Firebase / Firestore Overview
Firebase is a comprehensive app development platform by Google that provides a variety of tools and services to help developers build high-quality apps. One of its core components is Firestore, a flexible, scalable database for mobile, web, and server development. Firestore allows you to store, sync, and query data for your applications on a global scale.
Use Cases for Identity Verification with Firestore
Integrating ID verification within Firebase / Firestore has various applications, such as:
- Secure User Sign-Up: Verify the identity of new users signing up to ensure authenticity.
- Fraud Prevention: Implement ID checks to prevent fraudulent activities in your app.
- Age Verification:</strong: Verify the age of users, especially for age-restricted applications.
Setting Up IdentityCheck with Firebase via Zapier
Follow these steps to set up IdentityCheck with Firebase using Zapier:
- Create Accounts: Ensure you have active accounts with IdentityCheck, Firebase, and Zapier.
- Connect IdentityCheck to Zapier:
- Log in to your Zapier account.
- Click on ‘Make a Zap’ to start creating a new workflow.
- Search for and select IdentityCheck as your trigger app.
- Choose the appropriate trigger event based on your needs (e.g., new ID verification).
- Connect your IdentityCheck account by entering the required credentials.
- Integrate Firebase:
- Continue setting up your Zap by selecting Firebase as the action app.
- Choose the action event, such as ‘Create Document’ or ‘Update Document’.
- Connect your Firebase account and select the Firestore database you want to work with.
- Map the data from IdentityCheck to Firebase Firestore fields according to your requirements.
- Test and Enable:
- Test the Zap to ensure everything is working correctly.
- If the test is successful, turn on your Zap to enable real-time ID verification with Firestore integration.
How to Use IdentityCheck with Firebase
Once set up, using IdentityCheck with Firebase in your applications is straightforward:
- Initiate ID Checks: When a new user performs an action that requires ID verification, send their details to IdentityCheck via the integrated Zap.
- Verification Process: IdentityCheck will process the ID verification, checking the details against its reliable databases.
- Store Results in Firestore: The verification result is automatically sent to your Firestore database, where it is stored in the appropriate document.
- Implement ID-Verified Actions: Based on the verification results stored in Firestore, your application can allow or restrict certain actions for users.
Integrating IdentityCheck with Firebase using Zapier streamlines the ID verification process, enhances security, and ensures a smooth, automated workflow for your app development needs.
