How to connect Google Cloud Firestore and Box
Create a New Scenario to Connect Google Cloud Firestore and Box
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 Google Cloud Firestore, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Google Cloud Firestore or Box will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Google Cloud Firestore or Box, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Google Cloud Firestore, Box, 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 Google Cloud Firestore and Box integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google Cloud Firestore and Box (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Google Cloud Firestore and Box
Google Cloud Firestore + Box + Slack: When a document is created or updated in Google Cloud Firestore, the automation searches for related files in Box based on Firestore data. Upon finding relevant files, a notification is sent to a designated Slack channel, informing users about the new file.
Box + Google Cloud Firestore + Google Sheets: When a new file is added to a specified folder in Box, the file's metadata (name, size, upload date) is recorded as a new document in Google Cloud Firestore. This data is then summarized and added as a new row in a Google Sheet for tracking and analysis.
