Connect Enrollio automations with Manus to create, manage, and automate AI-powered tasks directly from your CRM. This integration lets you trigger automations based on Manus task activity and perform task operations — create, update, fetch, delete, or continue tasks — right inside Enrollio.

What is Manus in Automations?

Manus is a task-based AI system. 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, Enrollio can both send instructions to Manus and react to task lifecycle events.

Available Triggers (Manus → Enrollio)

Trigger Description
New Task Created Fires when a new task is created in Manus
Task Stopped Fires when a Manus task is stopped or completed

Note: Triggers fire only when a task is created through an automation action. They won't fire when a task is created directly from the Manus app.
