Add expiration_date and request_user_data to external share link creation in Deluge
Background
I deliver files to my clients via Workdrive external share links.
I deliver files to my clients via Workdrive external share links.
I create the folder, add the files, create the external share link, then add the link to the invoice in Zoho Books.
I am in the process of simplifying this process with the following steps:
1. (COMPLETE) Create the share folder from CRM Deal Detail view via a button, and store the folder link in the associated deal.
I am in the process of simplifying this process with the following steps:

2. (IN PROCESS) Create the external share link for the created Workdrive folder from the CRM Deal Detail View via a button, and store the link in the associated deal.
3. (PENDING #2) Push the share link to Zoho books for the associated invoice.
I have step 1 working fine.
I have Step 2 function pretty darn close using the following github as a reference.

ISSUE:
I need to add the expiration_date, and request user data to the external link creation in Deluge.
I cannot find any reference for these parameters to get them setup.
With the expiration date , I am getting a data type mis-match, and for the request user data, I do not know what the syntax or anything should be.
Can anyone give me a reference or point me in the right direction?
Here is how I have my parameter map that is functional for now with the user data set to false for now, and the input fields and expiration date commented out.

Zoho CRM Functions 53: Automatically name your Deals during lead conversion.
Welcome back everyone! Last week's function was about automatically updating the recent Event date in the Accounts module. This week, it's going to be about automatically giving a custom Deal name whenever a lead is converted. Business scenario Deals are the most important records in CRM. After successful prospecting, the sales cycle is followed by deal creation, follow-up, and its subsequent closure. Being a critical function of your sales cycle, it's good to follow certain best practices. One suchUser Tips: Auto-Create Opportunity/Deal upon Quote Save (PART 1)
Problem: We use quotes which convert to sales orders but Users / Sales Reps do not create opportunities / deals and go straight to creating a quote. This leads to poor reporting.

Scenario: Automatically send the Quote to the related contact. We create Quotes for customers regularly and when we want to send the quote to the customer, we have to send it manually. We can automate this, using Custom Functions.

Please note that the quote will be sent as an inline email content and not as a PDF attachment. Please followFunction #50: Schedule Calls to records
Welcome back everyone! Last week's function was about changing ownership of multiple records concurrently. This week, it's going to be about scheduling calls for records in various modules.

You could say they are akin to engine oil, which is required by the engine to make all of it's components function perfectly. CRMFunction #37: Create a Purchase Order from a Quote
Welcome back everyone! Last week, we learnt how to calculate the total number of activities for a lead and further take note of the activity count for particular dates. For instance, from the period of Demo to Negotiation. This week, let's look at a function that lets you create a Purchase Order instantly from a Quote. Business scenario: In any form of business, one of the most important things to do is to document the transactions. Naturally, negotiation, signing an agreement, placing an order,
