Feedback on New Outlook Calendar Automation Integration
The Outlook Calendar integration is a great start - here's what could be better:
1. The events created are just the task/project name - there's no active link to click to open the item. It would be more helpful if the Outlook Calendar item had the Wrike task/project permalink in the Location field for the calendar appointment.
2. Would be nice to be able to set the timeframe for the automation-created appointment rather than either a) immediately for 1 hour or b) all day.
3. Need ability to set which calendar the events are created on - If I have a shared project calendar in Outlook that I am the owner of, and I want all task due dates for that project to show up on that separate calendar, not on my individual calendar, I need to be able to tell the automation which calendar to point to.
4. I understand why it's not possible to set up the automation to put items on the assignees' calendars without each assignee granting credentialed consent, but it would be nice to be able to at least click a button to send them an .ics file for their calendars for an item.

Yes, I am also looking for the ability to choose which calendar to have these sent to, as it's not practical to have it go to my main calendar right now.
Hi Sarah Dungey, thank you very much for creating this post and for your detailed feedback, I'll share your comment with our Product Team 👍
I'd also like to mention that currently, there are two available paid add-ons available which allow you to integrate Wrike with Outlook Calendar:
1- Wrike Sync, which you can use to configure what events to create in Outlook Calendar based on Wrike items. You can find additional information about this option here.
2- Wrike Integrate, very useful for performing low code transformations to achieve almost any automation you need.
If you are interested in any of these options, please let us know 🙂
Alexandra Fausett thank you for supporting Sarah's idea, I'm passing your feedback on to our dedicated team 👍
