Why teams connect Jira and Wrike

Connect the tickets, records, and events in Wrike to the systems engineering runs in Jira, kept current in real time and in both directions.

Wrike is where customer-facing and operational work happens: the tickets, conversations, contacts, and records a team touches every day. Jira is where engineering runs the systems behind that work — the issue trackers, message brokers, directories, and monitors that keep services moving. The same items, people, and events matter to both, and when the only link between them is a manual hand-off or an overnight export, each side acts on a stale copy of what the other already knows.

Stacksync syncs Custom Fields, Comments, Timelogs, Contacts in Wrike with Users, Issues, Projects, Comments in Jira field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields; Stacksync maps the overlap, resolves conflicts by rules you set, and keeps every copy current, with no middleware to build and no API limits to babysit.

Common use cases

  • 01 Write closed deals or new orders from a CRM or ERP into Wrike Tasks to launch delivery, onboarding, or fulfillment projects automatically.
  • 02 Mirror Folders, Projects, and Timelogs into a warehouse for cross-team reporting on status, timelines, and logged hours without manual exports.
  • 03 Sync Sprints and Boards with a capacity-planning tool so estimates and iteration scope stay aligned.
  • 04 Consolidate multiple Jira Projects or sites into one database, mapping Projects, Components, and Versions for cross-team reporting.

Common sync patterns

Where Jira is the directory or identity source: one set of users

People and accounts in Wrike stay matched to the users in Jira, so access, provisioning, and org changes propagate instead of being keyed in twice.

Where Jira watches operations: live volumes for visibility

Open items, throughput, and error counts from Wrike replicate into Jira, so the operational view reflects what is actually happening in the business.

One shared record across both systems

Where both systems keep records for the same contacts, items, or users, a correction in either updates the other, ending dual maintenance and keeping IDs aligned for every other flow.

What you can sync between Jira 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.

Jira objects Wrike objects How this pairing syncs
Comments Discussion threads on Issues; in v3 the body is Atlassian Document Format JSON, so rich text is preserved when syncing to and from other systems. Comments Discussion and activity entries attached to Tasks and Folders; read out for history and reporting or written back as comments. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Projects Containers that group Issues, workflows, and permissions; usually read to segment syncs by team, or written when standing up a new project. 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. Projects is specific to Jira and Tasks to Wrike — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Worklogs Time-tracking entries against Issues; read into warehouses for effort and capacity reporting, or written back from timesheet tools. 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. Worklogs is specific to Jira and Folders & Projects to Wrike — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sprints Agile iterations from the Jira Software API; synced to report scope, velocity, and burndown, and to move Issues between sprints. 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. Sprints is specific to Jira and Custom Fields to Wrike — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Versions Release / fix-version records per Project; synced to align roadmap and release tools on what ships in each version. Timelogs Time-tracking entries logged against Tasks; read for billing and utilization reporting or written back when hours are recorded elsewhere. Versions is specific to Jira and Timelogs to Wrike — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Components Sub-project categories used to route and group Issues; synced so ownership and triage stay consistent across tools. Contacts Account members and user groups referenced by task responsibles and authors; read to resolve IDs to names and email addresses. Components is specific to Jira and Contacts to Wrike — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Jira 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.

Jira Wrike Sub-second propagation

DetectionJira notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Jira webhooks (jira:issue_created / _updated / _deleted plus comment and worklog events) for near-real-time.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Wrike through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Wrike Jira Sub-second propagation

DetectionWrike notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks scoped to a folder, a space, or the whole account fire on events like TaskCreated, TaskStatusChanged, and FolderCreated, with event.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Jira through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Jira: Cost-based (points) model; 429 responses return Retry-After and X-RateLimit-* headers. JQL search costs far more than single-issue reads.
  • 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 Jira and Wrike connectors work

Jira

REST API v2 and v3 plus the Jira Software (Agile) REST API
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 (3LO) for apps, or Basic auth with an Atlassian account email plus API token
Change detection
Jira webhooks (jira:issue_created / _updated / _deleted plus comment and worklog events) for near-real-time; incremental JQL polling on the issue updated timestamp as a best-effort reconciliation fallback.

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
