Connect Drupal and Firebase / Firestore to unlock the power of automation

To connect Drupal with Firebase, you need to set up Firebase in your Google Cloud account and get configuration details like API key, project ID, etc. Next, install the necessary Drupal modules or custom scripts that allow communicating with Firebase. Our platform facilitates seamless integration by leveraging triggers such as 'New node created' or 'Node updated', and actions such as 'Create document in Firestore' or 'Update document'. Ensure both systems are authenticated and authorized to talk to each other.

With our integration, you have various triggers and actions to synchronize data. For instance, when new content is added in Drupal ('New node created'), a corresponding document can be automatically created in Firestore ('Create document'). Similarly, updates or deletions on either platform can trigger corresponding actions. This ensures that both systems maintain consistency without manual intervention.

Yes, ensure that your Drupal site supports RESTful web services for API communication. You will need the Firebase SDK installed on your server if you're performing direct interactions from back-end scripts. Our integration handles direct communication via secure APIs using predefined triggers like 'User authenticated' or 'Data modified', ensuring reliability without deep technical customization.

Automatic actions allow real-time data syncing where certain events (triggers) in your Drupal site initiate predefined tasks in Firestore. For example, a 'Content published' trigger can fire an action such as 'Add entry to Firestore'. This automated process removes the need for manual handling of data uploads or changes between platforms.

Yes, our system allows you to customize which specific events or conditions in Drupal trigger corresponding actions in Firestore. Whether it's a user registration event triggering an addition of user data into Firestore or any custom trigger-action pair you define via our platform’s capabilities - these could all be configured based on needs.

Security is paramount; hence our integrations use OAuth protocols for authentication between platforms ensuring secure data transfer. Triggers like 'Data accessed' employ robust logging for audits while actions adhere strictly to access control permissions defined within both Drupal and Firebase environments.

In case of synchronization issues between Drupal and Firestore, we have built-in error-handling mechanisms where errors invoke specific alerts detailing the nature of failures (e.g., connectivity issues). Our system logs these incidents allowing easy troubleshooting while ensuring retries for transient errors using specified triggers like 'On failure - retry action'.
