How do I update a Wrike task?
Short answer: Drop the "Wrike → Update Task" action anywhere in your workflow, map the inputs from upstream nodes, and publish.

Every field can be mapped from an upstream trigger, AI step, table row, or hard-coded literal.

Task ID task_id | string | Required | The Task ID assigned by Wrike. Find via the corresponding list/search operation in this app. Use the exact ID, not a name or label. |

Sample request
{"task_id": "{{trigger.task_id}}","title": "{{trigger.title}}","status": "{{trigger.status}}","description": "{{trigger.description}}"}

FAQ
Questions about Update Task.
What does the Update Task action do in Wrike?
Updates fields on an existing Wrike task: title, description, status, assignees, dates, importance, or custom fields. Only the fields you pass are changed.
What inputs does Update Task require?
Required: Task ID. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.
Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?
Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.
What happens if Wrike returns an error?
The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.
Does Update Task support batch operations?
Yes. Run Update Task inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Wrike's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
