Add Office 365 Outlook

Workflow

  1. 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 β€” 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 β†’ + New connection β†’ search for the connector β†’ Create.

npx power-apps add-data-source -a 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):

Calendar Operations

Method Purpose Key Parameters
GetEventsCalendarViewV2 Get events in a date range calendarId, startDateTimeOffset, endDateTimeOffset
V3CalendarPostItem Create a calendar event table (calendar ID), item (CalendarEventHtmlClient)
CalendarDeleteItem Delete an event table (calendar ID), id (event ID)
CalendarPatchItem Update an event table, id, item
V2CalendarGetTables List available calendars (none)

Email Operations

Method Purpose Key Parameters
SendEmailV2 Send an email emailMessage (body, to, subject, etc.)
GetEmails Get inbox emails folderPath, fetchOnlyUnread, top
GetEmail Get single email messageId
MarkAsRead Mark email as read messageId
ReplyToV3 Reply to an email messageId, body
Flag / Unflag Flag/unflag email messageId

Contact Operations

Method Purpose
GetContactFolders List contact folders
ContactGetTables List contact tables

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.
