Adds Office 365 Outlook connector to a Power Apps code app. Use when accessing calendars, sending emails, reading inbox, or managing Outlook events.
📋 Shared Instructions: shared-instructions.md - Cross-cutting concerns.
Check for memory-bank.md per shared-instructions.md.
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.
