Setting up Wrike action

After saving the event flow triggers, choose a Wrike Zibot action that will pass the information set in the previous step directly to Wrike:

Setting up Wrike Zibot actions in Ziflow

Use the following Zibots:

  1. Search Wrike folders - with this Zibot, you can search Wrike folders. Simply type in the folder name that you are looking for, and in the next step, you can use this information to make further updates.

    Search Wrike folders Zibot configuration

  2. Search Wrike task - with this Zibot, you can search for specific Wrike tasks. Simply type in the task name that you are looking for, and in the next step, you can use this information to make further updates.

    Search Wrike task Zibot configuration

  3. Create Wrike task - with this Zibot, you can add new tasks to your Wrike folders/projects. Specify the folder where the task should be added, the task title & task description.

    Create Wrike task Zibot configuration

  4. Update Wrike task - with this Zibot, you can update the Wrike task with changes from Ziflow:

    Update Wrike task Zibot configuration

  5. Update Wrike custom field - with this Zibot, you can update the values of custom fields added to specific tasks.

And you're done! Ziflow will now send or update data in the user's designated Wrike account.


Connect Ziflow proofs with Wrike tasks

Once you've connected Wrike to Ziflow, you can start linking proofs with the monday.com items from the Integrations tab while creating proofs or editing proof details.

It's important to keep in mind that to use integration fields while configuring or editing proofs, you must enable them in the application settings.

Connecting proofs with integration items is very quick and straightforward. During the proof configuration, open an integrations tab and select the Wrike item details (project/folder and task).

Wrike flow examples

Before you start configuring the flow, please make sure to read the Ziflow internal Zibots article. This step is necessary because you need to connect Ziflow as an internal application in order to use it to update proofs.

Create Wrike tasks for newly created proofs in Ziflow and seamlessly populate application fields.

Once Ziflow is connected to Wrike, you can seamlessly set up Wrike flows. With this flow example implemented, any newly created proofs in Ziflow will automatically trigger a corresponding flow, effortlessly adding tasks on the Wrike end.

1. Create a new flow and select the needed event trigger. In this case, it will be a New Proof/Version. You can narrow down proofs that will trigger the automation by configuring event settings. In my case, each created proof should trigger the Wrike flow.

Create a flow with a New Proof/Version as a flow event trigger

2. Add the Create Wrike task Zibot to your flow. Inside the Zibot configuration, select the folder where the task should be automatically added and also specify what should be entered in a task title field and in the task description.

Create Wrike task Zibot configuration

3. Next, you must add two internal Ziflow Zibots (Update proof integration property). They aim to populate the application fields (Project ID & Task ID) of a newly created proof with information sourced from Wrike.

5. Fill out the Update proof integration property Zibots configuration.

6. Check if adding a new proof in your account triggers the flow and populates fields on a proof level.

Update Wrike task status when a proof is Accepted.

1. Create a new flow with Ziflow as an application. The Decision made event trigger should be selected. I've selected the Approved decision on a proof level in configuration. You may use a different configuration that works for your use case.

Create a new flow with Ziflow as application and select The Decision made as an event trigger

3. In the next step, you'll need to add the Update Wrike task Zibot. Inside the Task ID field, please select a token containing Wrike task ID. In the task title, I decided to leave the proof name and change the task status to Completed.

Update Wrike task Zibot configuration

4. Save the flow and check if the task status is updated after calculating the proof's final status.
