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

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 Groups 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 Groups, 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 Groups integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google Cloud Firestore and Google Groups (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 Groups
Google Cloud Firestore + Google Groups + Slack: When a new document is created in Google Cloud Firestore, this automation adds the user's email to a specified Google Group. Subsequently, a message is sent to a Slack channel announcing the new addition to the Firestore database.
Google Groups + Google Cloud Firestore + Google Sheets: Upon a new member joining a Google Group, this automation retrieves the member's information and adds it as a new document to a Firestore collection. Additionally, the same member information is added as a new row to a Google Sheet for logging and tracking purposes.
