CreateRequestLink Method

Creates a new request link.

Syntax

async sharefile.createRequestLink(folderId : string): Promise<string>

Remarks

This method will create a new request link. The method will then fire the LinkList event, and will populate the Link* properties (clearing any previously-held items in the process) with the new request link. It will also return the new request link as a string. FolderId is the ID for the directory where the files will be uploaded in ShareFile. The CreateLinkOptions* properties can be used to specify the different options for the newly created link.

Note that the string root may be used as a FolderId to represent the root folder, and the string home may be used as a folder Id to represent the home folder for the current user. Other special id's include:

• favorites
• allshared
• connectors
• box
• top

string FolderId = shareFile.CreateFolder("Incoming Folder", "home");
string Link = shareFile.CreateRequestLink(FolderId);
