A navigation menu item is an entry in the left sidebar. Use defineNavigationMenuItem() to ship custom sidebar links — typically one per view you ship — or to point at external URLs.

import { defineNavigationMenuItem, NavigationMenuItemType } from 'twenty-sdk/define';
import { EXAMPLE_VIEW_UNIVERSAL_IDENTIFIER } from '../views/example-view';

export default defineNavigationMenuItem({
  universalIdentifier: '9327db91-afa1-41b6-bd9d-2b51a26efb4c',
  name: 'example-navigation-menu-item',
  icon: 'IconList',
  color: 'blue',
  position: 0,
  type: NavigationMenuItemType.VIEW,
  viewUniversalIdentifier: EXAMPLE_VIEW_UNIVERSAL_IDENTIFIER,
});

Common pitfall: creating an object without an associated view + navigation menu item makes that object invisible to users. Unless it’s a technical/internal object, every custom object should have a default view and a sidebar entry pointing at it.
