How to connect Google Groups and Google Cloud Firestore
Create a New Scenario to Connect Google Groups and Google Cloud Firestore
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 Groups, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Google Groups or Google Cloud Firestore will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Google Groups or Google Cloud Firestore, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

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

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Google Groups, Google Cloud Firestore, 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 Groups and Google Cloud Firestore integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google Groups and Google Cloud Firestore (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Google Groups and Google Cloud Firestore
Google Groups + Google Cloud Firestore + Slack: When a new message is posted to a Google Group, the content is saved to a Firestore document. If certain keywords are detected (e.g., 'urgent', 'critical'), a Slack notification is sent to a designated admin channel.
Google Cloud Firestore + Google Groups + Gmail: When a new document is created in Firestore, a new email thread is sent to the Google Group. Furthermore, a summary of recent Firestore document creations is periodically sent to group members via Gmail.
