Feature Updates
- Automation Engine - Conditions are here!
You can now add conditions when creating automation rules. Conditions are a new capability of Wrike's Automation Engine that specifies criteria that the triggered item needs to meet in order for your rule to be executed. Put shortly, they are responsible for IF statements. The available automation conditioning logic is the same as the task and project filters that you see in your workspace, with options like Status, Assignee, Importance, custom fields, and others.
When a trigger occurs, the condition checks if additional criteria are true before executing the rule. If all criteria are met your automation rule will be applied. For example, you could now create an automation rule: WHEN the statuses of tasks from the "Website Design" project change to Deferred and IF the approval is still Pending, THEN @mention assignees and approvers and leave a comment.

Fixes
- Excel Import not Assigning Job Roles
When importing tasks from Excel you can assign Job roles (placeholders) as new assignees in user mapping. However, this function hasn't been working and tasks have remained unassigned. Never fear! We've fixed it.
OMG, automation conditions?
Whoop, whoop! 🥂
I see the user mapping interface has been changed a bit in comparsion how it was before that fix. A good point is that users list finally is alphabetically sorted, but it's still different than other Wrike interfaces. Any chance you can consider applying the same interface that other Wrike tasks show when selecting users (specially the part where you write the first letters of the name and the list is narrowed to only this pattern ?). It would be very useful when you have almost 200 users to choose from.
Thanks !
