Manifestly is workflow management software for recurring operations.
It helps growing teams turn documented processes and SOPs into workflows that actually run — with clear ownership, scheduling, deadlines, reminders, approvals, data collection, and a complete history of every run.
Your process already exists. Manifestly makes sure it happens.
Manifestly is fast to deploy, simple for teams to adopt, and powerful enough to run serious operational workflows. Most teams can have their first workflow running in under an hour, without a lengthy implementation project or weeks of training.
As your organization grows, you can add enterprise capabilities when you need them — including SAML SSO, roles and permissions, departments, audit history, APIs, and webhooks — without starting with a heavyweight enterprise compliance platform.
Manifestly also gives AI assistants a governed way to participate in your processes. Its native MCP server lets Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and other MCP-compatible assistants start workflows, complete steps, update process data, and move work forward while Manifestly remains the system of record.
Trusted by teams at Compass, Foxconn, Keller Williams, Ford, Sheraton, and thousands of operations, IT, HR, finance, and services teams.
HOW MANIFESTLY WORKS
• Build a reusable workflow for a process your team runs repeatedly.
• Schedule it to recur automatically, or trigger it from Slack, an API call, email, Salesforce, or another system.
• Assign each step to the right person, role, department, or location.
• Set deadlines, dependencies, reminders, and approvals.
• Capture form data, files, comments, and required evidence as work happens.
• Use conditional logic to adapt the workflow based on earlier answers.
• See what is complete, late, blocked, or waiting for approval.
• Keep a searchable history of every run.
Each time the process happens, Manifestly creates a new run with its own people, deadlines, data, approvals, and activity history.
WHERE MANIFESTLY DOES ITS BEST WORK
Manifestly is designed for recurring processes that need to happen correctly every time.
Common examples include:
• Employee onboarding and offboarding
• Customer onboarding
• Month-end close and recurring finance routines
• IT and DevOps runbooks
• Access and compliance reviews
• Inspections and safety checks
• Recurring client service delivery
• Property and facility operations
• Manufacturing changeovers and quality procedures
• Multi-location operational routines
WHY TEAMS CHOOSE MANIFESTLY
• Fast to deploy — most teams can have their first workflow running in under an hour.
• Built for growing teams — get the structure and accountability you need without turning workflow management into a major implementation project.
• Closes the execution gap — move SOPs out of static documents and into workflows people actually run.
• Clear ownership — every step can have an owner, role, deadline, and escalation path.
• Automatic follow-up — reminders and due dates help keep recurring work moving without constant chasing.
• Approvals built in — route reviews and sign-offs inside the workflow.
• Conditional logic — show, hide, or route steps based on information collected during the run.
• Audit-ready history — maintain a searchable record of what happened, who did it, and when.
• Role-based assignments — assign work by role so workflows stay correct as your team changes.
• API and webhooks — connect recurring operations to the rest of your systems.

AI THAT WORKS INSIDE THE PROCESS
AI can participate in Manifestly workflows alongside your team.
With Manifestly's native MCP server, compatible AI assistants can:
• Start workflow runs
• Complete steps
• Read and update process data
• Advance work through the workflow
• Operate alongside human owners and reviewers
The workflow still provides the structure around that work:
Owner → Action → Review → Approval → Record
That means AI automation does not disappear into a separate chat or black box. Manifestly keeps the process state, ownership, approvals, and history in one place.
RUNS WHERE YOUR TEAM ALREADY WORKS
• Slack — start, complete, and discuss workflows from Slack
• Microsoft Teams — receive notifications and interact with recurring work
• Salesforce — trigger workflows from records and connect process activity
• Notion — embed workflows alongside existing documentation
• Zapier — connect Manifestly to thousands of apps
• Public API and webhooks — build custom integrations and triggers
