Overview

Wrike's Outlook add-in is available to all users, including Collaborators, Contributors or Viewers and those on free accounts. However, as a Collaborators, Contributors or Viewers, you have limited access and can't create tasks. You can request your admin to create tasks, projects, and more for you.

Note

The Outlook add-in works with specific emails. Please check to make sure you have a compatible email before installing the add-in.

Use Wrike for Outlook to interact with Wrike directly from your inbox. With the add-in you can:

  • Turn an email into a Wrike task. When you receive a non-Wrike email, click the Wrike extension to create a task based on that email.
  • Edit existing Wrike tasks. When you receive a Wrike email notification or turn an email into a Wrike task, click the Wrike icon to edit the associated task.

  • Send and receive comments. Add and read comments on Wrike tasks from the add-in.
