How do I set up and use Manus Agents in Whatsapp Business?

Feature Overview

Manus Agents brings the full power of Manus directly into your business messaging, now available on WhatsApp Business. This is not a lightweight chatbot add-on; it is the same Manus action engine—with full reasoning, tool usage, and multi-step task execution capabilities—now accessible wherever you already communicate with clients and manage your business.

With Manus Agents in WhatsApp Business, you can:

Send voice messages, photos, and documents directly in the chat.
Run complex, multi-step tasks like drafting professional client responses, checking your calendar, or generating content.
Receive structured reports, PDFs, and final deliverables without logging into the web app.

Important Note: A standard personal WhatsApp account cannot be used for this integration. You must have a WhatsApp Business account to connect with the official Manus agent.

Setting up Manus Agents requires no technical knowledge, configuration files, or API tokens. You can connect in seconds using a simple QR-based flow:

Step 1: Open the Integrations tab in your Manus workspace settings on the web app.

Step 3: Scan the generated QR code with your smartphone's camera to initiate the linking process.

How to use Manus Agents in WhatsApp Business

Once connected, you can interact with your agent just like you would with a human project partner.

Setting your communication style

You can customize how your agent responds to you. Simply tell the agent your preference—whether you want responses to be concise, structured, or more conversational—and it will follow that style across your interactions.

Supported inputs

Your Manus agent can process various media formats directly within WhatsApp Business:

Text: Send standard text prompts and instructions.
Voice: Send voice notes. Your agent will automatically transcribe the audio, interpret your intent, and take action (e.g., creating a to-do list from a spoken plan).
Images and Files: Share photos, PDFs, or CSVs. The agent can analyze the content, generate variations, or process the data.

Real-world use cases

Client Communication: When a potential client messages you, send their request to Manus to check your calendar, pull up your pricing, and draft a professional response you can send in seconds.
Project Planning: Send a voice note outlining a new project, and ask Manus to create a structured to-do list and timeline.
Content Creation: Ask Manus to generate marketing copy or analyze campaign performance metrics while you are on the go.
