Google Cloud Firestore

With Google Cloud Firestore modules in Make, you can work with documents in your Google Cloud Firestore.

To use the Google Cloud Firestore modules, you must have a Google account and a Firebase project created in your Google Firebase Console. You can create an account at accounts.google.com. See Google's Create a Firebase account documentation for more information regarding how to create a Firebase project.

Refer to the Cloud Firestore API documentation for a list of available endpoints.

Note

Make's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere to Google API Services User Data Policy.

You have successfully established the connection. You can now edit your scenario and add more Google Cloud Firestore modules. If your connection requires reauthorization at any point, follow the connection renewal steps here.

Build Google Cloud Firestore Scenarios

After connecting the app, you can perform the following actions:

  • Watch New Documents (Advanced)

  • Create a Document

  • Get a Document

  • Get Documents

  • List Documents

    Note: Every query requires an index. For the most basic queries, Google Cloud Firestore creates indexes by default. Some queries require you to set up an index manually. Follow the steps below to set up the Index.

    1. Run the Query Documents module with a request that requires creating a new index.

    2. After the module fails, open the output, and copy a link under the error message.

    3. Open the link in your browser. You will be redirected to the Indexes tab in Google Cloud Firestore.

    4. Click Add index.

    5. Run the Query Documents module with the same request again.
