Félix Malfait 0e22ae0521 feat: create calendar events on Google and Microsoft accounts (#22231)
## Context

Twenty can import calendar events and send emails, but cannot create
calendar events. This adds calendar event creation on connected
**Google** and **Microsoft** accounts, mirroring the existing email-send
architecture (`message-outbound-manager`).

## What it adds

The capability is exposed three ways, all backed by the same composer →
driver → persist pipeline:

- **GraphQL mutation** `createCalendarEvent` (metadata API)
- **AI agent tool** `create_calendar_event` (flows to MCP
automatically), gated by a new `CREATE_CALENDAR_EVENT_TOOL` permission
flag
- **Workflow builder node** "Create Calendar Event" in the **Core**
section, with a full settings form (variable interpolation supported)

CalDAV/IMAP is intentionally out of scope for now (different long pole).

## Design notes

- **Reuse over reinvention** — the created event is run through the
existing inbound formatters (`formatGoogleCalendarEvents` /
`formatMicrosoftCalendarEvents`) and persisted immediately via the
existing `CalendarSaveEventsService`, so it appears in Twenty right away
and is reconciled by the next provider sync (dedup on external id).
Persistence is best-effort.
- **OAuth scopes** — Google already requests `calendar.events`
(read+write), so no change there. Microsoft moves `Calendars.Read` →
`Calendars.ReadWrite`; existing Microsoft accounts must re-consent
(surfaced as a clear "reconnect" error via a missing-scope check).
- **Deliberate invitation semantics** — `sendInvitations` is off by
default. When off, the event is created with **no attendees** on either
provider, so creating an event never silently emails external people.
When on, attendees are attached and notified (Google `sendUpdates: all`,
Microsoft's default). This sidesteps Microsoft Graph having no
per-request suppression.
- **Timezone correctness** — Microsoft Graph interprets `dateTime` as
wall-clock in the supplied `timeZone` and ignores the offset, so the
absolute instant is converted to its wall-clock form before sending
(Google honors the offset directly). Both providers end up scheduling
the same instant.
- **Conferencing** — optional Google Meet
(`conferenceData.createRequest`, with a follow-up `events.get` to
resolve the async link) / Microsoft Teams (`isOnlineMeeting`).
- Attendees are a comma-separated string everywhere (tool input, GraphQL
DTO, workflow input), consistent with `send_email` recipients; the
composer parses to its internal list.

## Test plan

- **Unit**: 45 tests covering the composer (validation, all-day
boundaries, offset enforcement, timezone, scope checks, default-account
resolution), both provider drivers, the dispatcher, and the workflow
step-log builder.
- **Integration**: `createCalendarEvent` on the `/metadata` API fails
closed with a structured error for a non-existent account (the
auth/ownership/validation path that doesn't require provider mocking).
- **Manual**: verified the workflow node appears in the Core section,
the settings form renders and round-trips (edit → autosave → reload),
and the live mutation returns a structured failure for a bogus account.

## Open question for reviewers

The metadata mutation `createCalendarEvent` shares a name with the core
schema's auto-generated `createCalendarEvent(data:)` CRUD mutation for
the CalendarEvent object — they live on different endpoints (`/metadata`
vs `/graphql`) so there's no runtime conflict, but it's a potential
point of confusion for API consumers. Happy to rename (e.g.
`createCalendarEventOnConnectedAccount`) if preferred.

## Out of scope / follow-ups

- CalDAV/IMAP support
- Event update/delete and recurrence
- Existing Microsoft accounts need re-consent for the widened scope

Installation

Cloud

The fastest way to get started. Sign up at twenty.com and spin up a workspace in under a minute, with no infrastructure to manage and always up to date.

Build an app

Scaffold a new app with the Twenty CLI:

npx create-twenty-app my-app

Define objects, fields, and views as code:

import { defineObject, FieldType } from 'twenty-sdk/define';

export default defineObject({
  nameSingular: 'deal',
  namePlural: 'deals',
  labelSingular: 'Deal',
  labelPlural: 'Deals',
  fields: [
    { name: 'name', label: 'Name', type: FieldType.TEXT },
    { name: 'amount', label: 'Amount', type: FieldType.CURRENCY },
    { name: 'closeDate', label: 'Close Date', type: FieldType.DATE_TIME },
  ],
});

Then ship it to your workspace:

npx twenty app:publish --private

See the app development guide for objects, views, agents, and logic functions.

Self-hosting

Run Twenty on your own infrastructure with Docker Compose, or contribute locally via the local setup guide.
