# Temporary Links

In this tutorial, we will create **temporary links** to share a site, a site group, or an alarm during the execution of a workflow.\
\
You can use temporary links to share information about a particular site or a particular alarm with stakeholders who do not have their own account in evalink talos.

### 1. Share a Site with a Temporary Link

From your evalink talos dashboard, navigate to the menu `Sites`and select the site you want to share.

On the tab `Overview`, click on the `Share` button on the bottom-right corner.

On the tab `Overview`, click on the `Share` button on the bottom-right corner.

Click on `+ Create Link` button, give a name to the share link and choose the desired settings.

### 3. Share an Alarm with a Temporary Link via a Workflow

evalink talos allows you to share a link with an expiry date during the execution of a workflow. This link can be added via the placeholder  **`{{ alarmShareLink() }}`**  in an email, a PDF report, an SMS, etc.

To share an alarm through a workflow, navigate to the menu `Sites` and select the site of your choice. On the tab Workflows, click on the `+` button on to create a new workflow.
