Hi All,

Does anybody know how to use Firebase cloud functions to export part of your firebase data as a CSV file? I would like to do some reporting, when the user presses a button in the app they are able to download a CSV copy of the data associated with their account?

Any ideas for reporting?

Hi,

B Thunkable X no function to write files, but you can get the data from Firebase and send them via e-mail or software for messaging.

I’m brand new to Thunkable and I came across this question, while searching for something similar.

In reviewing the question, we can use Thunkable WebAPI to call a Firebase Cloud Function endpoint, then have that function do our backend work, and return the results as a JSON object (rather than CSV). I would think that would help.

Please correct if I’m misunderstanding the question.
