The “Try Connection” button is a simple method for testing the connection live without needing to set up and run the entire environment. The flow you are seeing seems correct, this is the guide for setting up the Google Social Connection.
thanks for the quick reply!
the flow that I had is not correct, because it is supposed to ask me for permission from google calendar. but it didnt, instead it brought me directly to the login page.
On the other hand, when i toggle the google drive/ tasks, … it prompted me to give it permissions. this is very strange…
In the meantime let me try the extension you mentioned.
This is the formal documentation on Testing Connections:
It’s also important to clarify the permissions are managed on the IdP side. Once permission is granted (e.g., allowing access to Google Calendar), the IdP stores this decision, and the user won’t be asked for permission again unless the permissions change or are revoked.
