**📋 Shared Instructions: [shared-instructions.md](${PLUGIN_ROOT}/shared/shared-instructions.md)** - Cross-cutting concerns.
1. Check Memory Bank -> 2. Add Connector -> 3. Review Generated Service -> 4. Configure -> 5. Build -> 6. Update Memory Bank
---
Check for `memory-bank.md` per [shared-instructions.md](${PLUGIN_ROOT}/shared/shared-instructions.md).
**First, find the connection ID** (see [connector-reference.md](${PLUGIN_ROOT}/shared/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>
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):
| 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) |
| 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` |
| Method | Purpose | | ------------------- | -------------------- | | `GetContactFolders` | List contact folders | | `ContactGetTables` | List contact tables |
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);
}npm run build
