Hi, is it possible to sync a Firebase database with Airtable? I want to use Airtable as a way to support additional workflows but also update the original Firebase collections with any changes made in Airtable.
It’s definitely possible from the Airtable end of things - they have a pretty robust and easy to implement API. I’ve no experience with Firebase, so I don’t know how things look on that end.
Once you have a base built, you can view the API for that particular base by going to https://airtable.com/api.
+3If you want to pull Firebase data into Airtable AND update Firebase from Airtable, then you should check out Bracket. You just have to input your Airtable API key and connect it to your Firebase. It handles syncs in just on direction too.
There's also features that you can customize. If you only want to sync certain fields in two directions and make other fields read-only in Airtable, or if you want to write queries to make the data you pull into Airtable very customizable, then that's all possible!
+7We have developed an in-house solution for this. While it is complex, it’s also very doable.
Features include:
- real time two-way data syncs via webhooks and API calls
- choosing which fields can be synced
- handling of “synced tables” allowing multiple Airtable bases to be synced to a single Firebase instance.
If anyone is interested in this, please DM me and I will be happy to discuss tactics or help you implement this in your setup.
