Enable Wrike's Slack Integration
Once one person completes the steps below, Wrike’s Slack integration becomes partially enabled for all users who are part of that Slack account. However, each user needs to follow the below steps in order for the integration to become fully enabled for them.
Wrike Notifications in Slack
You can set up notifications so that you receive Wrike-related notifications in Slack. Notifications are set up on a Folder by Folder (or Project by Project) basis and are sent to the Slack channel or direct message conversation you choose. You can receive instant notifications when
- A task or subtask is created.
- A task’s or subtask’s status is updated.
- A task’s or subtask’s due date changes.
- New attachments (or a new version of an existing attachment) are added.
- Comments are added. (Proofing comments do not trigger Slack notifications).
Please note, if you enable notifications, then you receive notifications for all of the tasks and subtasks in that Folder or Project. However, you won’t get notifications about tasks in Subfolders or Subprojects.
Enable Notifications in Slack
Follow the steps below for each Folder/Project where you want to enable Slack notifications.
- Open a Folder or Project info panel (click the Folder/Project icon in the List View panel’s upper right-hand corner). 1
- Click the Slack icon in the info panel’s upper right-hand corner. 2
- Select “Choose channel”. 3
- Choose the Slack channel where notifications should be posted. 4
- Click “Authorize”. 5
- Uncheck the boxes next to notifications you don’t want to receive and click “Apply”. (optional)

More Slash Commands
You must enable the Slack integration in order to be able to use the below commands.
Generate Task Previews
Share important task details by inserting a quick preview into a Slack chat or channel. The task preview shows the task's: status, title, assignees, due date, and parent Folders/Projects.
Please note, you can only generate previews for tasks that are shared with you. However, if someone uses the task preview command, then anyone with access to that chat or channel sees the information generated by the preview.
How to: In a chat or channel, enter the command "/wrikepreview" (without quotes) followed by the task’s permalink.
Automatic Task Previews
You can invite the Wrike app to a channel. Once the Wrike app is invited to a channel, you can post Wrike URLs in that channel (including threads) and a preview with important task details is automatically generated (no need to use the /wrikepreview command for each task).
Please note, you can only generate previews for tasks that are shared with you. However, if someone uses the task preview command, then anyone with access to that discussion or channel sees the information generated by the preview.
How to: In a channel, enter the command "/invite" (without quotes) @wrikebot.
