# 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](${PLUGIN_ROOT}/shared/shared-instructions.md).

### Step 2: Add Connector

**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.

```bash
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"
```
