My script generates a shared link to a folder using box API, but how can I send it to a specified email address using box API?  The objective is for the recipient to receive a notification of the shared link via email.

Hello, 

The Box APIs allow you to collaborate users directly, which would send them a notification based on their settings in Box. There is not currently an API that emails a user a shared link. 

Thanks,
