Add Office 365 Outlook

Workflow

• Check Memory Bank -> 2. Add Connector -> 3. Review Generated Service -> 4. Configure -> 5. Build -> 6. Update Memory Bank

Step 1: Check Memory Bank

Check for memory-bank.md per shared-instructions.md.

Step 2: Add Connector

First, find the connection ID (see connector-reference.md):

Run the /list-connections skill. Find the Office 365 Outlook connection in the output (API name contains office365). If none exists, direct the user to create one using the environment-specific Connections URL — construct it from the active environment ID in context (from power.config.json or a prior step): https://make.powerapps.com/environments/<environment-id>/connections → + New connection → search for the connector → Create.

pa app add data-source --connector office365 -c <connection-id>

Step 3: Review Generated Service

The generated service file (src/generated/services/Office365OutlookService.ts) is large. Use Grep to find specific methods instead of reading the entire file:

Grep pattern="async \w+" path="src/generated/services/Office365OutlookService.ts"

Key methods (sorted by common usage):

| CalendarDeleteItem | Delete an event | table (calendar ID), id (event ID) |

| CalendarPatchItem | Update an event | table, id, item |

| V2CalendarGetTables | List available calendars | (none) |

Step 4: Configure

Ask the user what Office 365 Outlook operations they need (skip if already specified by caller).

Calendar -- Get events for a date range:

import { Office365OutlookService } from "../generated/services/Office365OutlookService";

const result = await Office365OutlookService.GetEventsCalendarViewV2(
  "Calendar", // calendarId -- "Calendar" for default
  startDate.toISOString(),
  endDate.toISOString()
);
const events = result.data?.value || [];

Calendar -- Create an event:

await Office365OutlookService.V3CalendarPostItem("Calendar", {
  Subject: "Focus Time",
  Start: "2025-06-15T10:00:00", // ISO 8601 format
  End: "2025-06-15T11:00:00",
  ShowAs: "Busy",
  Importance: "Normal",
  IsAllDay: false,
  Body: "<p>Blocked for focus work</p>",
  Reminder: 5
});

Calendar -- Delete an event:

await Office365OutlookService.CalendarDeleteItem("Calendar", eventId);

Email -- Send an email:

await Office365OutlookService.SendEmailV2({
  To: "<recipient-address>",
  Subject: "Subject line",
  Body: "<p>HTML email body</p>",
  Importance: "Normal"
});

Key types:

| Type | Purpose |

| ---------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

| CalendarEventClientReceiveStringEnums | Read model -- has Subject, Start, End, Id, ShowAs, IsAllDay, Organizer |

| CalendarEventHtmlClient | Write model -- requires Subject, Start, End; optional Body, ShowAs, Importance, Reminder |

| EntityListResponse_CalendarEventClientReceiveStringEnums | Response wrapper -- access events via .value |

Response pattern:

const result = await Office365OutlookService.GetEventsCalendarViewV2(...);
if (result.success) {
  const events = result.data?.value || [];
} else {
  console.error("Failed:", result.error);
}

Step 5: Build

npm run build

Fix TypeScript errors before proceeding. Do NOT deploy yet.

Step 6: Update Memory Bank

Update memory-bank.md with: connector added, configured operations, build status.
