How to connect Mailhook and Google Cloud Firestore
Create a New Scenario to Connect Mailhook and Google Cloud Firestore
In the workspace, click the βCreate New Scenarioβ button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node β a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Mailhook, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Mailhook or Google Cloud Firestore will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Mailhook or Google Cloud Firestore, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the Mailhook Node

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Mailhook, Google Cloud Firestore, and any additional nodes, donβt 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 βRun onceβ and triggering an event to check if the Mailhook and Google Cloud Firestore integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Mailhook 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 Mailhook and Google Cloud Firestore
Mailhook + Google Cloud Firestore + Slack: When a new email is received via Mailhook, the email data is saved as a new document in Google Cloud Firestore. Subsequently, a message is sent to a designated Slack channel to notify the team about the new lead.
Google Cloud Firestore + Mailhook + Twilio: When a document is updated in Google Cloud Firestore (likely triggered by incoming email data via a prior Mailhook automation), a Twilio SMS message is sent. This allows for real-time notifications based on email updates processed and stored in Firestore.
