FlutterFlow and Firebase Sync Issues

Database & APIs

Hi everyone,

I’m building a FlutterFlow app connected to Firebase / Firestore and I’m having trouble getting new records to sync to Firestore.

The app runs without errors in FlutterFlow preview. The button action appears to be configured, and there are no visible errors when I test it, but no document is created in Firestore.

What I have already checked:

  • Firebase project is connected to FlutterFlow

  • Firestore collection exists

  • Fields appear to be mapped

  • The button action runs without showing an error

  • Tested on both work laptop and home PC

  • No records appear in Firestore after submitting the form

  • I have tried redeploying / refreshing the Firebase setup

The app is for field reporting. The form is meant to create a Firestore document with fields such as job number, property name, observation type, GPS location, field notes, priority, timestamp, and photo.

My question is: what are the most common reasons FlutterFlow shows no error, but still does not create a document in Firestore?

Could this be caused by Firestore security rules, Firebase configuration, app state, required fields, authentication, or the Create Document action not actually being triggered?

Any step-by-step troubleshooting advice would be appreciated.

Thank you for your help, in advance.

What have you tried so far?

I have gone to AI for help in troubleshooting, but AI can be limited.
