Real-Time All-Around! Meet the NEW Live Editor for Task Description
You know how rewarding it is to instantly see the project updates in Wrike. Whenever your teammate adds a new comment, completes a task or adjusts the schedule on the Timeline, you see that change without the need to refresh the page. But what if you could also see the changes your colleagues make to the task or project description in real time? Imagine how easy it would be to brainstorm, make notes during a call and edit a piece of copy together! Wrike's new LIVE Editor makes this possible by bringing real-time collaborative text-editing right into your workspace. You know how rewarding it is to instantly see the project updates in Wrike. Whenever your teammate adds a new comment, completes a task or adjusts the schedule on the Timeline, you see that change without the need to refresh the page. But what if you could also see the changes your colleagues make to the task or project description in real time? Imagine how easy it would be to brainstorm, make notes during a call and edit a piece of copy together! Wrike's new LIVE Editor makes this possible by bringing real-time collaborative text-editing right into your workspace: IMPORTANT: If you are an existing customer, the decision on switching to the NEW LIVE Editor will be made by one of your account administrators. Please note that the colored text and tables created in the old editor will be available in the read-only mode. All administrators soon will be offered the chance to make a switch upon editing any description in their workspace. Update May 30, 2013: No matter how long ago a task was created, you can now edit tables in its description collaboratively with your team in real time. To learn more about how new LIVE Editor makes editing process agile and simple, check out the details of its exciting features: 1. Edit the description with several users simultaneously. It's a true gem for remote teams! Collaboration on the text is now as easy as if you were sitting next to each other. With LIVE Editor you can see the changes the moment your colleagues type them. And, as the name of the author is displayed above the moving cursor, you can instantly spot who is taking part in the editing process. This way, the collaboration on the text becomes truly interactive. The notification via e-mail and in the Activity Stream will mention the person who made the last changes over the past 5 minutes. This way your notification stream will remain neat! 2. It's all about time: No need to click "save." We know how valuable every second of the intensive work day can be, and that's why all the changes you make are saved right as you type them. This is convenient and fast, and also helps avoid data loss even if your browser crashes. 3. Make changes even easier with Undo/Redo. Have doubts on the just-changed part of the description? With LIVE Editor's new Undo/Redo button you can reverse the change with a single click. 4. Navigation is fast with embedded links. Preserving the best from the old editor's features, the NEW LIVE Editor conveniently substitutes the links to the tasks by the task's name, so that you can easily spot what task the link refers to. As a valuable bonus, LIVE Editor also automatically transforms the manually entered address into a link. 5. Inserting a pic is as simple as 1-2-3. Just like it was before, a quick drag-and-drop or the key combination Ctrl+V will instantly paste the needed pic into the description field. Can't wait to try all the benefits of the LIVE Editor? This new feature is automatically available to all of Wrike's new users and will be gradually rolled out to all existing customers.

Wrike Integrates with Zapier for a World of Automation
Wrike always strives to keep all your work information connected. Which is why there is an ongoing effort to integrate it with all your favorite apps and project management automation tools. Meet our latest great integration: Zapier. Zapier is an action automation cloud tool that makes it easy and effortless to pass data between two separate apps. So effortless that once you set up your account you won't have to lift a finger! You create customizable actions that send information of your choosing from one app to another, freeing you from tedious housekeeping tasks. When paired with the productivity power of Wrike, it means one thing: you get your work done faster. Say you want every new reminder logged in Evernote to create a task in Wrike. You create a "Zap" in Zapier connecting the two. Zaps are automated processes made of two parts: a trigger and a resulting action. In this case, creating an Evernote reminder is the trigger, and creating a new task in Wrike is the action that occurs once the trigger is sensed by the system. Every new reminder automatically becomes a Wrike task, and you didn't even have to think about it. Or you could create a Zap wherein every new Google Calendar event automatically creates a task in Wrike, bypassing the need to go into Wrike and do it manually. It's all about convenience and saving time — which gets our thumbs up. Wrike's integration with Zapier even allows you to fine tune the details of the resulting action, for example: • Choose task type (planned, backlogged, or milestone) in order to differentiate urgent to-do items and goals from reference material. • Set the start and due date for tasks using expressions like "tomorrow" and "next week". If you create a Zap to transfer your support tickets or other date-sensitive tasks to Wrike, they'll be tackled in no time! • Add rich text task descriptions — say a new email is turned into a Wrike task, the text formatting will remain the same. • Select a subfolder so your automated tasks are housed by email sender, originating source, month created, and more. Watch our video to learn more helpful Zaps you can create for your team: Using Zapier with Wrike To create your own Zaps from scratch, simply designate Wrike as either the trigger or the action. But if you're starting out, it may be more convenient to make use of one of the many Zaps that other users have created, and use one as a template for creating your own custom Zap. Step-by-Step Instructions for Using Zapier with Wrike: 1. Sign up or log into your Zapier account. 2. Click the "Make a New Zap" button. 3. Choose Wrike as the trigger or action. 4. The first time you create a Zap with Wrike, you will be asked to log into your Wrike account. 5. Make a Zap or explore pre-made Zaps. Have you already tried our Zapier integration?
