Does anyone know if there is a way to set User Properties of Analytics for Firebase with Google Tag Manager? I'm not finding deep documentation about converging this two tools.

Not really clear on what you're trying to achieve here. Are you saying you want to send user properties to Firebase without actually adding the [code](https://firebase.google.com/docs/analytics/android/properties#set_user_properties) in your app? – faridghar Oct 05 '17 at 09:21

I want to set a User Propertie from GTM, im doing this because im working with an app that is not mine but i have to measure analytic stuff with Firebase. I know that i have to add some code in this app but i want to call that code from GTM and setting this user properties here and not doing everything in my code. It's now more clear? Thanks for asking! – Juan Burolleau Oct 05 '17 at 11:53

Have you tried a tag calling a function call? In that function (defined in your app) you would set the property based on instructions defined from GTM. I didn't try it but it seems to be a solution... – Gilbou Oct 12 '18 at 08:37

Lets say you have a user property called exciting_sport and you have written the Firebase code for this user property as follows:
Analytics.setUserPropery("exciting_sport", xcitingsport);
Now in the GTM console you need to create a new variable that matches the user property key. Take a look at the attached screenshot. 
The name of the user property key name should math exactly with the key set in the code. You can use this variable to create a Universal Analytics tag similar and add as a parameter in a event track type. This would work similar to any other event.
You can also add setUserID to the user property and track it likewise.

Did you try this? Does it work? Personally, I get a "Not Defined" when it reaches GA. – Gilbou Nov 01 '18 at 12:58
