How to connect Creatomate and Google Cloud Firestore
Create a New Scenario to Connect Creatomate and Google Cloud Firestore
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Creatomate, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Creatomate or Google Cloud Firestore will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Creatomate or Google Cloud Firestore, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the Creatomate Node
Select the Creatomate node from the app selection panel on the right.

Configure the Creatomate
Click on the Creatomate node to configure it. You can modify the Creatomate URL and choose between DEV and PROD versions. You can also copy it for use in further automations.
Add the Google Cloud Firestore Node
Next, click the plus (+) icon on the Creatomate node, select Google Cloud Firestore from the list of available apps, and choose the action you need from the list of nodes within Google Cloud Firestore.

Set Up the Creatomate and Google Cloud Firestore Integration
Use various Latenode nodes to transform data and enhance your integration:
- Branching: Create multiple branches within the scenario to handle complex logic.
- Merging: Combine different node branches into one, passing data through it.
- Plug n Play Nodes: Use nodes that don’t require account credentials.
- Ask AI: Use the GPT-powered option to add AI capabilities to any node.
- Wait: Set waiting times, either for intervals or until specific dates.
- Sub-scenarios (Nodules): Create sub-scenarios that are encapsulated in a single node.
- Iteration: Process arrays of data when needed.
- Code: Write custom code or ask our AI assistant to do it for you.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Creatomate, Google Cloud Firestore, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Creatomate and Google Cloud Firestore integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Creatomate and Google Cloud Firestore (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Creatomate and Google Cloud Firestore
Creatomate + Google Cloud Firestore + Airtable: When a new render is completed in Creatomate, the video asset information is stored in Google Cloud Firestore. Then, a new record is created in Airtable to track the video asset.
Google Cloud Firestore + Creatomate + Slack: When a document is created in Google Cloud Firestore, a video is rendered in Creatomate using the data from the document. Once the video is rendered, a message is sent to a Slack channel notifying users of the new video.
