What you can automate today

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

Auto-refresh Tableau extracts when Synapse pipelines complete

Trigger Tableau extract refreshes the moment your Synapse integration pipeline finishes loading new data. Dashboards stay current without scheduled refreshes or manual intervention. Stakeholders always see the latest warehouse state in their reports.

Push new Synapse analytical tables to Tableau as live connections

Automatically publish new Synapse SQL pool tables and views as Tableau data sources when analytics teams create them. Data sources inherit proper connection settings and permissions. Analysts can start building visualizations immediately without IT handoffs.

Alert BI teams when Synapse query performance degrades on published workbooks

Monitor query execution times from Tableau workbooks hitting Synapse and notify teams when dashboards slow down. Includes query text, execution plans, and affected workbooks. Analysts can optimize queries or indexes before user complaints arrive.

Sync Tableau usage metadata back to Synapse for analytics governance

Capture which dashboards, data sources, and fields are actually used by business stakeholders and write this metadata to Synapse. Analytics engineers can identify unused warehouse tables, deprecate stale datasets, and prioritize optimization efforts based on real usage patterns.

Generate Synapse materialized views from high-traffic Tableau dashboard queries

Analyze Tableau workbook queries hitting Synapse and automatically create optimized materialized views for frequently-run aggregations. Redbird identifies common join patterns, filters, and aggregations to pre-compute. Dashboard load times drop without changing visualizations.

Archive Tableau workbook snapshots to Synapse when reports are published

Store point-in-time copies of Tableau workbook data in Synapse dedicated SQL pools when dashboards get published to production. Creates an audit trail of reported metrics and enables historical comparison. Compliance teams can reconstruct what stakeholders saw at any date.

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 Synapse 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 Synapse's distributed SQL architecture and Tableau's workbook structure — mapping warehouse schemas to data sources, extracts, and published dashboards without custom code.

AI that reads Synapse schemas and Tableau workbooks

Redbird parses Synapse SQL pool tables, external tables, and views alongside their column types and distributions. It reads Tableau workbook XML to understand calculated fields, parameters, and data source connections. When your warehouse schema evolves, Redbird identifies affected Tableau data sources and can update field mappings, refresh extracts, or alert workbook owners. You get intelligent orchestration that adapts to both systems' metadata structures.

faster dashboard data refreshes than scheduled extract jobs

No cron schedules, Tableau Server extract scripts, or overnight batch windows to manage refresh timing

Auto-generated reports

Redbird can pull from Azure Synapse 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 Synapse 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 Synapse into Tableau, or from Tableau back into Azure Synapse. 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 pipeline completions in Synapse or dashboard events in Tableau — Redbird connects both systems' operational signals.
