    As I tested, I shared a dashboard within a group to an external user. He can see the shared dashboard properly via email link.

     

    In your scenario, you can just directly share your dashboard or content pack to external user email account.

     

    Only your direct recipients can see the shared dashboard, any user sign up with other email account can't access this shared dashboard even they have the link. This should be the reason why you share a dashboard to a external user, but you can't access it via email link by yourself.

     

    Another important thing is the liscensing requirement for sharing. If your dashboard contains Pro content, your recipients should also need Pro liscense to view the data. For more details, see: Share a dashboard with colleagues and others.
