Turn project work into automated, agent-driven delivery

CommunicationProductivityProjectsAnalyticsAutomation

Wrike is a flexible project management and collaboration platform used by teams to plan, track, and deliver work. Tasks, folders, projects, comments, and timelogs are all accessible via the Wrike API. Connect Wrike to Actionist and your agents can create projects and tasks when deals close or campaigns are approved, route incoming tasks to the right team, log billable time after meetings, escalate overdue items with comments, and deliver cross-team delivery reports on a schedule — without anyone opening the Wrike dashboard.

New client project scaffolded at deal close

When a deal is marked Closed Won in HubSpot, the Sales Agent creates a client project folder in Wrike, populates it with the standard kickoff task set, notifies the #delivery Slack channel, and books the kickoff call on Google Calendar — all before the account manager finishes the handoff email.

  • Marketing
    20 min / week
    Manual campaign project creation

    A marketing manager manually creates a Wrike project for each approved campaign, adds tasks, assigns owners, and sets due dates — a 20-minute setup per campaign that often happens after the brief meeting, not before.

    Marketing Agent
    0 min
    Agent creates campaign projects at approval

    When a campaign is approved, the agent creates the Wrike project folder, adds the standard task set from brief to launch, and attaches the brief as a comment — the team has structure before the first meeting.

  • Customer Support
    20 min / week
    Manual escalation task creation

    Support leads manually create Wrike tasks for escalated tickets, copy ticket details from Zendesk, decide on assignment based on gut feel about capacity, and post the task link back in Slack — 10 minutes per escalation.

    Customer Support Agent
    0 min
    Agent creates and routes escalation tasks within about a minute

    When a support escalation is flagged in Slack, the agent creates a structured Wrike task, attaches ticket details as a comment, checks support lead capacity, and assigns the task to the right person.

  • Human Resources
    15 min / week
    Manual onboarding project setup

    HR manually creates a Wrike project for each new hire, adds the onboarding tasks from a checklist template, sets due dates relative to the start date, and emails the manager the link — 40 minutes per hire.

    Human Resources Agent
    0 min
    Agent creates the full onboarding project before day one

    When a new hire is confirmed, the agent creates an onboarding project in Wrike with 30/60/90-day milestone tasks, books the check-in on the calendar, and sends the project link to the manager.

  • Finance
    30 min / week
    Manual time entry after client meetings

    Team members manually open Wrike after each client meeting, find the right task, log the meeting duration, and then update the billing spreadsheet — often forgotten or done in bulk at the end of the week with inaccurate times.

    Finance Agent
    0 min
    Agent logs billable time after every client meeting

    When a client meeting ends on Google Calendar, the agent creates a Wrike time entry on the right project task and appends the hours to the invoicing spreadsheet — no human timelog input required.

  • Operations
    60 min / week
    Manual weekly project status report

    An operations analyst opens Wrike every Friday, clicks through each active project to note completed and open tasks, copies the information into a summary doc, and posts it to Slack — 60 minutes of reporting work.

    Operations Agent
    0 min
    Agent delivers cross-team delivery reports every Friday

    The Operations Agent reads all tasks completed and open across every active project each Friday and posts a structured delivery summary to Slack — no one builds a report manually.

  • Legal
    20 min / week
    Manual contract renewal tracking

    Legal staff periodically review a spreadsheet of contract end dates, manually create Wrike tasks for approaching renewals, and rely on calendar reminders — renewals are sometimes missed when the spreadsheet falls out of date.

FAQs

Questions about Wrike + Actionist

How does Actionist connect to Wrike?
Go to the Apps tab, find Wrike, and click Connect. Actionist supports OAuth — it opens a Wrike authorisation window where you sign in and grant access to your workspace. Actionist then runs a read-only test call to confirm the connection before any actions run. If your organisation uses Wrike with single sign-on, use the same SSO credentials in the OAuth flow.
What can Actionist's agents actually do inside Wrike?
Actionist's Wrike actions cover the core project management objects: tasks (create, read, update, delete), folders and projects (create, read, update), comments (create and read), and time entries. Triggers fire when a new task is created or a new folder appears in your workspace — both check for new items within about a minute of them being added.
Can I connect Wrike to other apps in the same workflow?
Yes. Wrike is most useful when combined with the apps where work originates or where reporting lands. Common combinations: create Wrike tasks when deals move in HubSpot; post Wrike task updates to a Slack channel; log billable time entries when a calendar event ends; sync Wrike project status into a Google Sheets dashboard. Any of Actionist's connected apps can send or receive data alongside Wrike in the same scheduled agent task.
What Wrike permissions does the agent need?
Actionist agents connect to Wrike at the workspace level using the permissions of the authorising user. The agent can read and write tasks, folders, projects, comments, and time logs in any space that account has access to. It cannot access folders or projects that the connecting user does not have permission to view in Wrike itself — Wrike's own permission model is respected.
What are the most common things agents do with Wrike?
The most common patterns are: (1) intake routing — creating tasks in the right folder whenever a form, email, or CRM event fires; (2) status reporting — reading open tasks and pushing a digest to Slack or Google Sheets on a schedule; (3) time tracking — creating time entries automatically when a meeting or billable event completes; (4) project scaffolding — creating a standard folder and task set whenever a new client or initiative is added; (5) cross-app sync — keeping Wrike task status in step with records in HubSpot or Notion.
How do I make sure new tasks land in the right Wrike project?
Wrike tasks can be created inside any folder or project. When you use Actionist's Create Task action, you specify the parent folder or project ID. If you want every incoming task to land in a specific project, set that project's ID as a fixed parameter in the agent's task-creation step. The agent will route every new task to that project without any additional logic.
How quickly does the New Task trigger fire, and does it also fire on task updates?
The New Task trigger checks for tasks created in your Wrike account within about a minute of them appearing. It fires once per new task — not on updates. If you need to react to a task status change rather than creation, use a scheduled agent task that reads open tasks at an interval and compares them against a last-known state stored in Google Sheets or Notion.
Can agents log time against Wrike tasks automatically?
Time entries in Wrike are called timelogs. Actionist's Create Time Entry action lets the agent log hours against any task, with a duration, date, and optional comment. This is useful for automatically recording time when a calendar meeting finishes, when a support ticket closes, or when a billable phase milestone is reached — without anyone manually opening the Wrike timelog panel.
