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

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Google Cloud Firestore, Youform, 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 Youform integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google Cloud Firestore and Youform (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 Youform
Youform + Google Cloud Firestore + Slack: When a new form submission is received in Youform, the submission data is saved as a new document in Google Cloud Firestore. A notification is then sent to a designated Slack channel to alert the team.
Google Cloud Firestore + Youform + Google Sheets: When a document is updated in Google Cloud Firestore, the data is used to pre-populate a new Youform form, and the resulting submission is saved to a Google Sheet.
