# Links

The Links ressource is related to the approval workflow. It allows you to create approval URLs that will help you manage the request submitted by your end-users.

By default, a confirmation email will be sent to your end-user when you create a Request with a status set to `unverified`. This email contains a Links that will update the request status to `verified` once it is clicked by the end-user. Note that a new Links will be sent if the `lifetime` has expired and a new link will be sent by email. However, you can create your own Links to perform status update behind the scene.

## Create a Link

To create a Link, you can send a POST request on `https://api.didomi.io/dsar/links`.

Currently, we only support status update and you need to set `action` to `request.update`.

The link lifetime is set to `900` seconds (15 min) by default. You can specify the property `lifetime` to change it.

You need to specify the property `redirect_url` to redirect your end-user somewhere, on a specific page of your website for instance.

The property `event` at last should include the new `status` to apply to the request and the `request_id`.

```json
POST https://api.didomi.io/dsar/links?organization_id={{organization_id}}

{
    "action": "request.update",
    "event": {
      "status": "verified",
      "request_id": "String"
    },
    "redirect_url": "String",
    "lifetime": 900
}
```
