## Summary
Exposes two Twenty primitives to the AI chat that it could not
previously manage:
- **Navigation menu items** — workspace nav and personal favorites
(favorites are just nav items with `scope: 'user'`).
- **Webhooks** — full CRUD with a structured operations input (record +
metadata events).
Page layouts and workflow runs were originally in this PR but have been
split out — they touch heavier surfaces (21 widget configurations and
the workflow runner cycle, respectively) and deserve their own focused
PRs.
### Tool inventory (8 new tools across 2 providers)
| Provider | Tools |
|---|---|
| NavigationMenuItem | `list_`, `create_`, `update_`,
`delete_navigation_menu_item` |
| Webhook | `list_`, `create_`, `update_`, `delete_webhook` |
### Design notes
- Both providers follow the established **view-style pattern**: tool
workspace service lives in the entity module's `tools/` folder, is
provided + exported by the entity module, and `ToolProviderModule`
imports the entity module. No `@Global()` modules or injection tokens
introduced.
- `create_navigation_menu_item` uses a Zod `discriminatedUnion` on
`type` (`FOLDER` / `LINK` / `OBJECT` / `VIEW` / `RECORD` /
`PAGE_LAYOUT`). `scope: 'workspace' | 'user'` switches between shared
nav and personal favorites — the underlying
`NavigationMenuItemAccessService` enforces LAYOUTS for workspace writes.
- Webhook operations accept both record events (`{kind:'record', object,
event}` → `<object>.<event>`) and metadata events (`{kind:'metadata',
metadataName, operation}` → `metadata.<metadataName>.<operation>`).
- Permissions reuse existing flags (`LAYOUTS`, `API_KEYS_AND_WEBHOOKS`).
No new permission flags, no migrations.
### Category cleanup
- New: `ToolCategory.NAVIGATION_MENU_ITEM`, `ToolCategory.WEBHOOK`.
- `ToolCategory.VIEW_FIELD` → folded into `VIEW`. Same permission gate,
same domain — separate category was organizational drift.
- `navigate_app` action stays in `ToolCategory.ACTION` where it belongs.
### System prompt addition
[chat-system-prompts.const.ts](packages/twenty-server/src/engine/metadata-modules/ai/ai-chat/constants/chat-system-prompts.const.ts)
now teaches the AI:
- Favorites are nav items with `scope: 'user'`.
- A default OBJECT nav item is auto-created with
`create_object_metadata` — don't double-create.
### One file = one export
Every new schema / type / util file has exactly one top-level export.
## Test plan
- [ ] `npx nx typecheck twenty-server` — passes
- [ ] Spin up locally and exercise via AI chat:
- [ ] "Pin the Companies view to my favorites in a folder called
Important." → `create_navigation_menu_item` (FOLDER, user) then (VIEW,
user, folderId)
- [ ] "Register a webhook to https://example.com firing when any person
is created or updated." → `create_webhook` with discriminated operations
- [ ] Verify workspace-scoped nav writes are denied for a user without
LAYOUTS permission
- [ ] Verify user-scoped nav writes work without LAYOUTS permission
## Follow-ups (separate PRs)
- Page layout tools (record-page, record-index, standalone) — needs
widget-config strategy.
- Workflow run tools (list, get, run, stop) — uses the workflow-runner
cycle path.
- Dashboard / page-layout tool unification —
`DashboardToolWorkspaceService` and a future
`PageLayoutToolWorkspaceService` both inject the same trio
(PageLayout/Tab/Widget services).
- Webhook Settings page reads from raw Apollo query — switch to the
metadata store so it refreshes when the AI mutates webhooks.

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.
