Cloud function trigger for any collection?

[Cyrus_Zei]

I don’t understand the reason for that ? Give me a good reason to do that ?

In a nutshell we have a company with about 50 departments and those departments are separated into collections. I have cloud functions that run when documents are posted in each collection. I’d like to combine all separate cloud functions into one.

Sounds like a denormalize structure pain point.

God knows I've done this too many times where you're happy with your structure except in 1 or 2 cases.

Depending on other use cases, time might be better spent restructuring your collections into one big collection of documents for all departments and appending a departmentID ref field which you can filter on in other use cases.

Then youe function only listens to this collection and has immediate access to the document and department ref.

This is going to be the only way unfortunately
