Using SharePoint Online UI >> we can share a document with specific external users (with Read-Only permission) using those steps:-
now we are developing power automate flow, which need to create similar share links, but without sending a direct email to the external users' emails >> instead we want to get the sharing link >> prepare an custom HTML table which contain the share link address and then send the HTML table to the external users later on.
so can we do so using SharePoint REST API ? and how?

Hi @johnjohn123
I hope this action in sharepoint can help you 🙂
@Nived_Nambiar Thanks for the quick reply. but unfortunelty no it will not work for us, this action allow us to create anonymous link or link for people in our organization, while in our case we want the sharing link to target specific users.. so it is not an anonymous link.and there is not any built-in action which support what we are looking for, so that why we are trying to develop a custom rest api, but we are not sure about the parameters we need to send. hope this explain the case..
