How Zapier works
Zapier makes it easy to integrate Firebase / Firestore with Netlify - no code necessary. See how you can get setup in minutes.
Choose a trigger
A trigger is the event that starts your Zap—like a "New Child Object in a Firebase Realtime Database" from Firebase / Firestore.
Add your action
An action happens after the trigger—such as "Start Deploy" in Netlify.

Frequently Asked Questions about Firebase / Firestore + Netlify integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Firebase / Firestore and Netlify
How do I integrate Firebase with Netlify?
To integrate Firebase with Netlify, configure your Firebase project and set up your Firestore database. Then, use Netlify's build and deploy settings to connect with your Firebase project's source code. Ensure API keys are securely stored using Netlify environment variables.
Can I use Firestore triggers with Netlify functions?
Yes, you can use Firestore triggers with Netlify functions. After setting up your Firestore, create server-side functions in Netlify that respond to Firestore database events such as data creation, deletion, or updates.
How do I handle authentication when integrating Firebase with a site hosted on Netlify?
For authentication, utilize Firebase Authentication coupled with client-side code hosted on Netlify. Configure the authentication rules in Firebase and ensure the integration supports the authentication state in real-time using Firestore listeners.
Is it possible to secure API keys when using them on a site hosted by Netlify?
Absolutely, you should store API keys as environment variables within the Netlify settings. This keeps them out of the frontend codebase and protects against unauthorized access.
What steps should I take if changes in my Firestore database need to update my static site on Netlify?
To automate updates from Firestore changes to your static site on Netlify, implement a webhook or scheduled function that rebuilds and redeploys the site when changes are detected in the database. Keep triggers optimized for minimal requests.
Can we use incremental builds on Netlify with data from Firestore?
Yes, integrating incremental builds is possible by utilizing specific webhooks or functions that detect changes in your Firestore data and trigger only necessary updates to your static files or content endpoints without a full rebuild.
How can real-time data be displayed on a website hosted by Netlify using Firestore?
Real-time data can be displayed by implementing client-side listeners provided by Firestore. These listeners automatically update HTML elements when there are underlying changes in the database while leveraging serverless functions for complex processing tasks.
