@polocato Thank you for your attention. I'm sorry that I don't quite understand what you mean. Do you mean to add parameter ’manual-request' or do you want to specify different tenants ? Thank you very much!

[polocato]

Hello, thank you for looking into my request. I'd like to ask for manual-request parameter, from my perspective this is not a missing feature but a some kind of bug/missing core functionality. Without that parameter you can't create a private link between two unrelated companies. Best Regards

@polocato Thank you for your reply, but I have checked the latest API and found that 'manual-request' is not supported and cannot be added for the time being. Once it is supported, we will add it as soon as possible. Thank you very much!
