Connections Pro + Firebase Auth

RE: I found a few plugins that will create Firebase users when someone signs up for my WP site and vice versa to keep both user systems in sync. My only concern with this setup is how will this interact with Connections?

I have no experience with Firebase, but I do not see that it would negatively interact with Connections.

RE: will Connections and Link be able to work with this Firebase setup?

If Firebase triggers the internal flow executed by WP when logging a User, then Link should work just fine. Specifically, it needs to trigger the wp_login action during the login process. Even if it does not, Link should still work fine. The feature that would break is the action run that tries to auto-link a WP User to a Connections Entry by email address matching.

If the auto-link feature does not work, you will have the ability to manually link and utilize the bulk link tools.

RE: I also plan to use Gravity Forms and the GF User Registration add on to handle the initial sign up process. This process should create a WP User account which will then be synced with Firebase.

If you purchase the Pro Pack, it comes with the Gravity Forms Connector. This addon works just like the GF User Registration addon. You add a feed to the GF form, and it’ll create the Connections Entry and link it to the user. The GF Connector addon supports the GF User Registration addon on you can add both feeds to the same GF form. With this setup, you will still need the Link addon to allow the WP user to editor their Connections Entry.

I hope I have answered your questions thoroughly!
