New file in Google Drive, a signed deal in your CRM, a form submission – HelpRange can upload the file, create a tracked link with exactly the protection you need and send it on. And when someone opens it, your Zap starts.
Google Drive, Dropbox, Gmail attachments, your CRM – send the file or its link to HelpRange.
Passcode, expiry date, views limit, watermark, e-mail gate, download on/off, no forwarding – per link.
“When a prospect opens the offer” → update the deal, notify sales in Slack, start a follow-up.
Files arriving through file requests or data rooms start a Zap: save to Drive, create a task.
The API key acts as you: only your folders and documents, nothing can be deleted.
Plain HTTPS + JSON – works with “Webhooks by Zapier”, Make HTTP modules, n8n or curl.
Authentication. Your API key from Settings → Profile → API key, sent as the header X-API-Key (or Authorization: Api-Key <key>). OAuth access tokens work too.

POST https://www.helprange.com/api/v2/files/{id}/links
Create a share link. JSON: label, allow_download, passcode, expires_on (YYYY-MM-DD), views_limit, watermark, require_email, disallow_forwarding, one_viewer_at_a_time. Returns the URL.
