A share link does not open for the patient

Why a share link might 404 or refuse to render, and what to do about it.

2 min readUpdated 2026-09-14

Share links return a 404 for one of three reasons: the link has been revoked, the link has expired, or the URL was copied incorrectly.

  1. 1Open the Share tab on the patient chart.
  2. 2Look at the link’s status. Revoked and expired links are clearly marked.
  3. 3If the link is still active, ask the patient to copy the entire URL again — including the trailing secret after the dot.

Most “broken” share links are missing the secret part of the URL. The format is /p/{tokenId}.{secret} — the dot and everything after it must be included.
