## Why Front components (apps) could `navigate()` to a record's **full page**, but there was no way to open a specific record in the **side panel**. More generally, `openSidePanelPage` could navigate to a `SidePanelPages` enum page but couldn't pass the context most pages need. ## What `openSidePanelPage`'s params are now a **discriminated union keyed on `page`**, so each page declares its own typed payload (instead of a flat bag of optionals whose validity silently depends on `page`). This is also safer: pages that can't render without context can't be "opened" into a broken panel. Wired the param-bearing pages host-side, each bridging to its existing internal hook: | `page` | Params | Bridges to | |---|---|---| | `ViewRecord` | `recordId`, `objectNameSingular`, `resetNavigationStack?` | `useOpenRecordInSidePanel` (full-page fallback on mobile / unsupported objects) | | `EditRichText` | `recordId`, `objectNameSingular`, `fieldName?` | `useOpenRichTextInSidePanel` | | `ComposeEmail` | `connectedAccountId`, `threadId?`, `defaultTo?`, `defaultSubject?`, `defaultInReplyTo?`, `pageTitle?`, `pageIcon?` | `useOpenComposeEmailInSidePanel` | | `ViewFrontComponent` | `frontComponentId`, optional `recordId`+`objectNameSingular`, `pageTitle`, `pageIcon?`, `resetNavigationStack?` | `useOpenFrontComponentInSidePanel` | | *(any other page)* | `pageTitle`, `pageIcon?`, `shouldResetSearchState?` | `navigateSidePanel` | `CommandOpenSidePanelPage` now takes the union directly, so headless command-menu items can open any of these. Threaded through `twenty-sdk` → `twenty-front-component-renderer` → host (`useFrontComponentExecutionContext`), with unit tests per page and the mobile/unsupported fallbacks. ## Deliberately deferred: `MergeRecords` `useOpenMergeRecordsPageInSidePanel` takes `objectNameSingular` / `objectRecordIds` at **hook-init** (it calls `useObjectMetadataItem` / `useLazyFindManyRecords` at render), so it can't be driven by runtime app params without refactoring that hook + its current caller. Left out of this PR — better as its own change. ## Worth a second look (reviewers) - **`ViewFrontComponent`** lets an app open a front component by id. Within an app that's clean composition; whether an app should be able to target *another* app's component is a scoping/security question. The render still runs under the app's access token, so cross-app fetches would fail auth — but flagging it explicitly. ## Security note Side-panel record/page views render natively under the **user's** session/Apollo client, not the app's scoped token — RLS/field permissions are enforced as if the user opened it themselves. Same trust model as `navigate(AppPath.RecordShowPage, …)`. ## Follow-up A separate PR will centralize the mobile + `canOpenObjectInSidePanel` guard inside `useOpenRecordInSidePanel` (currently duplicated across callers, missing in others). ## Validation > [!NOTE] > Dependencies wouldn't install in this environment (flaky network during `yarn install`), so lint / typecheck / jest weren't run locally — relying on CI. The diff was reviewed manually for type-consistency, including the discriminated-union narrowing in the host switch. https://claude.ai/code/session_01AAJFXzsCeoj6BeP3ofiTKQ

Why Twenty
Twenty gives technical teams the building blocks for a custom CRM that meets complex business needs and quickly adapts as the business evolves. Twenty is the CRM you build, ship, and version like the rest of your stack.

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.
Everything you need
Twenty gives you the building blocks of a modern CRM (objects, views, workflows, and agents) and lets you extend them as code. Here's a tour of what's in the box.
