I am attempting to connect a Google Assistant app using DialogFlow(Api.AI) with Firebase Auth. My App uses Firebase Auth to maintain user accounts and the realtime database to store data. I would like to be able to make changes to a user's data through the Google Assistant, maybe using something like a cloud function. In order to make any user changes through Google Assistant, I need to link the user's Google Assistant account with their Firebase Auth account. The current mechanism appears to be using an OAuth flow documented here.
The question I have is, what is the best way to accomplish this? Do I need to set up a custom OAuth server? There is a lot of documentation on Google's cloud website about OAuth, but it all appears to be related to using OAuth to access Google's APIs, and I can't really see a simple way to host this linking mechanism in GCP.
There is this question that is pretty close, but the difference I have is that I don't have an external API, I just want to authenticate my user and be able to modify their data in the realtime database.
Thank you for your help!
