@Mention yourself to show up in inbox
When you @mention yourself, can we have it show up in your inbox? Our team members often are looking at many different tasks/projects and auditing as they go, and it would be nice to be able to @mention yourself in a task or project and get a notification of it to check on later, without having to assign the task to yourself. The only place in Wrike to see @mentions is in your inbox, but they are only visible if other users @mention you.
We use the "Star" feature for this - star the task in the top right corner, and it'll show up in the Starred tab of the Inbox.
Good idea, Meredith, but starred items can't be "snoozed" or reminders set to ping you at a certain time. Being able to create an Inbox item by self-@mention would have these functionalities (sort of, setting a time is currently limited to "3 hours from now" or 8AM on any given day). I do wish Wrike had some way for me to set a reminder for a task to pop up a notification at a certain time on a certain day, for follow-up, whether or not it is assigned to me or another person or group.

Excellent idea, I really need this for my team too and I don't get why this is not a default feature :)
I agree. It's helpful to be able to have something show up in your inbox so you remember to do it later; I would like to use this in the same way that one might email themselves as a reminder.

+1 for this idea!!! So many people on my team ask about this missing feature because the Inbox is their default to-do list. Sure, starring a task will save it for you as a reminder, but what if you don't remember the action you're supposed to take?
Being able to tag myself with a specific message reminder would be so, so incredibly helpful! Example: Facilitating Standup for the Agile Marketing Team and someone asks me to check in with a stakeholder to unblock a task on the Board. If I tag myself in the comments as a reminder, I don't get a notification. It's easier to write a note to yourself than to ask someone to transcribe it for you. Slows down the process.
Daisy Hibbard How do we get more support for this idea? Definitely keen to add this feature
Anna Duyckinck I shared this page with our Marketing team, the folks using Wrike the most, and told them they could upvote the idea if they supported the feature idea. :)
