- 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.
- Add an email as a comment. If an email thread gets updated, add text from a new email in the thread as a comment to the existing task.
- View Tasks and Change Status. Change a task’s status from the add-on.
- Send and receive comments. Add and read comments on Wrike tasks from the add-on.
