Key Releases of 2024 🎯
Throughout the year, we launched several key features designed to streamline workflow efficiency.
The first important release we’d like to talk about is the New Dashboards.

One of the key releases of 2024 is Wrike Datahub. It is your new ally in connecting your data to the way you work in Wrike. This innovative tool connects all your data, making it easily accessible for every team member. Datahub acts as a dynamic, scalable solution, consolidating your data to enhance strategic planning, workflow execution, and reporting - all from within your Wrike workspace!
Other notable releases are the new triggers and actions in Wrike Automation, Timesheet Approvals, exciting Request forms enhancements that include customizing post-submission emails to improve communication as well as constraints for date questions.

Beta Programs & Interviews 🗣️
In parallel with these enhancements, we actively involved you through diverse beta programs. Participants provided critical input on converting tasks to projects, invoicing features, and usability studies for timesheet approvals. This collaboration extended to prospective integrations with QuickBooks and portfolio management strategies (this research continues in 2025.) Moreover, user feedback on account growth, budgeting processes, and the implementation of expression language in automation has been invaluable, illustrating our commitment to evolve in tandem with your needs and insights.
We’re grateful to everyone who helps us shape the future of Wrike by participating in betas and interviews 💚
