List Smartsheet overdue tasks by owner
Manus compares each due date with today, skips rows marked complete and groups the rest by owner, with how many days each one is late.
Ask Smartsheet what is late and get the status update written
Connect Smartsheet and ask “Which tasks are overdue this week?” Manus lists late and at-risk rows by owner, updates rows from your meeting notes, and reads reports, dashboards and row discussions to write the weekly status update. Ask it to list changes first, and it waits for your OK. You need a Business, Enterprise or Advanced Work Management plan.
First, connect Smartsheet in Manus
Manus found 2 late rows and 2 at-risk rows in Q4 launch plan, then wrote this week’s update.
Smartsheet AI for overdue tasks and at-risk rows
Manus checks the due date, % complete and status of each row in the sheets you name, then lists what’s late and what’s at risk by owner. Nothing in your sheets changes unless you ask.
See what’s about to slip in the next two weeks
Manus looks at upcoming due dates next to % complete and status, and flags the rows that look at risk, so you can follow up before they’re late.
Find every sheet for a project across workspaces
With the Smartsheet integration, Manus searches sheets, reports and dashboards in every workspace you can open and tells you where each one lives.
Update Smartsheet from meeting notes with a Smartsheet AI agent
Paste notes from a meeting, and Manus works out which rows they affect. It can update cells, add rows, create a sheet or leave a comment, and shows you the plan first when you ask.
Turn meeting notes into row updates
Paste your notes or attach the file. Manus matches each point to a row and lists the cells it would change. Ask it to wait, and it updates the rows only after you say OK.
Build a new sheet from a project plan
One of the Smartsheet AI tools Manus can use creates a sheet in a workspace or folder you can edit. Give it a plan, and it sets up the columns and adds a row for each task.
Leave a comment on a row
Manus can start a discussion on a row or reply to one that’s already there, for example to ask an owner for a new due date.
Smartsheet report summary for reports, dashboards and discussions
Manus reads the views your team already keeps in Smartsheet: reports that pull rows from many sheets, project dashboards and the comments on each row. You get a short summary of what needs attention.

Ask for an email to your sponsors or a short post for the team channel. With Gmail or Outlook connected, you check the email draft before it’s saved or sent.
Connect the Smartsheet MCP server to Manus
The Smartsheet MCP connector is built into Manus, so there’s no server to set up. Check your plan, connect once with your Smartsheet account, and Manus works with what that account can open.
Check your Smartsheet plan
AI tools that use the Smartsheet MCP server need a Business, Enterprise or Advanced Work Management plan.

Questions about Smartsheet AI and MCP
How do I connect Smartsheet to Manus?
Open Connectors in Manus, choose Smartsheet, select Connect and sign in with your Smartsheet account to approve access. After that, mention Smartsheet in any task, with a sheet or report name if you have one. Your Smartsheet plan needs to be Business, Enterprise or Advanced Work Management.
Which Smartsheet plans work with Manus?
Business, Enterprise and Advanced Work Management. Smartsheet says AI tools that use its MCP server need one of these plans. Pro plans include Smart Assist inside Smartsheet, but not the MCP server.
Will Manus change my sheets without asking?
Manus only changes the rows, sheets and comments you ask it to. There’s no separate approval step, so if you want to check first, ask it to list the changes and wait for your OK, as the examples on this page do. Smartsheet notes that row updates can’t be undone automatically, so it’s worth a look before you say yes.
What can Manus see in my Smartsheet account?
Only what your own Smartsheet account can open, such as sheets, reports, dashboards and workspaces shared with you. Manus can change rows only where your account can edit, and it can’t open anything your account can’t.
Can Manus read Smartsheet reports and dashboards?
Yes. It reads the rows in a report, including reports that pull from many sheets, and the widgets on a dashboard. Then it sums them up for you or uses the numbers in a status update.
Can Manus create a new Smartsheet sheet?
Yes. Give it a plan or a list, and it creates a sheet with the columns and rows you describe, in a workspace or folder where you can edit. Each sheet in a folder needs its own name, so pick one that isn’t already used there.
Can Manus write a Smartsheet status report every week?
Yes. Put the time in your request, for example “Every Monday at 8:00 AM, read my Smartsheet launch sheets and write the status update.” Manus saves it as a scheduled task that you can find in Automations.
Can Manus send the status update to my team?
Yes, with the apps you’ve connected. Manus can write an email in Gmail or Outlook, where you check the draft and choose to save or send it. It can also post a short update to Slack or add the update as a comment on a row in Smartsheet.
What is Smartsheet Smart Assist, and how does Manus fit in?
Smart Assist is Smartsheet’s own AI assistant, and you open it inside Smartsheet. Manus connects through the Smartsheet MCP server and works with your sheets together with your files and other connected apps in the same task, for example to turn the weekly update into an email.
Does Manus work with Smartsheet automations?
Yes, you can use both. Smartsheet automations run inside your sheet, for example to send a reminder when a due date comes up. A Manus scheduled task suits work that needs reading and writing, such as reading three sheets every Monday and writing the status update.
Does Manus use the Smartsheet MCP server?
Yes. The Smartsheet connector in Manus is an MCP connector, so you don’t need to set up a Smartsheet MCP server yourself. Manus uses the Smartsheet MCP tools for sheets, rows, workspaces, discussions, reports and dashboards, which are the Smartsheet AI capabilities shown on this page.
Do I need Smartsheet Claude or Smartsheet ChatGPT set up first?
No. Smartsheet integrations such as a Smartsheet Claude connector, a Smartsheet Claude integration, a Smartsheet ChatGPT connector or a Smartsheet ChatGPT integration add Smartsheet to those apps, and so do guides for Smartsheet MCP Claude or Smartsheet MCP ChatGPT setups. Manus has its own Smartsheet connector, so you don’t need any of them here.
Can I disconnect Smartsheet later?
Yes. Open Connectors in Manus, choose Smartsheet and select Disconnect. Manus can no longer reach your Smartsheet account after that.
