.
Complete the connection prompts.
Get Your Manus API Key
Use a Manus API key when Kyrios prompts you for Manus authentication.
Open your Manus dashboard.
Go to API Settings.
Click Create New.
Copy the generated API key.
Paste the key into the Manus API key field in Kyrios.
Available Manus Triggers
Manus triggers start Kyrios workflows when supported Manus task events occur.
Trigger | Description |
New Task Created | Starts a workflow when a new Manus task is created. |
Task Stopped | Starts a workflow when a Manus task is stopped or completed. |
Manus triggers fire instantly when the supported event occurs. Triggers only activate for Manus tasks created through Kyrios workflows. Tasks created directly inside Manus do not trigger Kyrios workflows.
Available Manus Actions
Manus actions let Kyrios workflows control Manus task execution.
Action | Description |
Create Task | Creates a new task in Manus. |
Get Task | Retrieves details for a specific Manus task. |
Update Task | Updates task metadata or parameters. |
Fetch Tasks | Retrieves a list of Manus tasks. |
Delete Task | Deletes a Manus task. |
Continue Task With Prompt | Adds a follow-up prompt to an existing Manus task. |
Actions that reference an existing Manus task require the correct Task ID.
Best Practice: Store the Manus Task ID
Every Create Task action returns a unique Manus Task ID. Store the Task ID in a custom contact field or opportunity field so later workflow steps can reference the correct Manus task. Store the Task ID before using:
Get Task
Continue Task With Prompt
Update Task
Delete Task
Without a stored Task ID, later workflow steps may fail or reference the wrong task.
How to Use Manus in a Workflow
Go to Automation → Workflows.
Click Create Workflow or open an existing workflow.
Select a workflow trigger.
Add a Manus action, such as Create Task.
Add your Manus prompt.
Use merge fields when needed, such as:
{{contact.first_name}}{{contact.email}}{{opportunity.name}}{{custom_values}}
Store the returned Manus Task ID in a custom field.
Add a Wait step if Manus needs processing time.
Add Get Task to retrieve the Manus output.
Add follow-up actions, conditions, notes, notifications, or task creation steps.
Test the workflow.
Publish the workflow.
Kyrios workflows support automation triggers, actions, execution tracking, and workflow testing as part of the Workflows & Automations feature set.

Common Issues and Fixes
Manus is asking me to connect again
Reconnect Manus from Settings → Integrations → Manus. If the issue continues, confirm that the API key is valid and that the Manus account still has access.
Get Task is not returning the expected task
Confirm the workflow stores the correct Manus Task ID after the Create Task action.
If the Task ID is missing or overwritten, downstream actions may retrieve the wrong task or fail.
A Manus trigger did not start the workflow
Confirm the Manus task was created through a Kyrios workflow. Tasks created directly inside Manus do not trigger Kyrios workflows.
A Manus action failed
Check Automation → Workflows → Execution Logs.
Common causes include:
Disconnected Manus integration
Invalid Task ID
Missing prompt input
Task already stopped
API authorization failure
Manus usage limits
