How Zapier works

Zapier makes it easy to integrate AWS Lambda with Firebase / Firestore - no code necessary. See how you can get setup in minutes.

Select a trigger from AWS Lambda

A trigger is an event that starts your Zap and runs the workflow. For example, with AWS Lambda, a trigger could be "New Function."
A trigger is the event that kicks off your automated workflow.

Setup an action from Firebase / Firestore

An action is what takes place after the automation is triggered. For example, with Firebase / Firestore, the action could be "Create or Replace Firebase Realtime Database Record."
An action is the event that your automated workflow performs when triggered.

That’s it! You just connected AWS Lambda to Firebase / Firestore

With Zapier, it’s never been easier to connect your apps together and automate your most tedious work. Save hours every month.
Triggers and actions are the main components of every automated workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions about AWS Lambda + Firebase / Firestore integrations

New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with AWS Lambda and Firebase / Firestore

How can I trigger an AWS Lambda function using Firestore events?

You can trigger an AWS Lambda function by setting up a Firebase Cloud Function. Firebase allows you to create functions that respond to events in Firestore, such as document creation, updates, or deletions. Once these events occur, your Firebase Cloud Function can make a call to your AWS Lambda function endpoint using HTTP requests.

What are the prerequisites for integrating AWS Lambda with Firestore?

Before integrating AWS Lambda with Firestore, ensure you have an active AWS account with access rights to create and manage Lambda functions. You also need a Firebase project set up for Firestore and basic knowledge of writing and deploying both Firebase Cloud Functions and AWS Lambda Functions.

Can I use Python to write my Firebase Cloud Functions for interacting with AWS Lambda?

Firebase Cloud Functions currently support Node.js as the runtime environment, so you'll need to write your functions in JavaScript (or TypeScript) if you're triggering operations on AWS Lambda from Firestore. If you prefer Python, you'll have to handle the Firebase functionalities using Node.js and then perhaps invoke Python code in your backend services if needed.

Is it possible to send data from Firestore documents directly into an AWS Lambda function?

Yes, you can send data directly from Firestore documents into an AWS Lambda function by extracting the data within a Firebase Cloud Function that's triggered by changes in the document. This function can structure the relevant data accordingly and send it via HTTP request or another interfacing method directly into your desired AWS Lambda function.

What security measures should be considered when connecting Firebase with AWS Lambda?

When connecting Firebase and AWS Lambda, ensure that communications between services are secured using HTTPS endpoints. Authentication tokens or API keys should be used where necessary, and permissions should be locked down based on the principle of least privilege both in Google Cloud and on Amazon's side.

How do I monitor errors when my Firestore triggered event fails to invoke an AWS Lambda?

You can monitor errors by logging outputs within both your Firebase Cloud Function and your corresponding Lambda function. Utilize Console logs in Google Cloud for tracking errors on the Firebase end, while employing Amazon CloudWatch for observing any anomalies on the execution of your functions within AWS.

Can one Firebase project interact with multiple separate AWS accounts through different Lambdas?

Yes, it's possible for a single Firebase project to interact with multiple different AWS accounts by configuring separate functions or endpoints tailored for each respective account's needs. Proper IAM roles must be established independently across all associated accounts.
