This is a service worker which can create "random" events for every member of an organization utilizing the Microsoft Graph API.
Basically simulating activity within an organization.
The service worker will run every X minutes to create events:
- Events are based on event templates eventTemplates.json
- A random date and time within the lookahead is applied to each of these events
- A random amount of users within the organization is chosen
- A random amount of events is created for them
- .NET v7.0
- Azure subscription with admin privileges for the target tenant
- Add a new app registration to your target tenant
- Create a certificate on your local machine and upload it for the authentication with azure
e.g. follow the first half of this guide - Add the following app permissions on azure: "User.Read.All" and "Calendars.ReadWrite"
- Add your tenant id, client id and certificate thumbprint to the appsettings file
- In that file you can also adjust the "settings" section to your liking
- (Optional) Adjust event templates:

- If it states "Failed" for the creation of an event, then that means that it could not find a timeslot within the specified restrictions.
- Try to avoid adding many reccuring events (especially daily ones) as it will fill the calender boringly.
- Adding attendees to an event is currently not implemented. I was not able to test this feature, as i was using the azure testversion, where sending mails via the graph API is not allowed.
