How does the notification system works?


In Wrike, there are two types of notifications: those that appear online and those that are sent via email. Online notifications keep you informed about all changes in your tasks. Wrike's email notification system is designed to save you time and help you always stay on the same page with your team. At the same time, we designed it so you can customize the stream of notifications that you receive.

By default, you receive notifications about the tasks that you have created and the tasks assigned to you. At your desire, in each folder with tasks, you can add notifications about the tasks that are shared with you. In this case, you change your email notification type to "All." Alternatively, you can turn off notifications in a particular folder, in case you are not interested in instantly hearing about the changes. In the Account section, you can switch to a daily digest if you want to get updates in an abridged version, instead of immediate notification delivery.

Let us summarize the basic principles in Wrike's notification system:

  • The responsible party and task author are automatically notified about any updates. When anybody updates a task, whether in the list or on a timeline, the responsible party and the author are automatically notified about the change details via email. That way the people who are the most concerned about the task progress are always aware of it. Moreover, you save time because there is no need for you to additionally inform people about your actions on the task.
  • People with whom the task is shared receive automatic notifications about the changes, according to the notification type chosen by them.
  • When you assign a task to yourself in Wrike, you do not get an additional email. Since you created the task, you already know about it, so you do not need to get a notification. We try to make notifications as smart and valuable as possible.
