How Zapier works
Zapier makes it easy to integrate Firebase / Firestore with PostHog - 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 "Capture Event" in PostHog.
You’re connected!
Zapier seamlessly connects Firebase / Firestore and PostHog, automating your workflow.
Supported triggers and actions
Zapier helps you create workflows that connect your apps to automate repetitive tasks. A trigger is an event that starts a workflow, and an action is an event a Zap performs.

Frequently Asked Questions about Firebase / Firestore + PostHog 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 PostHog
How can I set up a trigger to send data from Firebase/Firestore to PostHog?
To set up a trigger, you can create a Cloud Function in Firebase that listens for changes in Firestore. When a create, update, or delete event occurs on your Firestore database, the function can collect the necessary data and send it to PostHog using their API. This setup allows you to automatically track specific events in PostHog as they happen in your Firebase application.
What kind of actions can be triggered in PostHog from Firebase/Firestore events?
You can trigger various actions such as creating events, updating user profiles, or setting properties based on events captured by Firestore. By utilizing custom Cloud Functions, these actions are configurable within PostHog’s ecosystem via their API.
Is it possible to track user behavior across Firebase and PostHog simultaneously?
Yes, you can track user behavior across both platforms by sending relevant user interaction data from your Firebase app to PostHog. Via Cloud Functions or the SDK integration directly into your app codebase, every critical interaction can be mapped and visualized with enhanced analytics through PostHog’s dashboards.
Can we automate data transfer between Firestore and PostHog?
Absolutely, automating data transfer is feasible using Cloud Functions which respond to Firestore triggers. These functions manage event-driven tasks such as transforming Firestore documents into a format suitable for ingestion into PostHog via its API.
What are some common use cases for integrating Firebase with PostHog?
Common use cases include tracking real-time database changes as analytical events in PostHog, monitoring user engagement and retention metrics across apps that rely on Firestore for backend operations. It's also useful for analyzing funnel performance based on user interactions recorded in both systems.
Are there any limitations when connecting Firestore data with PostHog?
When connecting Firestore with PostHog, consider potential API rate limits and ensure your Cloud Functions handle failures gracefully. Also be mindful of the latency introduced by processing asynchronous functions which might delay event tracking slightly.
Do I need advanced coding skills to integrate Firebase/Firestore with PostHog?
Basic understanding of JavaScript (for writing Google Cloud Functions) and familiarity with REST APIs are sufficient for setting up basic integrations between Firebase/Firestore and PostHog. Advanced analytics features may require deeper technical knowledge especially when customizing data schemas or handling complex trigger functions.
