AI Agents - New Actions and Updates

Available on Business and higher plans
AI Addendum: Must be signed by account owner

AI Agents now include new actions, configuration improvements, and additional updates to help teams automate more workflows with greater precision and control.

What’s new?

• New Action: Location Change - Agents can now move tasks to a new folder or add tasks to an additional folder based on content, status, or prompt logic. Two modes are available: Move to location and Add to location. Location chips in prompts help ensure agents select only from allowed destinations.

  

• New Action: Start and Due Date Change - Agents can now read and update start dates and due dates based on workflow conditions. This allows them to set dates dynamically using task context, such as calculating milestone timelines from a project start date or setting a task’s start date to today when it moves to “In Progress.”

  

• New Custom Field Type: Checkboxes - Agents can now read and update checkbox custom fields. This is useful for judgment-based states such as “Reconciliation Complete,” “Triaged,” “Assets Received,” or “NDA Signed.”

  

• Action Work Items Filtering - Each action now includes its own filter picker, aligned with Wrike’s standard filters. Actions can filter work items by type, status, assignee, custom fields, importance, name, and more. This allows different actions within the same agent to target different segments of work items. Filters are applied before the LLM runs, so excluded items do not consume credits.

  

• Action Naming - You can now assign names to individual actions in multi-action agents. Activity logs will display labels such as “Set Priority,” “Route to Team,” or “Post Summary” instead of generic labels like “Action 1,” “Action 2,” or “Action 3.” This makes debugging and monitoring easier for more complex agents.

  

• Expanded Context Awareness - Agents can now access more context beyond the item they were triggered on. They can read custom field values from parent items, view sibling sub-items under the same parent, and look up items in other folders within the same space. This supports use cases such as inheriting project-level priority, checking for duplicate sub-tasks, comparing overdue work, or scanning another folder before creating a new item.
   
• API-Based Triggering - Agents now trigger when items are created or updated through the Wrike API, not just through UI-based changes. This means updates made through Wrike Integrate, Zapier, or custom integrations can now automatically activate agents.
   
• Comment Bar Agent Discovery - A new icon in the comment editor toolbar makes it easier to find and appoint agents directly from a work item’s comment area. If an agent is already appointed, users can also start a conversation with it directly in the thread.
   
• Formula Field Reading - Agents can now read formula and calculated custom field values during reasoning. This enables them to use derived metrics such as risk scores, rolled-up progress, or mirrored field values in their decisions. Formula fields remain read-only, but they also provide a workaround for unsupported field types by exposing their values through a formula.
   
• Sub-item Processing Warning - When an agent is configured to run on all sub-items, a warning now appears during appointment showing how many items will be affected. This helps prevent unintended large-scale processing in folders with many sub-items.
   
• Improved Date Interpretation - Agents now handle relative dates, date ranges, and timezone-aware scheduling more accurately, improving reliability for date-based actions and planning workflows.

Templates & Solutions Center - Now Visible to All Users

Available on Business and higher plans

New Klaxoon Board Experience

Available to all users

The new Board experience is designed to make those first moments on a whiteboard smoother and more intuitive, helping teams get started faster.

What’s new?

• Simplified navigation: two clear modes - Hand for navigating and Arrow for selecting.
• Improved selection: it’s now easier to select empty shapes and grab objects even when the selection rectangle only partially overlaps them.
• Redesigned toolbar: a customizable toolbar puts sticky notes front and center and removes the separate + button.
• Better facilitation tools: present, comments, and interact actions are grouped together, with participants visible at a glance.
• Unified settings: personal and whiteboard settings now live in one place.

Klaxoon Whiteboard - Activity Lifecycle Setting for Admins

Available on all plans

The new Activity Lifecycle feature helps admins improve security and lifecycle management by automatically closing inactive activities and deleting closed ones after a set period.

What’s new?

• Independent controls: Admins can enable auto-closing and auto-delete separately.
• Auto-closing: Set an inactivity period from 1-12 months, with 6 months as the default. Users receive a one-time email notification and can reopen activities if needed.
• Auto-delete: Activities that have been closed for 24 months are moved to the bin, with advance notifications, a recovery window, and an Expiring soon badge that shows the deletion date in a tooltip.
• Audit Log tracking: All closing and deletion actions are logged in Audit Log, and both options are off by default and can be enabled per team or for the whole company.
