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. START SIMPLY. ADD ENTERPRISE CAPABILITIES WHEN YOU NEED THEM. Manifestly is easy to start without giving up the controls growing organizations eventually need. • SOC 2 Type II audited annually • SAML SSO • Role-based access control • Departments and locations • Granular permissions • Full workflow version history • Searchable workflow activity and completion history • API and webhooks • Standard SaaS encryption in transit and at rest 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 QUICK ANSWERS How fast can we get started? Most teams can have their first recurring workflow running in under an hour. There is no required implementation project or setup fee. Do we need IT to deploy Manifestly? No. Teams can start self-service. SAML SSO and additional enterprise controls are available when needed. Is there a free trial? Yes. Manifestly offers a 14-day trial with no credit card required. What does Manifestly cost? Business is $10 per user per month, or $100 per user per year. Enterprise options with additional capabilities such as SSO and onboarding are available. Is Manifestly secure? Manifestly is SOC 2 Type II audited annually and encrypts data in transit and at rest. Is Manifestly an SOP tool? Manifestly can include instructions and documentation inside workflows, but its primary job is recurring execution. An SOP describes how work should be done. Manifestly makes sure the process actually runs, gets assigned, stays on schedule, and leaves a record. Is Manifestly a project management tool? Manifestly is primarily recurring workflow software rather than traditional project management software. It is designed for repeatable processes such as onboarding, close, inspections, reviews, and recurring service delivery. Can AI assistants run Manifestly workflows? Yes. Manifestly's MCP integration allows compatible AI assistants to participate in workflows while Manifestly maintains the process structure, state, ownership, approvals, and history. ![Manifestly Checklists](https://images.g2crowd.com/uploads/product/image/large_detail/large_detail_679cc8dec6cd5ccdf72431e3cb28411e/manifestly-checklists.png "Manifestly Checklists") Manifestly Checklists Discussions Most CommentedMost HelpfulCommon QuestionsNewest Showing **1** discussion ![Pinned by G2 as a common question](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Pinned by G2 as a common question") G2 Pinned by G2 as a common question • over 3 years ago More Options - Share [![linkedin](/assets/social-logos/linkedin-afe65e46604a5bd5105ab9c856116204040b6b3f2b2d42562fc8071ca0c48ca0.svg "linkedin")](https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&summary=What+is+Manifestly+Checklists+used+for%3F&title=What+is+Manifestly+Checklists+used+for%3F&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.g2.com%2Fdiscussions%2Fwhat-is-manifestly-checklists-used-for) [![twitter](/assets/social-logos/twitter-61aaec80434c71387b8f7326e480592eae71c0a65afd051d66fce9b75a9bf417.svg "twitter")](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=What+is+Manifestly+Checklists+used+for%3F&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.g2.com%2Fdiscussions%2Fwhat-is-manifestly-checklists-used-for&via=G2dotcom) [![facebook](/assets/social-logos/facebook-350d0b410d6b10debcf893050e803a8633d53561aa42807b087b8daf9be3668f.svg "facebook")](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.g2.com%2Fdiscussions%2Fwhat-is-manifestly-checklists-used-for) [![gmail](/assets/social-logos/gmail-6db42f21e7c254fae201b112bef0dd15d25223a5cbb32691ce80eab43761eadf.svg "gmail")](https://mail.google.com/mail/?view=cm&fs=1&tf=1&to=&su=What+is+Manifestly+Checklists+used+for%3F&body=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.g2.com%2Fdiscussions%2Fwhat-is-manifestly-checklists-used-for%0aWhat+is+Manifestly+Checklists+used+for%3F) [![mail](/assets/social-logos/mail-d55c53b04bf49872e40cd2443b85a99caa23394e6cf154ae32a9d08377c15d86.svg "mail")](mailto:?subject=What+is+Manifestly+Checklists+used+for%3F&body=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.g2.com%2Fdiscussions%2Fwhat-is-manifestly-checklists-used-for%0aWhat+is+Manifestly+Checklists+used+for%3F) - Copy link - [ ## What is Manifestly Checklists used for? ](/discussions/what-is-manifestly-checklists-used-for) What is Manifestly Checklists used for?
