Why teams connect D2l Brightspace and Wrike

Keep the people, teams, and status that Wrike and D2l Brightspace share aligned in real time, so a hire, role change, or departure recorded in one reaches the other within seconds.

Each tool in Wrike keeps its own list of who can use it: users, members, or agents, along with the team they sit on and whether they are still active. D2l Brightspace is the authoritative record of the same people as employees, with their department, manager, and employment status. When those two are connected only by manual account admin or a periodic export, the work tools drift: new hires wait days for access, team and manager changes never catch up, and people who have left keep standing accounts.

Stacksync syncs Spaces, Tasks, Folders & Projects, Custom Fields in Wrike with Enrollments, Org Units, Grades, Content (Modules, Topics, and User Progress) in D2l Brightspace bi-directionally and in real time. A person added, moved, or offboarded in D2l Brightspace creates or updates the matching user in Wrike within seconds, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution in place of spreadsheets and one-off account changes. Where Wrike captures details of its own, such as a corrected contact or a login identity, those can flow back to D2l Brightspace in whichever direction you configure.

Because the sync is field-level, each system keeps its own extras; only the shared facts, who a person is, which team they belong to, and whether their access should be on, are held in agreement.

Common use cases

  • 01 Mirror Folders, Projects, and Timelogs into a warehouse for cross-team reporting on status, timelines, and logged hours without manual exports.
  • 02 Push support tickets or intake requests from an operational database into Wrike Tasks, then read completion and status Custom Fields back when work finishes.
  • 03 Pull Content user progress and Quiz attempt results into a Postgres warehouse for engagement and completion analytics.
  • 04 Sync Assignment (Dropbox) submissions and feedback into a reporting database or downstream review tool.

Common sync patterns

Onboarding: access ready on day one

A new hire recorded in D2l Brightspace creates the matching user in Wrike with the right team and manager already set, so people can start working without waiting on a provisioning ticket.

Offboarding: no standing access after a departure

When someone is marked as leaving in D2l Brightspace, the matching account in Wrike is deactivated or flagged, so departures do not leave open access behind.

One employee directory

A person's name, title, contact details, or status corrected in either system updates the other, so both sides stop maintaining separate copies of the same person.

What you can sync between D2l Brightspace and Wrike

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

D2l Brightspace objects Wrike objects How this pairing syncs
Org Units The org structure — course offerings, sections, departments, and semesters; read for hierarchy and created/updated to provision courses from a database. Contacts Account members and user groups referenced by task responsibles and authors; read to resolve IDs to names and email addresses. Org Units is specific to D2l Brightspace and Contacts to Wrike — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Grades Grade objects, categories, schemes, and per-user grade values in the Learning Environment (le) component; values can be read out and written back onto the gradebook. Workflows Sets of custom statuses grouped into stages (Active, Completed, Cancelled, Deferred); read to map task status transitions to database values. Grades is specific to D2l Brightspace and Workflows to Wrike — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Content (Modules, Topics, and User Progress) Course content structure plus per-user completion; progress is read into a warehouse and topics can be created and updated via the API. Spaces Top-level containers that hold Folders, Projects, and their members; used to scope which Folders a given sync covers. Content (Modules, Topics, and User Progress) is specific to D2l Brightspace and Spaces to Wrike — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Quizzes Quiz objects and per-user attempts and results; attempt data is read out for engagement and completion analytics. Tasks The primary unit of work and main record; created, updated, completed, and deleted via the REST v4 API and synced two-way. Subtasks are Tasks linked by superTask/subTask references. Quizzes is specific to D2l Brightspace and Tasks to Wrike — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Assignments (Dropbox) Dropbox folders, submissions, and feedback; submission and evaluation data is read into reporting systems and feedback can be written back. Folders & Projects The container hierarchy: Folders group Tasks, and Projects add dates, an owner, and a status. Each maps to a synced table scope, and its structure defines what a sync covers. Assignments (Dropbox) is specific to D2l Brightspace and Folders & Projects to Wrike — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Groups and Sections Group categories, groups, and section membership within an org unit; enrollments are read and written to keep cohort assignments aligned. Custom Fields Typed fields (Text, Numeric, Date, DropDown, Contacts, Checkbox) defined at account or space level; mapped to database columns, with values written by field ID. Groups and Sections is specific to D2l Brightspace and Custom Fields to Wrike — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between D2l Brightspace and Wrike

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Rate-limit considerations

  • D2l Brightspace: Per-caller token-bucket credit scheme; each route costs credits, responses carry X-Rate-Limit-Remaining, and over-quota calls return HTTP 429. D2L can adjust per-route credit costs.
  • Wrike: Approximately 400 requests/minute per user (estimated on a per-second basis) with a higher per-IP ceiling; exceeding the limit or tripping Wrike's internal overload protection returns HTTP 429, handled with exponential backoff.

How the D2l Brightspace and Wrike connectors work

D2l Brightspace

Integration surface
Brightspace (Valence) REST API split into independently-versioned Learning Platform (lp) and Learning Environment (le) components, plus the Data Hub / Data Export Framework and Brightspace Data Streams
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 authorization-code grant against the D2L auth service (auth.brightspace.com); a registered app holds a client ID and secret with per-scope grants (group:resource:action, e.g. users:userdata:read), short-lived access tokens, and refresh tokens
Change detection
Polling Valence endpoints with date/bookmark filters, differential Brightspace Data Sets (BDS) bulk exports for changed rows via the Data Hub, and Brightspace Data Streams webhooks (xAPI activity events) for near-real-time signals
Capabilities
read · write · webhooks
Rate limits
Per-caller token-bucket credit scheme; each route costs credits, responses carry X-Rate-Limit-Remaining, and over-quota calls return HTTP 429. D2L can adjust per-route credit costs.
D2l Brightspace setup guide

Wrike

Integration surface
REST API v4 (JSON), single account endpoint such as www.wrike.com/api/v4; the data-center host (US or EU) comes from the OAuth token response, plus REST-managed Webhooks
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 for multi-user apps (Authorization header carrying access_token and requested scopes), and a legacy Permanent Access Token for single-account and testing use
Change detection
Webhooks scoped to a folder, a space, or the whole account fire on events like TaskCreated, TaskStatusChanged, and FolderCreated, with event filtering and custom payload fields; polling the task updatedDate is the fallback
Capabilities

Rate limits
Approximately 400 requests/minute per user (estimated on a per-second basis) with a higher per-IP ceiling; exceeding the limit or tripping Wrike's internal overload protection returns HTTP 429, handled with exponential backoff
