How to connect Google Cloud Firestore and Dropbox
Create a New Scenario to Connect Google Cloud Firestore and Dropbox
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 Dropbox will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Google Cloud Firestore or Dropbox, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the Google Cloud Firestore Node
Select the Google Cloud Firestore node from the app selection panel on the right.

Now, click the Dropbox node and select the connection option. This can be an OAuth2 connection or an API key, which you can obtain in your Dropbox settings. Authentication allows you to use Dropbox through Latenode.
Configure the Google Cloud Firestore and Dropbox Nodes
Next, configure the nodes by filling in the required parameters according to your logic. Fields marked with a red asterisk (*) are mandatory.
Set Up the Google Cloud Firestore and Dropbox 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 Google Cloud Firestore, Dropbox, 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 Dropbox integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google Cloud Firestore and Dropbox (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 Dropbox
Google Cloud Firestore + Dropbox + Google Sheets: This automation monitors changes in a Google Cloud Firestore database. When a document is updated, it creates a backup of the document in a Dropbox folder and logs the change in a Google Sheet.
Dropbox + Google Cloud Firestore + Slack: When a new file is uploaded to a specific Dropbox folder, the automation creates a new document in a Firestore database with metadata about the file. A notification is then sent to a Slack channel to inform the team about the new file.
