Creating a new meetup on meetup.com when a new event is pushed to the db and activated. about gdgmadevents HOT 4 OPEN

Why not just call the api from the Admin Panel.
If a "post to Meetup" toggle is enabled , it will push to Firestore and Meetup.

Rather than using cloud functions, firebase functions can also be used as they have a free limit of 125k/month.

@preetjdp that's a great idea! There's a react project already in the repo, that's the admin panel. You can see its source under src.
Just open up the root of this project in vscode.
Thanks for the fantastic suggestion!

Though @preetjdp suggestion is good but we need to do some pre-processing for e.g. uploading the banner for the event to Meetup, and then referencing it in create event Meetup api. Keeping this logic at client side is a bit of pain.
Hence the cloud function route. What you guys think?
