Firebase

Use the Firebase connector to build mobile and web applications.

Integrating your application with Firebase lets you use these operations in an automation. It exposes 7 actions, listed below. Add the connector from the Connections area, authenticate, then select its operations in the automation builder. Capabilities: actions.

Authentication

Before you begin, make sure you have the following information:

Connection Name: Choose a meaningful name for your connection. This name helps you identify the connection within your application or integration settings.

Authentication Type: Firebase supports the following authentication methods:

• OAuth

• OAuth with client configuration

• OAuth with service account details

• JWT

1. Credentials for OAuth with Client Credentials (OAUTH_WITH_CLIENT_CONFIG)

Step 1: Find your Firebase Project ID

1. Go to the Firebase Console and open your project.

2. Click the Gear icon (⚙️) next to Project Overview in the left sidebar and select Project settings.

3. Under the General tab, copy the Project ID.

Step 2: Create OAuth 2.0 Credentials

1. Navigate to the Google Cloud Console Credentials Page and select the Google Cloud project associated with your Firebase project.

2. Click + CREATE CREDENTIALS at the top and select OAuth client ID.

3. Choose Web application under Application type.

4. Give your client a name (e.g., UnifyApps Integration).

5. Under Authorized redirect URIs, click ADD URI and paste the Callback URL provided inside the UnifyApps setup form (oAuthUrl).

6. Click CREATE.

7. A dialog box will display your Client ID and Client Secret. Copy both values and paste them into UnifyApps.

2. Credentials for Service Account (JWT)

This flow uses a GCP Service Account private key file to sign requests on behalf of your Firebase project.

Step 1: Generate a Service Account Private Key
