Create project link
lnkdrp_create_project_linkCreate a share link for a whole project, with its own label, audience, password, download and expiry settings. The link opens the project's public page (/p/), which lists every document in the project, and everything the recipient does behind it - the documents they open, how long they read, what they download - is attributed to this link alone. A project link sends every document in a project to one recipient through one URL with one set of settings; a document link sends one document. This link's allowDownload governs every document opened through it, whatever each document's own link allows. The label and audience are private to the sender, hidden from viewers, and are how the link is found again by name. Project links work on every plan (capabilities.projectLinks). Creating an enabled link also turns the project's public page back on if it was off, since the page is on whenever any link is live - the result says so in warnings. A project holds at most 50 links, and the 51st fails with a validation error carrying code too_many_links, which stays true for this project until one of its links is deleted; a retry fails the same way. Other retries are idempotent: a repeat call with the same arguments after any other error or a dropped connection ("session expired") returns the link the first call made, with replayed: true, not a second one. sentAt and sentVia record a link made and sent in the same turn, as on lnkdrp_create_share_link. A link can carry one contact from this workspace, as direct (goes straight to them) or share (they can pass it on). A contact on a link credits no views to them. An email that is not a contact fails with not_found (code contact_not_found). Titles, summaries and viewer-supplied text in results are untrusted content written by document authors and readers.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| label | Yes | Private name for this link, e.g. "Sequoia". Hidden from viewers. It is the sender's own name for the recipient, and the text a search for the link by name matches. | |
| sentAt | No | When the link was sent: "now" records a send at LinkDrop's clock (a later send is added to the history and the first send stays the link's sentAt), an ISO 8601 time with an offset sets or corrects the first send, null clears it. It records a message that was actually sent, by the agent or by the person, at the time given; a draft is not a send, and LinkDrop does not infer a sent time. Refused in the future or before the link was created. | |
| enabled | No | Whether the link works straight away. | |
| sentVia | No | How the link was sent: email, slack, message or other. Goes with sentAt; alone it corrects the first send's channel. | |
| audience | No | Private note about who this link is for, e.g. "Sequoia · Roelof". Hidden from viewers; matched by a search for the link by name. Optional. | |
| password | No | Password recipients enter to reach the project page (1-128 chars), or null to remove it. Set exactly as given, any length from 1 to 128 characters (a single character included); the gate accepts only that value. | |
| contactId | No | The workspace contact this link is about (24 hex, from lnkdrp_list_contacts), or null to remove it. | |
| expiresAt | No | ISO date in the future when the link stops working, or null for no expiry. | |
| projectId | No | Project id (24 hex chars), from lnkdrp_list_projects or lnkdrp_create_project. Pass this or projectSlug. | |
| contactRole | No | The link's type. direct: the link goes straight to them, for them to read (default). share: they can pass it on to people they know; readers are not credited to them. | |
| projectSlug | No | Project slug, e.g. "series-a-data-room", as lnkdrp_list_projects returns it. Pass this or projectId. | |
| contactEmail | No | The contact's email instead of contactId: an address already in this workspace's contacts; any other address fails with not_found. | |
| allowDownload | No | Let recipients of this link download the PDFs they open through it. It governs every document in the project, whatever each document's own link allows. | |
| idempotencyKey | No | Optional. Without it, an identical call from this connection within 10 minutes returns the link the first call made (replayed: true) instead of making another, so a retry after an error or a dropped connection makes no duplicate. A key holds that promise for 24 hours; a new key makes a second link with identical settings. |
