Is there a method to create a file request link via API?  We have a scenario where we'd like an application to be able to call the API to create a folder when a new customer is added to it, and then create a file request URI for that folder, which the customer is automatically given to upload files we need from them.

Hi @colohost,

 

We currently don't have a file request link API available within Platform. With that said, this is in active development, so it is something that we are working towards in the future.

Hi Jon,

We have a similar requirement where when users create an Application, then a new folder gets created and the file request needs to be enabled for them to upload files and submit the application. Is there any API that we can use this functionality?

Thanks,

Nikitha

Hey All, has this feature been added to the API?  We have an automation that needs to create a unique file request.
