Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for creating an instance of an object from within a context of a user interface of a calendar application. The calendar application can automatically detect existing calendars that are associated with a user of a particular organization, and dynamically determine different object types that are associated with calendar items displayed in each of the existing calendars. The different object types can include standard objects and custom objects. The calendar application can then provide a new object creation user interface (UI) element that (when selected) includes a list of the different object types that are displayed in response to selecting the new object creation UI element. When a user selects one of the different object types from the list, the calendar application can create, from within the context of the main user interface of the calendar application, an instance of the object in the cloud computing platform.
