. Integration of Cloud Firestore and Sendinblue

In this section, we will provide an overview of how Cloud Firestore integrates with Sendinblue in order to send emails as soon as a new contact is added into the CRM or database.

After integrating Cloud Firestore and Sendinblue, each time a new contact is added in to the CRM or database, Sendinblue will be notified about it immediately via an HTTP request. That way, Sendinblue can create the email template using the latest contact information of that new contact. The fplowing steps will guide you to integrate Cloud Firestore and Sendinblue together in order to make this happen:

Step 1. Create a new app on the dashboard of your Cloud Firestore project.

Step 2. Select the name for your app and click on “Create” button on the right side.

Step 3. Once the new app has been created, select “Database” from the left side menu.

Step 4. Under Data Rules tab on the right side menu, click on "Add Rule" button.

Step 6. Set up Cloud Functions to listen for changes to your database.

Now that Cloud Functions have been enabled to listen for changes to your database, we need to make sure that Sendinblue can send HTTP requests to Cloud Functions whenever a new contact is added into the CRM or database. To make this happen, we need to modify our existing API on Sendinblue in order to support this action by adding an additional HTTP header parameter “x-functions-id” to our request. You can find all the details about HTTP request parameters here.

Step 7. Create a new API in Sendinblue (this API should be used for saving new contacts into the CRM or database.

Step 8. Copy the URL that appears after you click on “Test API” button from Step 7 above.

Step 9. Go back to Cloud Functions on Google Developers Conspe by clicking on “Functions” menu from left side menu on Google Developers Conspe.

Step 10. Click on “Triggers” tab on the right side menu below the whiteboard icon in order to add a trigger to your function.

Step 11. Change “Trigger type” option from “Ppling” to “Actions” then select “HTTP” from "Trigger type".
