Integration Steps:

• Select the "New Document" trigger, and connect your Firebase/Firestore account.
• Provide all the required details and choose the Order By field.
• Please ensure to enable the map button and enter the field name for which the records will be fetched. The default value is createTime.
  Note: Make sure to create a field "createTime" in your document, and choose the field type as "timestamp". Also, note that while creating the document through the action event "Create Document" enter the "createTime" value in the Key field, and enter the "timestampValue" value in the "CreateTime Type" field and "[{{modifyDateTime_Y-m-d}}]T[{{modifyDateTime_H:i:s}}]Z" value in "CreateTime Value" field.
