Before you proceed with the installation, please review the following important information to ensure a smooth setup.

---

⚙️ Prerequisites

• You must have a Firebase project with Firestore enabled.
• You should have admin access to your Firebase Console to install extensions.
• Make sure you have a valid Pabbly Connect webhook URL ready to receive webhook payloads.

🔍 Important Considerations

• The extension requires your Pabbly Connect Webhook URL to accept HTTP POST requests with JSON payloads.
• Make sure the Firestore collections you want to monitor exist or will be created.
• The extension will incur Firebase Cloud Function and Firestore usage costs based on your activity.
• Ensure you understand your Firestore security rules, as this extension listens to document changes.

---

📋 Installation Tips

• Double-check your WEBHOOK_URL for correctness before installation.
• If you want to monitor multiple collections or specific paths, use Firestore path wildcards like {collectionId}/{documentId}.
• Choose the correct LOCATION closest to your Firestore data to reduce latency and costs.
