OAuth and Connection Setup Behavior
Understand how OAuth-based connection setup works when using Meshes embed.
Some connection flows require an OAuth-based setup path.
Current behavior
For OAuth-backed connection setup, the user is routed through a Meshes-hosted authorization flow rather than completing the entire provider flow inside the iframe.
What hosts should expect
- the embedded UI can start the connection flow
- the user may be redirected to a Meshes-hosted page for provider authorization
- after the provider flow completes, the connection is available in the embedded workspace
Practical guidance
- allow for a redirect or new tab in your product UX
- do not assume every OAuth step stays inside the iframe
- treat OAuth connection setup as a supported part of the embedded connections experience
