What you can automate today

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

Auto-refresh Tableau extracts when Azure SQL tables are updated

Trigger Tableau extract refreshes the moment critical tables in Azure SQL receive new records or updates. Ensure sales dashboards, customer analytics, and operational reports always reflect the latest database state without manual intervention or fixed schedules.

Sync incremental Azure SQL changes to Tableau data sources hourly

Capture only new or modified rows from Azure SQL tables and append them to Tableau extracts throughout the day. Reduce refresh times and cloud egress costs while keeping visualizations current with near-real-time transaction data.

Create Tableau data sources from new Azure SQL views automatically

When analytics teams create new views in Azure SQL for reporting purposes, Redbird detects them and generates corresponding Tableau data sources with proper joins and field mappings. Accelerate dashboard development and maintain consistency across the BI layer.

Alert data teams when Tableau query performance degrades on Azure SQL

Monitor query execution times and resource consumption when Tableau hits Azure SQL live connections. Automatically flag slow-running queries, missing indexes, or connection pool issues before they impact dashboard performance for end users.

Archive Tableau extract metadata to Azure SQL for audit and governance

Log every Tableau extract refresh, data source change, and dashboard publication event to Azure SQL tables. Build a complete audit trail for compliance, track data lineage, and analyze BI platform usage patterns with SQL queries.

Enrich Azure SQL customer records with Tableau calculated field logic

Apply business rules and calculations defined in Tableau workbooks back to source customer or product tables in Azure SQL. Synchronize segmentation logic, KPI definitions, and derived metrics between your BI layer and operational database.

Live in four steps

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

01

Connect your accounts

Authorize Azure SQL 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 AI understands both Azure SQL schema structures and Tableau data source configurations, so you can automate the entire pipeline from relational database to interactive dashboard.

AI that reads SQL schemas and Tableau workbook metadata

Redbird maps Azure SQL tables, views, stored procedures, and constraints to Tableau data sources, extracts, and published workbooks automatically. It understands foreign key relationships in your SQL schema and translates them into proper joins in Tableau. When column names change or new tables appear, Redbird updates data source definitions and flags dependent dashboards. No need to maintain custom connectors or write data pipeline code.

faster dashboard refresh cycles than scheduled extract jobs

No waiting for nightly ETL windows or managing Tableau Server refresh schedules manually

Auto-generated reports

Redbird can pull from Azure SQL 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 Azure SQL 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 Azure SQL into Tableau, or from Tableau back into Azure SQL. 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.
