Overview

You can set up notifications to receive Wrike notifications in Slack.

Note

Slack notifications are independent of email notifications. Your Slack notification settings don't affect your email notification settings.

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 of your choice. You can receive instant notifications when:

  • A task or subtask is created within the folder or a project.

  • 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 to tasks in the selected folder or project. (Proofing comments don't trigger Slack notifications as well as comments added to the folder/project directly).

Note

If you enable notifications, then you'll 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.
