# Create Conversation URL Action

This action will generate a share URL for the current conversation. The share will be valid for the specified amount of time and may allow take over of the conversation.

### Settings

The action uses the following settings:

| Setting                      | Description                                                                                           | [Parsed](/actions-and-operations/dynamic-parsing.md) |
| ---------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| Validity                     | The number of hours the URL will be valid                                                             | :white\_check\_mark:                                 |
| Generate New Share Id        | If enabled, each time the action is executed a new unique id will be created for the shared url.      | :no\_entry:                                          |
| Take Over Conversation       | If enabled, conversation will be taken over as soon as the link is accessed                           | :no\_entry:                                          |
| Auto Hand-Over on expiration | If enabled, the conversation will be automatically handed over to MyLINK Connect when the URL expires | :no\_entry:                                          |

### Remarks

The generated conversation URL allows anyone to view and (if required) take over the conversation. Using this action creates the same result as the conversation section [contacts command](/conversations/take-over.md#share).

Every time the action is invoked during flow execution, a new, unique share id will be generated by default. Uncheck the *Generate New Share Id* option to keep reusing the same id for all the conversation duration.

{% hint style="info" %}
Using shared conversations view requires the [Pro Team Package](/basic-concepts/chatbot-details/chatbot-teams.md) license package. Additionally, your bot must also be published on the Web Channel to fully work with shared views, even on other channels.
