What you can automate

What can the Wrike Make integration do for you?

The Wrike Make integration links your Wrike account to Make so tasks, folders and time records move without copy and paste. You build a scenario, the automation itself, out of modules: each module is one brick, like a trigger that watches Wrike or an action that creates a task.

Requests turn into tasks on their own. A form, an email parser or a support tool sits at the start of the scenario, and Create a Task drops each new request into Wrike. Nobody retypes the request, and nothing waits in an inbox.

Other tools hear about task changes. Watch Tasks picks up tasks that were created or modified, and the next module forwards them to a chat app or a reporting sheet. For a change that needs a reaction right away, Watch Events is the instant option.

Time tracked elsewhere lands in Wrike. When hours are recorded in another tool, Find Tasks locates the matching task and Create a Timelog writes the entry against it, so project reports stay complete.

What the app does not cover out of the box: the 12 modules focus on tasks, folders and timelogs. Anything else in the Wrike API goes through Make an API Call. The Make documentation for Wrike also warns that its own content is AI-generated and may contain mistakes, so check anything critical in Wrike itself. The same app often has an n8n node too; the n8n vs Make comparison helps you pick, the Make review covers the platform as a whole, and Make troubleshooting helps when a run fails.

Connect

How do you connect Wrike to Make?

  1. 01

    Prepare your Wrike API client

    You need an active Wrike account and an API client created in the Wrike Developer portal. In the App Console, open your application, enter the callback URI https://www.integromat.com/oauth/cb/wrike2 if asked, then copy the Client ID and the Client secret.

  2. 02

    Add a Wrike module in Make

    Log in to Make, add any Wrike module to your scenario and click Create a connection. A connection is your Wrike account linked to Make once; every Wrike module in your scenarios then reuses it. The Connection name field is optional.

  3. 03

    Enter your credentials

    Paste the credentials you copied from Wrike, or follow the instructions on screen, and confirm. Make can now read your Wrike account, so the next module fields show real options from your workspace instead of empty boxes.

First scenario

Your first scenario: turn incoming requests into Wrike tasks

GoalWhen a new request arrives in another app, Make creates a matching task in Wrike.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    Open the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the big +. Pick the app where requests come in, a form tool for example, and choose its trigger module.

  2. 02

    Add Create a Task

    Click the + on the right of that first module, search for Wrike and pick Create a Task. Click Create a connection if Wrike is not linked yet.

  3. 03

    Fill the task from the request

    Once the connection exists, Make lists what it can read in Wrike, so you choose from a list instead of typing IDs. Map the request details from the first module into the task fields.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once, then send one test request. Each module shows the bundles it received, a bundle being one item passed along. Open Wrike and check that the task looks right.

  5. 05

    Schedule it and switch it on

    Set the schedule on the first module; a new scenario runs every 15 minutes by default. Then switch the scenario on, and new requests start becoming Wrike tasks without you.

Triggers

Which Wrike triggers can start a scenario?

2 modules start a scenario when something happens in Wrike. A scheduled trigger is checked by Make on the scenario's schedule; an instant one is called by Wrike as soon as it happens.

Wrike1Watch Events

Watch Events

Instant trigger

In MakeTriggers immediately when a new event is fired.

Watch Events starts your scenario the moment Wrike reports a new event, so the follow-up runs without waiting for the next scheduled check. It is the only instant trigger among the Wrike modules.

How it fires
instant: Wrike calls Make through a webhook as soon as it happens, which is why the module carries the lightning badge.
When to use it
when something in Wrike needs a reaction straight away, such as pinging a teammate in a chat tool.
Watch out
adding it asks for Create a webhook before Create a connection; do the two steps in that order.
Wrike2Watch Tasks

Watch Tasks

Scheduled trigger

In MakeTriggers when a task is created or modified.

Watch Tasks feeds your scenario the Wrike tasks that were created or modified, one bundle per task. That gives you a steady stream of task changes to copy, report on or pass to another tool.

How it fires
scheduled: Make checks Wrike on the scenario's schedule, every 15 minutes by default, and the module shows the clock badge. The Free plan cannot go below 15 minutes; paid plans go down to 1 minute.
When to use it
when a short delay is fine, like keeping a reporting sheet in step with Wrike.
Watch out
every returned task is a bundle, and each module after it spends one operation per bundle, the unit Make counts on your plan.
Modules

What can Make do in Wrike?

Wrike gives you 10 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

Wrike1

Create a Folder

Action

In MakeCreates new folder.

Create a Folder gives a new piece of work its own home in Wrike before any task lands there. The folder exists as soon as the module runs, ready for the next steps.

When to use it
a deal is signed in your CRM and the new client needs a dedicated folder.
Watch out
make sure the trigger fires once per client, or you will stack duplicate folders.
Wrike2

Create a Task

Action

In MakeCreates new task.

Create a Task writes a new task into Wrike from data that came in earlier in the scenario. Requests stop living in inboxes and show up where your team already plans its work.

When to use it
a form, an email or a support ticket should become a task without anyone retyping it.
Watch out
test with Run once on a single request before switching the scenario on.
Wrike3

Create a Timelog

Action

In MakeCreate timelog record for task.

Create a Timelog adds a time record to a Wrike task, so hours spent show up in your project reports. It works on one task at a time, which means you need that task first.

When to use it
time is tracked in another tool and has to land on the matching Wrike task.
Watch out
put Find Tasks before it when your source does not know the Wrike task.
Wrike4

Delete a Folder

Action

In MakeDeletes a folder by its ID.

Delete a Folder removes a Wrike folder you point to by its ID. Useful for tidying up structures that another step of your process has made obsolete.

When to use it
a project is cancelled upstream and its placeholder folder should not linger in Wrike.
Watch out
a wrong ID points the module at the wrong folder, so run the scenario once against a test folder before letting it touch real ones.
Wrike5

Delete a Task

Action

In MakeDeletes a task by ID.

Delete a Task removes one Wrike task, identified by its ID. Paired with a search, it clears out tasks that should never have been created.

When to use it
a request is withdrawn in the source app, and the task created for it must go too.
Watch out
a search placed before it can return several tasks, and each one gets deleted; check the bundles with Run once first.
Wrike6

Make an API Call

Action

In MakePerforms an arbitrary authorized API call.

Make an API Call reaches any endpoint of the Wrike API with the connection you already set up. It is the way out when none of the 11 other modules does what you need.

When to use it
you need something from Wrike that the listed modules skip, beyond tasks, folders and timelogs.
Watch out
you write the request yourself, so keep the Wrike API reference open while you build it.
Wrike7

Modify a Task

Action

In MakeUpdates a task.

Modify a Task updates a Wrike task that already exists, so the task keeps pace with what happens in your other tools. No duplicate, just the same task brought up to date.

When to use it
a customer replies in your helpdesk and the related Wrike task should reflect it.
Watch out
if Watch Tasks starts the same scenario, each update counts as a modification and can set it off again.
Wrike8

Find Tasks

Search

In MakeSearches among all tasks in the current account.

Find Tasks searches across all the tasks in your Wrike account and hands back whatever matches. This is how a scenario figures out which task an outside event is about.

When to use it
you know something about a task but not its ID, and a later module needs the ID.
Watch out
it can return zero, one or many tasks; plan for each case before the next module.
Wrike9

Get Task(s)

Search

In MakeReturns information about specific task(s).

Get Task(s) returns the details of specific Wrike tasks you already point to. Handy when an earlier module gave you tasks and you want their full information in the scenario.

When to use it
choose it over Find Tasks when you know exactly which tasks you want, rather than searching the whole account.
Watch out
several tasks mean several bundles, and every later module runs once for each.
Wrike10

List Tasks from a Folder

Search

In MakeRetrieves a list of tasks from a specified folder.

List Tasks from a Folder brings back the tasks stored in one Wrike folder, one bundle each. You get a clean way to work through a single project instead of the whole account.

When to use it
a project closes and every task in its folder has to be copied into an archive sheet.
Watch out
a busy folder means many bundles, and each module after it spends one operation per task.

FAQ

Wrike and Make: frequent questions

01Is the Wrike Make integration free?
Yes, Wrike is a standard app in Make, so it works on the Free plan. That plan gives you 2 active scenarios, a minimum of 15 minutes between two scheduled runs, 5 minutes per execution, files up to 5 MB and 512 MB of data transfer. Paid plans (Core, Pro, Teams and Enterprise) remove the cap on active scenarios, allow a 1 minute interval and runs of up to 40 minutes. Usage is counted in operations each month, one per module per bundle. You still need your own Wrike subscription.
02What do you need to connect Wrike to Make?
Two things: an active Wrike account and an API client created in the Wrike Developer portal. In the App Console, open that application, add the Make callback URI if Wrike asks for it, and copy the Client ID and the Client secret. Then, in Make, add a Wrike module, click Create a connection, name it if you like and enter those credentials. Every Wrike module in your scenarios reuses that one connection afterwards, so the setup happens only once.
03Does the Wrike trigger in Make fire in real time?
It depends on which trigger you pick. Watch Events is instant: Wrike calls Make through a webhook as soon as a new event happens, and the scenario starts right then. Watch Tasks is scheduled: Make checks Wrike for created or modified tasks on the scenario's schedule, every 15 minutes by default. On the Free plan that interval cannot go under 15 minutes, while paid plans allow 1 minute. Pick Watch Events for urgent follow-ups and Watch Tasks for syncing and reports.
04What if a Wrike module you need is missing in Make?
Use Make an API Call. It calls any endpoint of the Wrike API with the connection you already have, so the 11 listed modules are not a hard limit. You write the request yourself, with the Wrike API reference at hand. Keep in mind that the Make documentation for Wrike says its content is AI-generated and may contain mistakes, so confirm important behavior directly in Wrike or with Wrike support before relying on it in a live scenario.
05Should you use Make or n8n for Wrike?
It depends on where your other automations already live. In Make, Wrike comes with 12 modules, 2 of them triggers, plus Make an API Call for anything they leave out, and it runs on the Free plan. The same app often has an n8n node as well, so check what that node offers for your case before choosing. The sensible pick is the tool your team already uses, since connections and habits carry over. A side by side comparison of both platforms sits in the page body above.
