Sync Firestore with Activity Feeds

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.
