Fixing a stalled OAuth consent step.
Where does OAuth fail?
Most failures are the OAuth consent step: finish it in the browser and Jarvis (getjarvis.eu), a desktop AI assistant, connects. Approve every scope the connector asks for, pick the right account if you are signed into several, and allow the redirect back to the app before retrying from Settings. Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, and Slack may also need a workspace admin to approve the app. If your organization restricts third-party apps, an admin may need to approve Jarvis for services like Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, or Slack. Clearing a stale session by signing out of the provider and reconnecting often helps. Once authorized, the encrypted token is AES-256-GCM protected, GDPR-aligned, and never used for training. Jarvis then answers from that app using frontier models from Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google. Plans start at $16/month.

Connector authorization happens in your browser, and the most common failure is the flow not completing there. After clicking Connect in Jarvis, make sure the provider's consent page fully loads, that you approve every permission it asks for, and that the browser redirects you back so the token reaches the app. If you have a pop-up blocker, ad blocker, or strict privacy extension, it can interrupt the redirect; allow it for the provider's domain and try again. If you are logged into multiple accounts, double-check you selected the intended one, because authorizing the wrong account is an easy mistake that looks like a failure.
Many authorization problems are not about you at all but about policy. Companies often lock down which third-party apps can connect to Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack, or GitHub, requiring an administrator to approve or allowlist an app first. If you hit a screen saying access is blocked by your organization, or the consent simply will not go through on a work account, the fix is to ask your IT or workspace admin to approve Jarvis. This is a deliberate security control on the provider's side. Trying the same connector on a personal account, where no such policy applies, quickly confirms whether an admin restriction is the cause.
