Setting Up a Wrike Automation
This guide walks you through connecting your Wrike account to TurboDocx and creating an automation with a trigger status and monitored folder. Once complete, you'll configure the automation's action in a follow-up guide.
Prerequisites
Before starting, make sure you have:
- A Wrike API access token (see Get Your Wrike Access Token below)
- A template in TurboDocx ready for document generation (see How to Create a Template)
- The Wrike folder permalink for the folder you want to monitor
Get Your Wrike Access Token
- Log into Wrike
- Go to Settings > Apps & Integrations > API
- Create a new permanent access token or use an existing one
- Copy the token — you'll paste it in the next section
For detailed instructions, see Wrike's official API documentation.
