Scenario Executions
Possible usage steps within this page
Successful Google Sign-In
This is the intended and most common scenario, where you successfully log in using your Google account.
- You navigate to the "Sign In with Google" page (e.g., by clicking a "Sign in with Google" button on the main login screen).
- The page immediately shows "Redirecting to Google..." with a loading indicator.
- Your browser or app will then take you to Google's secure sign-in page.
- On the Google page, you will be prompted to select your Google account or enter your credentials.
- After successfully authenticating with Google, you will be automatically redirected back to our application.
- Upon returning, you will be logged in and taken to the application's main dashboard or home screen.
Possible errors which may occur on this page
Sign-In Initiation Failed
This error occurs if the application cannot even begin the process of sending you to Google for sign-in.
- How it happens: This might be due to a temporary network problem, an incorrect application setting, or a technical issue preventing the app from launching the Google sign-in flow.
- What you see: The loading screen will disappear, and you will see an error icon, the message "Sign in with Google failed. Please try again.", and a "Back to Login" button.
- What to do: The page will automatically redirect you to the main login screen after a few seconds. You can also click the "Back to Login" button immediately to return and try signing in again, perhaps using a different method if the issue persists.
Unexpected Technical Problem During Sign-In
This error occurs if an unforeseen technical issue arises while the application is communicating with Google or our backend services during the sign-in process.
- How it happens: This could be due to a temporary glitch with Google's authentication service, an issue on our application's server-side handling of the sign-in, or another unexpected software problem.
- What you see: Similar to the initiation failure, you will see an error icon, the message "Sign in with Google failed. Please try again.", and a "Back to Login" button.
- What to do: The page will automatically redirect you to the main login screen after a few seconds. You can also click the "Back to Login" button. It is recommended to wait a moment and try again, or contact support if the problem continues.
