Firebase trigger - what am I missing?
I want to trigger a Buildship workflow when a document in my firebase is updated. I would have assumed there is a Firebase trigger (I saw one in an older video), but apparently the only way to do it is with a Rowy trigger? Am I missing something?
Thank you for any help!

Hi @moritz Firestore Trigger is on our Roadmap and will be avaible in soon in near future. Yes, currently you can connect your Firestore with Rowy and connect it with BuildShip using Rowy Trigger.

2. Add a Rowy Trigger: In your Rowy project, add a new trigger and configure it to listen for updates on your desired Firestore collection.
3. Connect to BuildShip: Use the Rowy trigger to invoke a BuildShip workflow by setting up the appropriate trigger URL and payload.
For detailed documentation on setting up and using Rowy triggers with BuildShip, refer to the official documentation:

Thank you. Can you already share an estimate as to whether we are talking days, weeks or months? Depending on that I will push that topic to the back or start the rowy trigger build.
there is no fixed ETA on this but by near future I referd to a month or two. You can strat with Rowy Trigger for now.
