Update Request: Folders to Group Automation Rules
Good afternoon,
We have been using Wrike for ~3 years now and have grown the team significantly in that time. That being said, we have accrued many automation rules that span across many Spaces during that expansion.
Most of these automations are in the "Account" level, since there is no easy way to duplicate "Space" level automations across other Spaces, and our automations are similar enough that duplicating them and changing the Space they apply to is easier than re-writing them all from scratch.
As a result, we have close to 200 automations in the Account level that we have meticulously named so we know what each of them do, but the list is getting too long to properly navigate.
If there was a way to create a folder structure so we could group all our automation rules, managing these automations would be monumentally easier.
Wrike currently has a limit of 4,000 unique automations per account, but once you approach even a few dozen, it becomes cumbersome without a way to organize these rules.
I'm sure many others out there who take advantage of the automations in Wrike would appreciate this feature as well.
All in all, we still love Wrike, but this would be a huge quality of life improvement for what I hope is a low-hanging fruit from a development standpoint.

I second this! We have recently starting migrating more of our business processes into Wrike. One of the processes alone for one location is over 10 automations and this process needs to be the same, but different assignees based on which location they are submitting the request for. Now duplicate this across multiple locations and the automation area gets very cluttered. It would be nice to have a folder structure like was recently added for the tools in the automation area to help us stay organized.
I agree. We also struggle to manage our large number of automations. The recent Wrike governance improvements have been so helpful and it would be nice to have some of the same organizational features applied to automations.
I concur! Being able to organize space and account automation rules in folders would be a tremendous asset.
Thank you, everyone, for supporting! 🙌 We’ll continue sharing your comments with our Product Team.
