Hi, I am trying to send data from Ubidots using MQTT to Firestore. I manage to send the data but it doesn't the way I wanted because I want to send it to specify field and I want the data update in real time. Any ideas? I'm new to red node.

I read it the document about Firestore write but I didn't get it that some actions need special handling: [https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-cloud-firestore](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-cloud-firestore)

Here is my flow  
 ![node%20red%20flow](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/2X/5/5c03b7e8291254e2349336ef726a2c60f7a2c26b.png)

Firestore db. It will store value either 0 or 1

Add you flow here please read the following post [How to share code or flow json](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/how-to-share-code-or-flow-json/506) before posting. Also include an example of teh data you are receiving via MQTT and what you want to store

Hi mustaqim,  
why did you not opt ​​for the real-time database of firebase? I think this is easier to approach. By the way, which settings did you use with the firestore write node?
