firestore Cloud Firestore

ToolJet can connect to Cloud Firestore databases to read and write data.

Connection

  • ToolJet connects to your Cloud Firestore using JSON key of your GCP service account. Get your service account key as JSON from GCP console. For generating a new key, check out Firestore's official documentation.

  • Once you have the key, open it in a text editor and copy the contents. Paste the contents in the Private key field of the Firestore data source modal.

  • Click on the Test Connection button to verify if the key is valid. Click on the Save button to save the data source.

Querying Firestore

Click on the +Add button of the query manager at the bottom panel of the editor and select the database added in the previous step as the data source.
