I am building a flow for following scenario
Note: Can not use "Create sharing link for a file or folder" because only the external user whom we have given access should be able to upload files. Also can not use "Grant access to an item or a folder" action because the notification goes to spam.
Hey @Anonymous
I had to do something similar for a booking system result folder for my department.
Using the function "send a http request" I got it (flow) to create a folder (standard trigger, not http), break inheritance, remove all previous access (had to remove visitor access), re-add members group and then add specific users to have read access.
I used these links for inspiration/help:

I used a variable to store the location of the folder, which could then be included into the mail to the booker.
Hi @LouiseBach
In action "get employee id" you are getting the user id from site users. But since my user is an external user I can not get their id using this action. So my question is that where can I get this 'principalid' for external users?
maybe the "get user profile" action can be used?
