How to Integrate Campaignswell with Firebase

Firebase integration uses a 3-step chain:

Firebase → Google Analytics 4 → BigQuery → Campaignswell

Important: You need to complete setup in both Firebase AND Google Analytics.

Prerequisites

• Active Firebase project with app(s) configured
• Google Cloud Platform account with billing enabled
• Admin access to Firebase Console, Google Analytics and Google Cloud

Step 1: Enable BigQuery API in Google Cloud (Step 2 from this guide)

1. Open Google Cloud Console (console.cloud.google.com)
2. Select your Firebase project from the project dropdown
3. In the search bar, search for "BigQuery API"
4. Verify status shows "Enabled"
   
   • If not enabled, click Enable button

Step 2: Link Firebase to BigQuery

2.1 Open Firebase Console

• Go to Firebase Console (console.firebase.google.com)
• Select your project

2.2 Navigate to Integrations

• Click ⚙️ Project Settings (left sidebar)
• Go to Integrations tab

2.3 Link to BigQuery

• Find BigQuery card
• Click to configure the integration
• Configure export settings:
  
  • Choose your product
    

• • ✅ Export frequency: Daily
  • ✅ Enable Streaming
  • ✅ Enable Include Advertising Identifier
• Click Link to confirm

⚠️The step above links Firebase to Google Analytics. Now you need to complete the connection in Google Analytics Admin.

Step 3: Link Google Analytics to BigQuery 

• Go to Google Analytics (analytics.google.com)
  

• Click Admin (⚙️ gear icon, bottom left)
• In Property column → BigQuery Links
• Click Link button
  

• Select your Google Cloud project (same as Firebase)
• Choose data location (US, EU, etc.)
• Confirm export settings (Daily + Streaming) (follow the Step 3 instructions here)
• Click Next → Submit

This completes the full chain: Firebase → Google Analytics → BigQuery

Step 4: Invite Campaignswell team to Google Cloud Project

4.1 Navigate to IAM & Admin

• In Google Cloud Console, go to IAM & Admin (left sidebar menu)
• Or search for "IAM" in the search bar

4.2 Share Access

• Click + Grant Access button
  

• Email: aliaksei@campaignswell.com 
• Role: Owner
  
  • OR: 
    
    • editor
    • iam.securityAdmin
    • bigquery.admin
    • storage.objectAdmin
    • iam.roles.create
• Click Save

Step 5: Verify

• ✅ BigQuery API is enabled
• ✅ Firebase linked to BigQuery (Daily export + Streaming + Advertising ID)
• ✅ Campaignswell team invited to Google Cloud project with Owner role or alternative roles (see above)

What Happens Next

1. Campaignswell technical team completes backend setup 
2. Data validation with your Firebase Analytics data
3. Firebase attribution data appears in Campaignswell dashboard
