Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Manifestly

Ask your AI which checklist runs are still open, start a new run of a workflow, or assign a step to a colleague in Manifestly Checklists. It can read and edit workflows and their steps, save answers on run steps, complete or skip steps, and read the comments on them. Recurring processes get followed up without clicking through each run.

Try asking

“Which onboarding runs are still open?”
The AI lists runs filtered by workflow and status, and can open each one for its title, due date and progress.
“Start a new Employee Onboarding run for Maria, due Friday.”
It finds the workflow and creates a run with a title, assigned users and a due time.
“Assign the 'Order laptop' step in that run to Jonas.”
It looks Jonas up in the user list, finds the run step and assigns it to him.

What your AI can do

Runs

Create, start, update and close runs, list open and finished runs, and read their custom field values.

Questions

What can the AI do in Manifestly?

The AI can read workflows, workflow steps, runs, run steps, run fields, step comments, departments and users. It can create and update workflows and steps, comment on workflows, create, start, update and close runs, and assign, complete, skip, reopen and fill in run steps.

Does the AI see my Manifestly credentials?

No. Your Manifestly API key is encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save it, it is not shown again, not even to you. The AI only sees the results of the tools it calls.

Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?

Yes. You choose which tools are switched on, so you can start read-only. Closing a run ends it, and completing a step can notify assignees and followers. Both can require your approval before they run. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT go to Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced and turn on Developer mode, then add your HeyMyApps link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.

What does it cost?

HeyMyApps has a free plan with no credit card required. Paid plans bill per completed task. You also need your own Manifestly account.

Who can create a Manifestly API key?

A master admin in your Manifestly account creates API keys under Account Settings › Integrations. If you are not a master admin, ask one to create a key for you, then paste it into HeyMyApps.
