Connect Amazon S3 and
Tableau with AI

Stop manually downloading files from S3, transforming CSVs, and refreshing Tableau extracts. Redbird AI automatically syncs your S3 data lake with Tableau dashboards, keeping visualizations current as new data arrives.

What you can automate today

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

Auto-refresh Tableau extracts when new files land in S3 buckets

Monitor specific S3 prefixes for incoming data files and trigger Tableau extract refreshes immediately. No more stale dashboards waiting for manual updates. Keep analytics current as pipeline outputs arrive.

Transform S3 JSON logs into Tableau-ready data sources on schedule

Parse nested JSON files from application logs or API outputs stored in S3, flatten structures, and prepare optimized extracts for Tableau. Runs on your cadence—hourly, daily, or as files arrive.

Combine multiple S3 CSV files into unified Tableau datasets automatically

Aggregate partitioned data files across S3 folders—daily exports, regional splits, or incremental dumps—into single Tableau data sources. Handles schema validation and deduplication before loading.

Archive Tableau extract snapshots to S3 for version control and auditing

Automatically backup Tableau data extracts to S3 whenever dashboards are published or refreshed. Maintain historical versions of datasets for compliance, rollback, or trend analysis over time.

Alert data teams when S3 data quality issues affect Tableau dashboards

Scan incoming S3 files for schema changes, missing columns, or anomalous values before Tableau ingests them. Route alerts to Slack or email when data quality checks fail, preventing broken visualizations.

Enrich S3 analytics exports with real-time lookups before Tableau visualization

Augment raw data files in S3 with reference data from databases, APIs, or other sources before Tableau connects. Add customer segments, geo mappings, or product hierarchies to flat files automatically.

Live in four steps

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

01

Connect your accounts

Authorize Amazon S3 and Tableau 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 S3 bucket structures, file formats, and partitioning schemes alongside Tableau's data source types, extract refresh patterns, and connection requirements.

AI that speaks both S3 storage patterns and Tableau data structures

Redbird automatically detects S3 file schemas—CSV headers, JSON structures, Parquet columns—and maps them to Tableau-compatible formats. It handles partitioned data across prefixes, validates schema consistency, and optimizes file formats for Tableau's engine. The AI recognizes when to use live connections versus extracts, manages incremental refreshes, and adapts to nested or denormalized data structures common in data lakes.

faster than building custom ETL scripts to prep S3 data for Tableau

No Lambda functions, Glue jobs, or manual data prep workflows required

Auto-generated reports

Redbird can pull from Amazon S3 and Tableau 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 Amazon S3 or Tableau.

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 Amazon S3 into Tableau, or from Tableau back into Amazon S3. 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 event in your S3 buckets or Tableau environment—new files, dashboard refreshes, or scheduled intervals.
