What you can automate today

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

Post budget variance alerts to finance team channels when actuals diverge from plan

Automatically detect when actual performance deviates from planned targets in Anaplan and post detailed variance summaries to designated Microsoft Teams channels. Finance teams get immediate visibility into budget issues without monitoring dashboards or running manual reports.

Send scenario modeling results to executive channels for review and decision-making

When FP&A teams complete scenario analysis or what-if modeling in Anaplan, publish formatted summaries with key assumptions and outcomes to executive Microsoft Teams channels. Leadership can review, discuss, and approve scenarios directly in their collaboration workspace.

Notify sales operations when territory or capacity plans are updated and published

Trigger Microsoft Teams notifications to regional sales channels whenever sales capacity models, quota allocations, or territory plans are modified in Anaplan. Sales leaders stay informed of planning changes without email chains or calendar invites.

Route plan approval requests from Anaplan workflows to stakeholder Teams channels

When budget proposals or departmental plans reach approval checkpoints in Anaplan, automatically post approval requests with plan summaries to the appropriate stakeholder channels in Microsoft Teams. Approvers can review context and respond without switching to Anaplan.

Capture supply chain alerts from Teams conversations and log as planning assumptions

Monitor designated supply chain Microsoft Teams channels for critical updates about disruptions, supplier changes, or demand signals, then capture these as tagged assumptions in relevant Anaplan supply chain planning models. Planning teams maintain audit trails of external factors influencing forecasts.

Post monthly plan-versus-actual performance summaries to department channels automatically

Generate formatted plan-versus-actual reports from Anaplan consolidations each month and distribute to departmental Microsoft Teams channels with variance highlights and trend commentary. Department heads receive consistent planning updates without finance manually preparing presentations.

Live in four steps

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

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 AI understands Anaplan's hierarchical planning structures and Microsoft Teams' channel architecture, intelligently routing the right planning insights to the right collaboration spaces.

AI that speaks planning and collaboration fluently

Redbird maps Anaplan dimensions, versions, and line items to Microsoft Teams channels, users, and message formats automatically. Our AI understands planning hierarchies—cost centers, regions, product lines—and routes variance alerts, scenario updates, and approval workflows to the appropriate Teams channels without manual configuration. Whether you're syncing actuals comparisons or publishing forecast revisions, Redbird interprets planning model structures and formats insights for collaborative discussion.
