How to connect your Firebase account

Connecting your account for web push notifications allows you to interact with your audience more effectively. You will be able to export user data points and implement them in your future marketing activities.

Let's talk about how to connect your Firebase account.

What is Firebase?

Firebase is Google's mobile and web app development platform that provides user authentication and real-time data storage and synchronization features.

Firebase allows you to collect analytics data, including user interactions, and utilize this information for product optimization. It also allows you to send web push notifications, making your communication with users easier and more engaging.

With Firebase, developers can speed up the app development process, focusing on functionality and value for clients.

How does the integration work?

When adding a website to SendPulse’s web push notification service, you can connect your Firebase account instead of only using SendPulse. Integrating Firebase with your website's web push notifications helps track user interactions and personalize your notifications, boosting audience engagement.

This way, you can synchronize your subscriber base, export data, or set up web push notifications for these users.
