Your integration scope

Start with the update your team needs

Bring the source, destination, and record types. A Stacksync engineer will help establish the available implementation path.

Review the integration scope

Build the right connection

Turn your integration requirement into a clear implementation path

Explore a Firebase and Pigment integration with a Stacksync engineer. Stacksync support for Firebase and Pigment is not established by the connector documentation reviewed for this page. Start with one record and the update your business needs to identify an implementation path.

01 / Business process

Start with one meaningful update

Identify the record that changes in Firebase or Pigment, where it needs to appear, and which team depends on it.

02 / Data access

Establish the available connection

Bring the objects, account editions, and required directions. An engineer can review the connector path, permissions, and field access.

03 / Success criteria

Define a result you can verify

Agree on record matching, acceptable delay, expected volume, and how your team will resolve failed updates.

Prepare your technical review

Use the worksheets and reference checks to capture record identity, ownership, and the result your business expects.

Implementation reference

Record identity and field ownership

Use these data-model references to describe the records your connection needs. They are planning examples; connector availability and supported operations must be established before implementation.

CSV · No email required · Record matching, ownership, and test cases

Reporting datasetProposed metric or analytical result table in Firebase (choose its name) Metrics

Plan a metric or analytical result dataset while preserving its source meaning.

Firebase
Your database schema
Pigment
Object support to establish

Record identity

Identify a metric by definition/version, dimensions, time window, and entity key.

Field ownership

The analytical model owns the computation; operational systems should receive only approved outputs with freshness context.

Fields to include

  • Metric definition
  • Entity reference
  • Time window
  • Value
  • Computed-at time

Architecture decision

Choose how to connect your systems

Choose a method around one example record and the update your business needs. Use Proposed metric or analytical result table in Firebase (choose its name) / Metrics to review record matching and confirm Stacksync support for the required operations. Compare ongoing sync, a custom workflow, and a scheduled export against that requirement.

Stacksync managed sync

Best fit
Review compatibility with a Stacksync engineer using an example of the records and updates you need.
Operating responsibility
Fits ongoing record synchronization when the required operations are supported. Add workflow steps for approvals or business actions that go beyond copying fields.
Before you choose
Check record matching: Identify a metric by definition/version, dimensions, time window, and entity key. Verify field coverage, deletion handling, and how changes are detected.

Native vendor integration

Best fit
A vendor-built integration may fit if it supports your Firebase and Pigment record types.
Operating responsibility
Can reduce setup for a supported workflow. You may need another method for records or business steps it does not cover.
Before you choose
First check whether either vendor offers this integration. If available, verify Proposed metric or analytical result table in Firebase (choose its name) / Metrics, update direction, account tier, and related-record handling.

Custom API or workflow

Best fit
Consider when Firebase and Pigment need a transformation, approval, or action outside a direct record sync.
Operating responsibility
Provides control over business steps; the team owns credentials, version changes, error queues, and reconciliation.
Before you choose
Verify endpoint permissions, pagination, quotas, duplicate detection, and failure recovery. Separate reading history from actions that send messages, grant access, or post transactions.

File or scheduled snapshot

Best fit
Consider for a one-time Firebase / Pigment migration or a reporting need with an explicit freshness window.
Operating responsibility
Can simplify a bounded transfer; later changes and deletion history require another extraction or a separately designed incremental process.
Before you choose
Record the extraction cutoff, source IDs, encoding, date/number formats, and reconciliation totals.

Workflow reference

From a business event to the right update

Open a workflow to see its trigger, record relationships, and expected result.

Metric or analytical result reporting workflow

Starting event: A change to the selected Proposed metric or analytical result table in Firebase (choose its name) or Metrics record needs a defined result in the other system.

  1. Start with Firebase Proposed metric or analytical result table in Firebase (choose its name) and Pigment Metrics. Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.
  2. Resolve entity keys, time zones, aggregation grain, and any currency/unit conversions.
  3. Test a normal update and one failed or repeated update in the supported direction. Keep both record IDs with the test results.

Expected result: Compare identical time windows and dimensions; test late-arriving data and a recalculated metric.

If it fails: Recompute the intended window before retrying an output; avoid overwriting a newer result with an older computation.

Reconcile Pigment business records with Firebase

Starting event: A finance-owned record in Pigment needs operational visibility through Firestore Documents.

  1. Select Metrics with the correct legal entity, period, and currency.
  2. Define a reporting relationship in Firebase; do not equate customer records, ledger accounts, and posted transactions.
  3. Decide whether the process only reports a financial state or requests an approved accounting action, and maintain a separate transaction ID for each action.

Expected result: Totals reconcile within the same entity/currency/window; a repeated handoff creates no duplicate financial transaction.

If it fails: Verify posting and settlement state before retrying. Use the approved adjustment path for already-posted transactions.

Production readiness

Test the behavior your business depends on

Keep both record IDs with the expected and actual result. Reconcile the same filters and time window in each system.

Proposed metric or analytical result table in Firebase (choose its name) / Metrics

Test case

Compare identical time windows and dimensions; test late-arriving data and a recalculated metric.

Expected result

The expected metric or analytical result relationship is preserved with no duplicate action or unintended write.

Direction and permissions

Test case

Bring an example source record and the intended destination operation to the compatibility review. Confirm the supported route before granting write access.

Expected result

Only an approved, supported direction and permitted fields are written.

Freshness and reconciliation

Test case

Measure source and destination times for the selected records under normal load and a burst. Reconcile IDs and values using the same filters and cutoff.

Expected result

The process meets its agreed freshness target and reconciliation has no unexplained differences.

Failure recovery

Find the cause. Restore the data flow.

Start with the failed record and the destination error, then inspect the source value, field requirements, and access.

Rejected or repeated metric or analytical result change

Investigate

Inspect Firebase Proposed metric or analytical result table in Firebase (choose its name) and Pigment Metrics, their IDs, and the destination error.

Next action

Recompute the intended window before retrying an output; avoid overwriting a newer result with an older computation.

A record type or update is unavailable

Investigate

Check the Firebase and Pigment connector guides, account permissions, and any operations marked On Request.

Next action

Ask the integration team to confirm a supported way to handle that record. Verify whether it needs connector configuration or a separate workflow step.

Source and destination disagree after a retry

Investigate

Compare current source values, destination validation, identity mappings, and any side effects already completed.

Next action

Stacksync issue retry reads the current source state. Decide the intended state before retrying or reverting; reconcile downstream effects separately.

Read the Stacksync issues dashboard guide for retry and revert behavior.

Update timing and record limits

  • Measure initial-load and ongoing-change latency separately. Source detection, selected objects, account limits, and destination validation determine the observed delay.
  • Review write-back, deletion handling, update timing, and account limits with the integration team.
  • Review write-back, deletion handling, update timing, and account limits with the integration team.

Prepare Firebase and Pigment access

Set up both accounts before testing the mapping. Use test records where available, and identify the account administrator who can approve access and help resolve setup errors.

Firebase setup checklist

  • Identify the Firebase account, edition, environment, and business objects the integration must access.
  • Confirm a Stacksync connector or implementation path for Firebase, including read/write support, authentication, and initial-load limits.

Pigment setup checklist

  • Identify the Pigment account, edition, environment, and business objects the integration must access.
  • Confirm a Stacksync connector or implementation path for Pigment, including read/write support, authentication, and initial-load limits.

Prepare to go live

Record the fields each system can update, the first-load cutoff, both record IDs, the expected update delay, and who handles errors. Complete the tests before production before expanding to more records.

Use the Firebase and Pigment planning worksheet to capture these decisions. Record the access owner in the worksheet and enter credentials only in the connection setup.
