Sharing SharePoint sites and documents with external users in Microsoft Power Automate and Azure…

If you’re working with vendors, clients, or customers outside of your organization, you might want to give them access to certain areas of your site or to specific documents. In this article, we will show you how to do it in SharePoint Online with the help of Plumsail Actions and its SharePoint connector.

Sharing Sites

Let us imagine that we create a new project site and want to provide access to it for our customers.

Plumsail Actions allow us to create a flow that we can run on an item directly in our Document Library:
