Connect Anaplan and
Looker with AI

Sync planning data, actuals, and scenarios between your connected planning platform and enterprise BI layer. Stop manually exporting model outputs to update dashboards or copying actuals back into forecast versions.

What you can automate today

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

Sync approved budget versions from Anaplan into Looker dashboards automatically

When finance locks a budget version in Anaplan, push dimension hierarchies and plan values into your data warehouse for Looker reporting. Keep executive dashboards current without exports or manual data loads.

Load actual performance data from Looker into Anaplan for variance analysis

Pull actuals from your governed Looker metrics into corresponding Anaplan model versions. Finance teams get plan-vs-actual comparisons in their native planning environment without switching contexts or building custom ETL.

Generate scenario comparison reports in Looker from multiple Anaplan forecast versions

Automatically export scenario outputs from Anaplan's driver-based models and structure them for Looker's semantic layer. Enable executives to visualize upside, base, and downside forecasts alongside actuals in a single dashboard.

Alert planning teams when Looker metrics deviate from Anaplan forecast thresholds

Monitor key business metrics in Looker against planned ranges from Anaplan. When actuals fall outside tolerance, trigger notifications to planning owners with variance context and drill-down links to both systems.

Enrich Looker dashboards with Anaplan driver assumptions and planning metadata

Surface the underlying drivers, assumptions, and version metadata from Anaplan models directly in Looker reports. Business users understand not just the numbers but the planning logic and scenarios behind them.

Update Anaplan input assumptions based on trending actuals identified in Looker

When Looker identifies sustained performance trends in key drivers, automatically suggest or apply assumption updates to forward-looking periods in Anaplan. Keep rolling forecasts aligned with emerging business reality.

Live in four steps

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

01

Connect your accounts

Authorize Anaplan 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 Anaplan's multidimensional model structures and version hierarchies alongside Looker's LookML semantic layer, ensuring planning data flows into governed metrics without manual mapping.

AI that understands connected planning and semantic BI layers

Redbird maps Anaplan's dimension structures, line item formulas, and version hierarchies to Looker's LookML dimensions and measures. The platform interprets your model metadata, time periods, and organizational hierarchies to ensure planning data aligns with your governed metric definitions. When scenarios change or new versions are created, Redbird automatically structures the data for consistent reporting across your BI layer.

10×

faster than building custom Anaplan exports and warehouse loads

No CSV exports, transformation scripts, or manual dimension mapping between planning and BI systems

Auto-generated reports

Redbird can pull from Anaplan 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 Anaplan 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 Anaplan into Looker, or from Looker back into Anaplan. 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.
