Delivery Email Function
When new data is added to a Firebase Database, this function will be triggered to send an email message to a specific email address using your google email.
To do
-
Create a database on Firebase.
-
Create a cloud function on Firebase.
-
Change the constant emailToSendMsg value in the index.js with your email address.
-
Open the terminal and launch the following command to store your google credentials in your function
firebase functions:config:set gmail.login=yourlogin@gamail.com gmail.pass=yourpass. These credentials will be stored in the following variables:const gmailEmail = functions.config().gmail.login;const gmailPassword = functions.config().gmail.pass;
-
In the following code change formsubmit with your database name:
//.onDataAdded is watches for changes in database
exports.onDataAdded = functions.database.ref('/formsubmit/{sessionId}').onCreate(function (snap, context) {
//here we catch a new data, added to firebase database, it stored in a snap variable
const createdData = snap.val();
//here we send new data using function for sending emails
return goMail(createdData);
});- Deploy the code to your Firebase Cloud Function.
