What is a grant and which account does it represent?

A grant is the record Nylas creates for the connected account and its authorization. Keep the mapping from your app’s customer to the right grant. Decide whether the app only reads a calendar or also creates events, and request only the permissions that feature needs.

What do you need to price and preserve?

Nylas describes connected mailboxes or calendars as a pricing unit, with included and additional accounts depending on plan. Verify the provider and product before choosing. Keep your app’s own connection mapping and event references. Plan how to explain loss of access and when a customer needs to authorize again.

Could a fictional availability view run with read access only?

Draw a fictional app that shows open meeting times from two test calendars.

  1. Separate reading from writing
    Mark what it needs to read and leave invitation creation outside this scenario.
  2. Choose the right grant
    Connect each fictional user to their own calendar and draw what the screen shows after disconnection.
