How to connect Google Cloud Firestore and Google Cloud Storage
Create a New Scenario to Connect Google Cloud Firestore and Google Cloud Storage
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 Google Cloud Storage will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Google Cloud Firestore or Google Cloud Storage, 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 Google Cloud Storage Node
Next, click the plus (+) icon on the Google Cloud Firestore node, select Google Cloud Storage from the list of available apps, and choose the action you need from the list of nodes within Google Cloud Storage.

Authenticate Google Cloud Storage
Now, click the Google Cloud Storage node and select the connection option. This can be an OAuth2 connection or an API key, which you can obtain in your Google Cloud Storage settings. Authentication allows you to use Google Cloud Storage through Latenode.
Configure the Google Cloud Firestore and Google Cloud Storage 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 Google Cloud Storage 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, Google Cloud Storage, 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 Google Cloud Storage integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google Cloud Firestore and Google Cloud Storage (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 Google Cloud Storage
Google Cloud Firestore + Google Cloud Storage + Google Sheets: When a document is updated in Firestore, back it up to Google Cloud Storage. Then, update a Google Sheet with the details of the backup, including the timestamp and file location.
Google Cloud Storage + Google Cloud Firestore + Slack: When a new file is uploaded to Google Cloud Storage, update a Firestore document with the file metadata. Then, send a message to a Slack channel notifying users about the new file and its Firestore record.
