BCC Your E-mail To wrike@wrike.com And Control the Automatic Invitation of the Recipient to Wrike

Published by Valerie  |  Wednesday, 18 June, 2008
By default, when you CC an e-mail to wrike@wrike.com, the task is instantly created in Wrike and shared with the e-mail recipient. You and the email recipient can work on the task together. If one of you updates the task, the other person become instantly aware of the task progress, thanks to email notifications.

If the recipient is not a Wrike user yet, he or she gets an automatic invitation to Wrike. It is very convenient because you are freed from the additional job of inviting people on your own. Wrike does it for you.

Our users love this feature, especially when they want to show the progress of the task associated with the client’s projects. You just need to CC an e-mail with a task to a client, so that he or she can view the progress.

However, some users were slightly worried that some clients might find this feature unnecessary. After multiple customer requests, we have introduced a way to create a task from an e-mail while turning off the feature that would invite the recipients to Wrike and share the task with them.

For example, you may want to keep track of a lead with the help of Wrike without inviting the client to share the task.  So you simply send an answer to a client’s request for proposal and BCC the e-mail to wrike@wrike.com. The task is created in Wrike and is not shared with the client.


Certainly, when necessary, you can easily invite the client to join Wrike, so he or she can keep track of the project progress. To do so, simply type the person’s e-mail in the “shared with” field. Read more about how to share a task and how to share a folder
