Connect Airflow and
Jira with AI

Stop manually creating tickets for failed pipelines and tracking data engineering work across disconnected systems. Redbird AI syncs Airflow pipeline runs with Jira issues automatically, so data ops incidents surface to engineering teams without context switching.

What you can automate today

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

Auto-create Jira tickets for failed Airflow DAG runs with error context

When an Airflow task fails, automatically create a Jira issue with the full error stack trace, affected DAG, task instance details, and execution logs. Engineering teams get all the context they need to debug without digging through Airflow logs.

Track data pipeline maintenance work in Jira linked to specific DAGs

Create Jira issues for planned Airflow DAG updates and automatically tag them with pipeline metadata. When the ticket moves to Done, Redbird can trigger a validation run or update pipeline documentation with completion details.

Close incidents automatically when Airflow retry logic succeeds

When an Airflow task fails but succeeds on retry, automatically resolve the corresponding Jira incident ticket and add a comment with retry attempt details. Keeps your backlog clean and reflects actual system state without manual updates.

Generate sprint reports showing data engineering delivery against pipeline deployments

Combine Jira sprint completion data with Airflow DAG deployment history to show which pipelines were built, updated, or deprecated each sprint. Surface engineering velocity metrics that include actual production pipeline outcomes, not just ticket status.

Sync SLA miss alerts to existing Jira incidents for dependent services

When Airflow detects an SLA breach on a critical pipeline, find related Jira issues for downstream services and add comments with impact details. Data platform issues automatically surface to teams waiting on that data.

Archive Jira ticket details into pipeline metadata for post-incident analysis

After resolving pipeline incidents tracked in Jira, sync ticket discussions, resolution steps, and root cause notes back to Airflow as DAG metadata. Build a searchable history of pipeline issues within your orchestration platform for future debugging.

Live in four steps

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

01

Connect your accounts

Authorize Airflow and Jira 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 Airflow's DAG structure, task dependencies, and execution metadata alongside Jira's issue hierarchies, sprint workflows, and custom fields — no manual mapping required.

AI that reads DAG configs and Jira schemas to automate what matters

Redbird's AI interprets your Airflow DAG definitions, task instance states, SLA configurations, and XCom data, then maps them intelligently to Jira issue types, custom fields, and project workflows. It understands when a task failure is an incident versus a known flaky test, and routes context accordingly. The system learns your team's conventions—whether you track data pipeline work in epics, link issues to specific database tables, or use custom fields for data lineage—and automates ticket creation and updates that match your existing practices.

faster incident response vs manually copying Airflow errors into tickets

No switching between Airflow UI and Jira to copy stack traces, find affected pipelines, or update ticket status when retries succeed.

Auto-generated reports

Redbird can pull from Airflow and Jira 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 Airflow or Jira.

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 Airflow into Jira, or from Jira back into Airflow. 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 Airflow pipeline event or Jira issue transition and take action across both platforms.

Airflow
Triggers & Actions
Trigger

DAG run fails

Fires when an Airflow DAG run completes with a failed status, including all task-level error details.

Trigger

Task instance retries

Triggers when a task attempts a retry after initial failure, capturing retry count and wait time.

Trigger

SLA missed

Activates when a task or DAG misses its defined SLA threshold, with timing and duration context.

Action

Trigger DAG run

Manually start a specific DAG execution with custom configuration parameters from Jira workflows.

Action

Update task metadata

Add or modify metadata tags, notes, or custom attributes on Airflow tasks and DAG runs.

Action

Clear task instance state

Reset failed task instances to enable re-runs without manual Airflow UI intervention.

Jira
Triggers & Actions
Trigger

Issue status changes

Fires when a Jira issue transitions between statuses like To Do, In Progress, or Done.

Trigger

Priority escalated

Triggers when an issue's priority is raised to Critical or Blocker, indicating urgent data platform needs.

Trigger

Sprint completed

Activates at sprint close, providing access to all completed issues and velocity metrics for that iteration.

Action

Create linked issue

Generate new Jira tickets with specific issue types, projects, and custom field values from pipeline events.

Action

Add comment with context

Append detailed comments to existing issues with Airflow execution logs, error traces, or resolution notes.

Action

Transition issue status

Move issues through your workflow automatically based on pipeline success, retry, or failure states.
