What you can automate today

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

Sync payroll run data to Looker for automated compensation analysis

Every time payroll is processed in ADP, Redbird extracts compensation, deductions, and tax data and loads it into your data warehouse for Looker exploration. Finance and People Ops get real-time visibility into labor costs, overtime trends, and departmental spend without manual exports.

Stream headcount changes to Looker for live workforce planning dashboards

When employees are hired, terminated, or change departments in ADP, Redbird syncs the updates to your warehouse immediately. Executives see accurate headcount metrics in Looker dashboards without waiting for nightly batch jobs or stale snapshots.

Build time-off and attendance analytics from ADP time tracking data

Redbird pulls PTO balances, attendance records, and time-off requests from ADP into your warehouse for Looker analysis. HR teams can identify utilization patterns, burnout risk, and compliance issues through self-serve dashboards.

Automate benefits enrollment reporting for open enrollment analysis

During enrollment periods, Redbird syncs plan selections, coverage tiers, and dependent information from ADP to Looker. Benefits teams track adoption rates, cost projections, and demographic trends in real time without manually consolidating data.

Alert People Ops when Looker dashboards detect compensation anomalies

When Looker identifies outliers like unusual overtime patterns or pay discrepancies, Redbird triggers notifications to HR teams. Optionally create follow-up tasks in ADP or flag records for review, closing the loop between analytics and action.

Archive historical payroll snapshots for long-term compensation trend analysis

Redbird captures point-in-time snapshots of ADP payroll data and stores them in your warehouse with proper versioning. Analysts can build Looker reports comparing compensation across quarters and years without losing historical context to system updates.

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 Looker 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 HR and payroll data structures and how to map them to Looker's semantic layer, handling schema changes and metric definitions automatically.

AI that speaks both ADP payroll schemas and LookML

Redbird's AI natively understands ADP's employee records, pay codes, tax withholdings, and organizational hierarchies. It automatically maps these to your warehouse schema and generates or updates LookML dimensions and measures so your Looker models stay in sync. When ADP adds new fields or benefits categories, Redbird detects the changes and adjusts your pipeline and semantic layer without breaking existing dashboards.

10×

faster than building custom ADP-to-warehouse ETL and maintaining LookML

No API wrangling, incremental load logic, or manual LookML updates

Auto-generated reports

Redbird can pull from ADP and Looker 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 Looker.

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 Looker, or from Looker 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 automations from any payroll event in ADP or insight discovered in Looker, with actions that update both systems intelligently.
