# Share request action

Use the Share request action to share a request from a Workflow app with a user or user group. This allows you to share a request with additional participants, watchers, and more. The users with whom you share the task are able to view the request details and participate in the request by leaving comments, but aren't able to see active tasks.

# Input

Workflow app Choose the Workflow app to share the request from.
Record ID Choose a request to share with one or more additional participants. You can map in a datapill or enter the exact ID of a request.
Share to Specify the user group or individual user to share the request with. You can select a user group from the list, provide a user group ID, or enter a user's email address. You can share a request with a maximum of 20 users or user groups.

# Output
