Description

The Manus AI component lets you orchestrate Manus Tasks and Files directly from your flows, wrapping the Manus v1 REST API endpoints.

Supported Models: The component supports the following Manus agent profiles: manus-1.6, manus-1.6-lite, manus-1.6-max, manus-1.5, manus-1.5-lite, and speed. These can be selected when creating tasks via the Upsert Object action.

Credentials

The component uses a single Manus API key.

To create one:

  1. Sign in to the Manus web app.
  2. Navigate to Settings → Intagration → Build with Manus API.
  3. Click Create New, give it a descriptive name, and confirm.
  4. Copy the generated key, store it somewhere secure
  • API Key - (string, required): The Manus API key obtained in the steps above.

Actions

Delete Object By ID

Remove a Manus task or file by ID.

Configuration Fields

  • Object Type - (dropdown, required): The type of object to delete.

Input Metadata

  • Task ID - (string, required) when Object Type is Task.
  • File ID - (string, required) when Object Type is File.

Output Metadata

  • id (string) – Manus object ID.
  • object (string) – Either task or file.
  • deleted (boolean) – true when the delete succeeded.

Lookup Object By ID

Fetch a single Manus task or file.

Configuration Fields

  • Object Type - (dropdown, required): The type of object to lookup.

Input Metadata

  • Task ID - (string, required) when Object Type is Task.
  • File ID - (string, required) when Object Type is File.

Output Metadata

  • Task bodies include id, status, created_at, and keep all other Manus properties.
  • File bodies include id, filename, status, created_at, plus any extra fields returned by the API.

Lookup Objects (plural)

Paginate Manus tasks or files and emit either pages or single records.

Configuration Fields

  • Object Type - (dropdown, required): The type of object to lookup.
  • Emit Behavior (dropdown, required): Specifies how the resulting objects will be emitted, either as Emit page or Emit individually.

Input Metadata

  • Tasks
    • Limit - (number, 1-100, default 100, optional): Maximum records per call.
    • Query- (string, optional): Free-text search forwarded to Manus.
    • Status - (enum: pending, running, completed, failed; optional): Status of the tasks.
    • Order - (enum: asc, desc; optional): Sort order used for pagination.
  • Files
    • No request-body fields; the component only needs the configuration-level object type.

Output Metadata

For Emit page mode: An object with the key results, which contains an array as its value.

For Emit individually mode: Each object fills the entire message.

Make Raw Request

Send a custom Manus API call when the prepared actions do not cover your use case.

Configuration Fields

  • Don’t throw error on 404 Response (optional, boolean): When checked, treat 404 responses as successful messages rather than flow errors.

Input Metadata

  • Method - (string, required): HTTP verb to use in the request, one of GET, POST, PUT, DELETE.
  • Url - (string, required): Path of the resource relative to the base URL. Here comes a part of the path that goes after https://api.manus.ai/v1.

Output Metadata

  • Status Code - (number, required): HTTP status code of the response.
  • HTTP headers - (object, required): HTTP headers of the response.
  • Response Body - (object, optional): HTTP response body.

Upsert Object

Create or update a Manus task or create a Manus file. Updates rely on Manus identifiers you provide.

Configuration Fields

  • Operation (dropdown, required): Create or Update.
  • Object Type (dropdown, required): Task or File. Combined with Operation, this decides which schema the action serves.

Input Metadata

Fields are dynamically generated based on the selected Object Type and Operation. For the full metadata schema, please, check Upsert Object Schema.

Output Metadata

  • Task results – task_id, task_title, task_url.
  • File results – id, object, filename, status, upload_expires_at, created_at.

Limitations

  • Creating a file requires a reachable File URL; the Upsert Object action downloads it (supporting Maester URLs) and then uploads it to the Manus-supplied signed URL.
