Connect ADP and
Kafka with AI

Stream payroll and HR events in real-time without building custom integrations. Redbird AI connects ADP to Kafka, so your team can stop writing batch scripts and start building event-driven data pipelines from your workforce data.

What you can automate today

Redbird gives your team ready-to-run workflows — just connect your accounts and go.

Stream payroll run completions to real-time analytics and data warehouses

Publish payroll processing events to Kafka topics the moment ADP completes a pay run. Enable downstream systems to react instantly to payroll changes, trigger financial reconciliation workflows, and keep data warehouses synchronized without batch delays.

Build event-driven HR data pipelines from employee lifecycle changes

Capture new hires, terminations, promotions, and organizational changes as Kafka events in real-time. Power downstream applications, trigger onboarding workflows, and maintain a complete audit trail of workforce changes across your entire stack.

Stream time and attendance data for real-time labor analytics dashboards

Publish clock-in/clock-out events, PTO requests, and schedule changes to Kafka as they happen. Feed real-time workforce analytics, capacity planning tools, and operational dashboards without polling ADP APIs or waiting for nightly exports.

Sync benefits enrollment changes to downstream HR and financial systems

Stream benefits elections, premium changes, and life event updates through Kafka to accounting platforms, insurance providers, and data warehouses. Eliminate reconciliation errors and ensure all systems reflect current benefits data instantly.

Archive complete payroll and compliance audit trails to immutable event logs

Capture every payroll transaction, tax filing, and compliance event as structured Kafka messages for long-term retention. Build comprehensive audit trails that satisfy regulatory requirements while enabling historical analysis and anomaly detection.

Trigger ADP workforce updates from event streams across your organization

Consume Kafka events from HRIS systems, identity providers, and business applications to update employee records, trigger payroll adjustments, or sync organizational changes back to ADP without manual data entry.

Live in four steps

No engineers, no pipelines to maintain. Redbird handles the connectivity — you focus on the outcome.

01

Connect your accounts

Authorize ADP and Kafka with OAuth or API credentials. Redbird never stores your data — it just passes through.

02

Describe what you want

Tell Redbird what to do in plain language — no SQL, no code, no configuration files required.

03

Review and activate

Redbird shows you exactly what it will do before running anything. Approve the workflow, set a schedule, and switch it on.

04

Let it run — and iterate

Workflows run on your schedule or on triggers. Every run is logged. Adjust with natural language at any time.

Built for data-driven teams

Redbird understands ADP's payroll data structures and Kafka's event streaming patterns, so you can build real-time HR data pipelines without writing brittle integration code.

AI that maps payroll schemas to event streams automatically

Redbird's AI understands ADP's employee records, pay codes, tax entities, and benefits structures — and how to serialize them as Kafka events with proper partitioning and schema evolution. It handles nested compensation data, time tracking hierarchies, and compliance fields, then publishes them to topics with appropriate keys and headers. No custom parsers, no manual schema registry management, no data loss from field changes.

faster than building custom ADP-to-Kafka connectors with streaming frameworks

No Kafka Connect plugins, schema registry configuration, or custom serializers needed

Auto-generated reports

Redbird can pull from ADP and Kafka simultaneously, merge the results, and format a polished report — sent on a schedule or on demand.

Trigger-based alerts

Set conditions in natural language. Get notified in Slack or email the moment a threshold is crossed in either ADP or Kafka.

Enterprise-grade security

SOC 2 Type II certified. Data flows encrypted in transit and at rest. Fine-grained permission controls with full audit logs.

Bidirectional sync

Push data from ADP into Kafka, or from Kafka back into ADP. Resolve conflicts with configurable merge rules.

Full audit trail

Every workflow run is logged — what ran, what changed, and why. Replay or revert any individual step at any time.

Triggers & actions for every team

Start from any payroll or HR event in ADP, or consume Kafka messages to update workforce data automatically.
