How to connect Google Cloud Firestore and GitLab
Create a New Scenario to Connect Google Cloud Firestore and GitLab
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 GitLab will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Google Cloud Firestore or GitLab, 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.

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

Authenticate GitLab
Now, click the GitLab node and select the connection option. This can be an OAuth2 connection or an API key, which you can obtain in your GitLab settings. Authentication allows you to use GitLab through Latenode.
Configure the Google Cloud Firestore and GitLab 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 GitLab 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, GitLab, 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 GitLab integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google Cloud Firestore and GitLab (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 GitLab
Google Cloud Firestore + GitLab + Slack: When data changes in Google Cloud Firestore, a GitLab issue is created. Subsequently, a Slack message is sent to notify the team about the new issue.
GitLab + Google Cloud Firestore + Jira: When a new commit is made in GitLab, it updates a document in Google Cloud Firestore, which triggers the creation of a new issue in Jira.
