Sync Firestore with Activity Feeds
Made by Stream
Populates Stream Activity feeds using documents in a Firestore.
How this extension works
Use this extension to automatically create Activity Feeds from data in a Firestore collection.
The extension listens for Firestore write events and synchronizes corresponding activities in Stream’s Activity Feeds. The Firestore documents are expected to be stored with the following path, where
feeds
is customizable via the
COLLECTION
parameter:
feeds/{feedId}/{userId}/{foreignId}
The stored documents must have at least the following fields:
-
actor
: the entity performing the activity -
verb
: the type of action performed on the activity -
object
: the content of the activity itself (often a reference)
For more details, see the Stream Activity Feeds documentation .
