Connect SMS to Manus

• Catch you up

  Ask what you missed and Manus reads your unread SMS chats, then gives you the short version: who needs an answer, what was decided, what can wait.

  get_messages_to_summarize

• Find any message

  The address someone sent last month, the price a client agreed to, the link from a group chat. Manus searches your SMS history and quotes the message.

  search_messages

• Draft replies

  Manus writes the reply in your tone, in the chat's language, with the context of the whole thread. You read it, edit it, and send it.

  draft_reply

• Send with your OK

  When you approve a draft, ConnectChats sends it from your own SMS account and confirms delivery. Auto-send only runs in chats where you switch it on.

   Ask Manus about your SMS

   Open a new conversation in Manus and ask about your chats. Manus calls ConnectChats when it needs your messages.

• SMS in ConnectChats

  SMS and MMS are supported on both phones, and RCS chats on Android. The phone, or the Mac on iPhone, has to stay on and online, because it is the device that actually sends and receives the texts. When a chat is linked, it starts with its last 200 messages, then everything new. Texts are sent from your own number, after you approve them.

• ConnectChats in Manus

  Manus can add your own MCP servers next to its built-in integrations. Once ConnectChats is added, Manus can pull messages into a task, for example to collect every supplier quote from a group chat into a table. Manus checks that it can reach the server and lists the ConnectChats tools before you use them. Long tasks can call ConnectChats many times. Tool calls are not limited on the ConnectChats free plan. Manus can draft replies as part of a task. Each one waits for your approval in ConnectChats unless the chat has auto-send on.

• You pick the chats

  Manus only sees the SMS chats you share. Unshare a chat and it disappears from every AI app at once.

• Drafts by default

  Manus prepares replies. You approve each one before it reaches SMS, unless you turn on auto-send for that chat.

• Stored messages are encrypted

  Stored messages are encrypted with a key that only your passkey can unlock. We never train models on your messages.
