Lovable/Supabase integration (Oauth issue)
Hello everyone,
I created a project that needs to authenticate with social media platforms. I built these in Supabase and have them enabled, but I am not seeing an option to have them toggled on in lovable.
Here is the message I get from Lovable:
The LinkedIn OAuth provider needs to be enabled in your backend settings. You'll need to configure it with your LinkedIn app credentials.
Steps to fix this:
Click the "Open Backend Settings" button above
Navigate to Authentication → Providers section
Find LinkedIn (OIDC) and enable it
Add your LinkedIn OAuth app credentials:
Client ID
Client Secret
Authorized redirect URL (will be shown in the settings)
-> This seems straightforward enough, but my backend does not have a providers button.
Anyone else encounter this issue and found a solution?

That looks like Lovable clouds more limited dashboard they provide for their instances.  You probably need to see if their discord has any help on that.  Nothing under advanced?
The Supabase hosted dashboards do have an authentication section with providers, but Lovable cloud instance don't have that I believe.  Seems odd though they would limit you to just Google.
Looks like lovable only provides Google for Auth with their Cloud DB (backed by Supabase).

Finally heard from Lovable - I am on cloud, supported by Supabase. But in order to use my Supabase Auth - I need to make my backend directly in Supabase.
Thanks for the responses and help
