Business Owner
Update Cloud Firestore with new Google Calendar events
When a new event is created in Google Calendar, Zapier can update or create a record in Firebase Cloud Firestore. This helps IT teams monitor project-related meetings or system maintenance schedules, ensuring data accuracy and quick reference for all scheduled activities.
ITTrack project updates in a shared calendar
When a new record is added to a Firebase Cloud Firestore collection tracking project updates, automatically create a corresponding event in Google Calendar. This ensures the project team is up-to-date and aligned through a shared schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions about Firebase / Firestore + Google Calendar 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 Google Calendar
What is Firebase / Firestore and how can it be used with Google Calendar?
Firebase / Firestore is a real-time database provided by Google that allows you to store and synchronize data for your apps. You can use it to trigger events in Google Calendar, such as creating or updating events based on changes in your Firestore database.
What are the necessary steps to integrate Firebase with Google Calendar?
To integrate Firebase with Google Calendar, you’ll need to set up Firebase Cloud Functions to listen for database triggers like data creation, updates, or deletions in Firestore. These functions can then interact with the Google Calendar API to create, update, or delete calendar events.
Can we automatically add an event to Google Calendar when a new document is added in Firestore?
Yes, by using Firebase Cloud Functions, you can set up a function that triggers whenever a new document is added to your Firestore collection. This function can be configured to call the Google Calendar API and add a new event automatically.
How do we handle authentication between Firebase and Google Calendar?
Authentication is handled through service accounts and OAuth 2.0 configuration. You'll need to create a service account in the Google Cloud Console and set up credentials that allow Firebase functions to access the Google Calendar API securely.
What happens if there's an error while syncing data between Firebase and Google Calendar?
Error handling should be implemented within your Cloud Functions. You can use try-catch blocks and logging features of Firebase to monitor errors in real-time and send alerts if a synchronization fails so corrective actions can be taken promptly.
Is it possible for us to update a calendar event when an existing record in Firestore changes?
Yes, this is possible by setting up Cloud Functions that trigger on updates made within your Firestore documents. The function will detect changes and then call the Google Calendar API to update the corresponding event details.
Can we remove an event from Google Calendar when a document is deleted from our Firestore database?
Indeed, when a document deletion occurs in your Firestore collection, you can have Cloud Functions triggered automatically. These functions will then make calls using the API to remove or modify events within your linked Google Calendars accordingly.
