# 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.

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

On the bottom of the `Create Link` dialog, make a selection for **Expire link after** and click `Submit`.

Your temporary share link has been created and the expiry date is visible just next to the link.

### 2. Share a Site Group with a Temporary Link

Similarly, from your evalink talos dashboard, navigate to the menu `Site Groups`and select the site group you want to share.

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.

On the bottom of the `Create Link` dialog, make a selection for **Expire link after** and click `Submit`.

Your temporary share link has been created and the expiry date is visible just next to the link.

### 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.

Upon selecting the corresponding alarm for this workflow, click on the `+` button next to `Incoming Alarm`.

Select `Automated Actions` and then click on `Send Email`

You can now send an alarm link within your email body by using the following placeholder:

 **`{{ alarmShareLink() }}`**

You can find a concrete example in the following screenshot.
