Step-by-step guide

How to connect GitHub to Wrike

Follow these steps to set up your integration. The entire process takes under 5 minutes.

What you'll need

  • An active GitHub account with repository access
  • An active Wrike account
  • A free DeskFerry account (sign up takes 30 seconds)
Start setup
  1. Step 01

    Create your DeskFerry account

    Sign up at deskferry.app — it takes 30 seconds and starts a 7-day free trial. You'll land on the dashboard where you can create your first workflow.

  2. Step 02

    Authenticate GitHub

    Click "Add Connection" and select GitHub from the app directory. You'll be redirected to GitHub's authorization page. Grant DeskFerry access to your repositories, issues, and project data. You control which repos and projects the integration can access.

  3. Step 03

    Authenticate Wrike

    Same process for Wrike. Click "Add Connection," select Wrike, and authorize access. Grant DeskFerry access to your workspaces, databases, pages, and tasks. You select which workspaces the integration can read and write to.

  4. Step 04

    Choose your trigger

    Select what event starts the workflow. For this integration, popular triggers include: new commit pushed in github or new item created in wrike. The trigger fires automatically whenever that event happens — no manual intervention.

  5. Step 05

    Configure the action

    Define what happens when the trigger fires. For example: create item in wrike. Map the data fields between GitHub and Wrike so the right information lands in the right place.

  6. Step 06

    Test and activate

    Run a test to confirm data flows correctly between GitHub and Wrike. Check that the fields map as expected, then toggle the workflow on. It runs 24/7 from here — DeskFerry handles retries, error logging, and monitoring automatically.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect GitHub to Wrike?

Sign up for a free DeskFerry account, then click "Add Connection" to authenticate both GitHub and Wrike via OAuth. Choose a workflow template — like syncing developer tools events to productivity actions — customize the field mapping, and activate. The entire setup takes under 5 minutes.

What can I automate between GitHub and Wrike?

Popular automations include: create Wrike tasks from GitHub issues, sync GitHub PR statuses to Wrike items, close Wrike tasks when GitHub issues resolve, and update Wrike sprint boards from GitHub milestones. Labels and priority fields map automatically.

Is the GitHub and Wrike integration free?

DeskFerry's 7-day free trial is enough to prove the workflow out. If your GitHub-to-Wrike workflows need more volume, paid plans start at $49/month with unlimited workflows and priority execution.

Is my GitHub data secure when connected to Wrike?

Yes. DeskFerry uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication — we never store your GitHub or Wrike passwords. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Your developer tools data is only accessed when a workflow runs, and you can revoke access at any time from your DeskFerry dashboard.

Can I sync data both ways between GitHub and Wrike?

Yes. You can set up workflows that trigger from either GitHub or Wrike. For example, create a workflow where GitHub events update Wrike, and a separate one where Wrike changes sync back to GitHub. Each direction is configured independently so you have full control.

Do I need technical skills to connect GitHub and Wrike?

No coding is required. DeskFerry's builder is prompt-based: you describe the trigger and what should happen in plain English, and the agent handles the field mapping. If you can use GitHub and Wrike, you can set up the integration. Most users are running their first workflow within 10 minutes.
