Situation

You sent an email to wrike@wrike.com or a task, folder, or project's unique email address, but it didn’t create or update a task.

Possible Solutions

• Make sure that you sent an email from the email address associated with your Wrike account.
• If you’re a member of multiple Wrike accounts, check your email integration settings to make sure you’re sending the email from the right email address to the right Wrike account.
• Check if your email has a subject line. Emails with an empty subject line don’t trigger task creation and updates.
• Sometimes it takes a couple of minutes for the email to create or update a task, so wait for a few moments before checking if the task or comment is created after you send the email.
• Check if you are sending the email to the right address.
  
  • If you want to create a task in a particular folder or project, use the address wrike+intoID@wrike.com or just copy-paste this unique address from Wrike:
    
    1. Click on the permalink icon at the top-right corner of the task.
    2. Copy the link from the "Emails for sending tasks to this project" box.
  • If you want to update one of your tasks, projects or folders, use the address wrike+ID@wrike.com or use this address:
    
    1. Click on the permalink icon at the top-right corner of the task.
    2. Copy the link from the "Emails for sending tasks to this project" box.
  • If you send an email to email integration settings.
• Check if you have "RE:" and "FW:" in the beginning of the subject line. Emails containing "RE:" and "FW:" add an email body as a comment to the task. Note that if there’s "RE" in the subject line, then Wrike ignores the unique email address. If you want to create a new task in a specific folder or project and "RE" is in the subject line, then you need to format your subject line to specify a folder/project in which you want to create a task.
