How can I update a task via email?
You can easily update a task that was created in Wrike via email. You simply forward or reply to this email and keep wrike at wrike.com among the recipients. This way, Wrike works whether you reply to someone's email or your own emails.
Once Wrike receives an email that contains "RE" in the subject, it searches for the task by subject in the indicated folder and updates the task's description. The folder is defined as a word or phrase in the square brackets in the subject line. In case the task has already been moved to another folder, the system searches for the task by subject within your entire workspace.
If Wrike receives an email that contains "FW" in the subject, in addition to updating other task properties, it also reassigns the task to the email recipient.
If several tasks with the identical name are found, you are asked to choose the proper task and update it manually.
Besides the description, other task properties can also be updated via email:
Status.
Indicate the desired status of the task in the subject line of your email. Simply add the proper tag in the square brackets to update the task's status: [completed], [active], [deferred] or [postponed].
Due date.
If you change the date in square brackets in the subject line, the task's due date is updated.Priority.
If you change the priority of your email, the task's priority is updated.
Stay tuned; we are working on processing replies to Wrike's email notifications.

What impressed me, and made Wrike my first choice, was the great responses you provided in the comments section of the reviews I found on the web. I saw your focus was on creating a fantastic product and you understood the reviews were a key part of the process. You took those comments in stride; your responses were well thought out and extremely helpful in proving to me your company would likely be the best choice."
