The Scenario
You're a program manager reviewing the critical path of a 200-task Wrike project before a quarterly business review. You need every dependency pair — predecessor, successor, type — in a sheet so you can audit the schedule logic in Excel. Your QBR is Friday. Today is Wednesday.
The bad version:
- Open Wrike's Gantt view. Hover over individual tasks to see their dependency arrows. There's no export for dependency relationships.
- Click into each task, open the dependencies panel, note the predecessor task name and dependency type in a text document.
- Do this for 200 tasks. Some have three predecessors. Some have none. Keeping track of which tasks you've already checked requires a second tab and careful attention.
- Transfer everything from the text document into the Google Sheet. Spend an hour reconciling the task names because Wrike's display name for a task in the dependency panel is sometimes truncated.
You're trying to audit a schedule, but first you have to manually reconstruct the data that the schedule is built on.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Google Sheet. It reads Wrike's dependency API and writes every predecessor-successor pair — with types — into your sheet in one operation. No Gantt hovering, no manual transcription.
Fetch all task dependencies in Wrike for folder 12345678 and write predecessor task name, successor task name, and dependency type into this sheet — one row per dependency pair
What You Get
- Every dependency relationship in the project written into the sheet with predecessor, successor, and type columns.
- Dependency types included (Finish-to-Start, Start-to-Start, Finish-to-Finish, Start-to-Finish).
- Full task names, not truncated display strings.
- The raw table you can sort, filter, and audit without going back into Wrike.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
You also need the current status of both tasks in each pair
List all Wrike task dependencies across the project in folder 12345678 and populate this sheet with: Predecessor Task, Predecessor Status, Successor Task, Successor Status, Dependency Type
You want to flag dependencies where the predecessor is not yet complete but the successor is already in progress
Fetch all task dependencies for Wrike folder 12345678 and write Predecessor Task, Predecessor Status, Successor Task, Successor Status, and Dependency Type into this sheet — add a column F flagging "CONFLICT" where the predecessor status is not "Completed" and the successor status is "In Progress"
You need dependencies across multiple folders
Fetch task dependencies for Wrike folders 11111111, 22222222, and 33333333 and write Predecessor Task, Predecessor Folder, Successor Task, Successor Folder, and Dependency Type into this sheet — one row per dependency pair
Full schedule audit table in one prompt
Fetch all task dependencies for folder 12345678, join each task's due date and status, then write Predecessor Task, Predecessor Due Date, Predecessor Status, Successor Task, Successor Due Date, Successor Status, Dependency Type, and a column flagging "AT RISK" if the predecessor due date is after the successor start date
One ask builds the audit-ready dependency table with schedule conflict flagging.
