    There is no easy way to do this.  You can easily include a link to the document itself, but not the library.

    Hi @Amos,

     

    Unfortunately, there is no direct action that could create a Share link to a SharePoint library in Power Automate currently.

    There already have an idea in the IDEA forum, you could head to vote it, collects votes to make it come true:

    This topic was one of the first in a Google search for linking to a document library. Yes, it's oly, but maybe there will someone else looking for this.

     

    I've solved this using the following expression in a string variable:

     

    concat(first(split(triggerBody()?['entity']?['itemUrl'],'_layouts')),outputs('Dateieigenschaften_abrufen')?['body/{Path}'])

     

    The German "Dateieigenschaften abrufen" is the name of the "Get file properties" action.

    This gives you the link and you can e.g. use it in an e-mail. Then you need to add the <a href="yourvariablename">click here</a> tags. Be careful, you might need to change , for ; because of regional settings.

     

    Hope this helps somebody who came here by searching how to provide a link to a library. And by the way, this works even when there is a subfolder within the library.

     

    Cheers,

    Nina
