Last year, one of my NetSuite clients introduced me to Wrike - an online (SaaS) system for managing projects, tasks, deadlines, workflows, and more. It's very easy to use, with an intuitive, flexible interface. If you aren't familiar with it, I encourage you to check it out.

Wrike provides an impressive, easy-to-use Web API. It's a full-featured API, and with it you can access everything from users, groups, workflows, custom fields, folders and projects, tasks, comments, and more.

I've been using the Wrike API on a couple of NetSuite / Wrike integration projects, where I'm both pushing and pulling data to and from NetSuite and Wrike. One of the first projects that I worked on is a simple portlet that uses the Wrike API to retrieve my active tasks, and display them on my NetSuite dashboard.

I thought I'd share the SuiteScript that I developed, and it is included at the end of this post. Again, it's very simple, but it does provide a nice foundation that you can build on, and code snippets that you could use for more advanced NetSuite / Wrike integrations.

Configuring the Portlet

In order to use the portlet, there are two settings that you need to set. One is the token, and the other is your contact ID.

To obtain a token, see the "Permanent access token" topic on this page: https://developers.wrike.com/oauth-20-authorization/

To obtain your contact ID (or the ID of another Wrike user that you're configuring the portlet for), I suggest making a call to the API's "Query Contacts" function, as described here: https://developers.wrike.com/api/v4/contacts/#query-contacts

As an alternative to specifying the settings in the script itself, you could use Script Parameters.

Adjusting the Wrike API Call

By default, the portlet is configured to retrieve all active tasks that have been assigned to the specified contact. Here's a code snippet that shows the call to the API.

var httpResponse = https.get(
	{
		url: 'https://www.wrike.com/api/v4/tasks/?responsibles=%5B%22' + contactID + '%22%5D&status=Active&sortField=Importance',
		headers: httpRequestHeaders
	}
);

The URL indicates that we want to retrieve active tasks, to which the contact is assigned ("responsible"), and that the tasks are to be sorted based on importance. If you're familiar with the Wrike API, you could adjust the URL to retrieve tasks that meet different criteria. For example, you might want to retrieve tasks that are assigned to multiple users.

Wrapping Up

I hope you find the portlet to be helpful. It's very basic, but I think it's a good example of how you can use the Wrike API to integrate Wrike with NetSuite. I've found it to be convenient, helping me to keep up with my open tasks, whether they're personal tasks or tasks associated with client projects.

As I mentioned above, you could use snippets of the code to build more advanced NetSuite / Wrike integrations. For example, I'm also working on an integration that automatically creates and assigns Wrike tasks based on NetSuite events and data.
