What you can automate today

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

Sync Workday employee records and org structure to Azure Synapse tables

Automatically extract employee data, reporting hierarchies, and compensation details from Workday into Azure Synapse dimension tables. Keep your warehouse up-to-date with the latest headcount and organizational changes without manual exports or custom integration pipelines.

Push Azure Synapse workforce analytics back into Workday custom reports

Surface advanced analytics, predictive attrition scores, and talent insights calculated in Azure Synapse directly into Workday custom report objects. Enable HR teams to access data science outputs without leaving their platform of record.

Alert HR leadership when Azure Synapse detects workforce anomalies or trends

Monitor aggregated headcount, turnover, or cost metrics in Azure Synapse and trigger notifications in Workday when thresholds are breached. Detect hiring freezes, unexpected attrition spikes, or budget overruns before they escalate.

Archive historical Workday payroll and financial data to Azure Synapse data lake

Automatically extract closed payroll runs, completed financial periods, and historical transactions from Workday into Azure Synapse for long-term retention and compliance. Maintain multi-year analytical datasets without bloating your operational ERP.

Enrich Azure Synapse employee records with third-party recruiting and performance data

Combine Workday HR master data with recruiting platform metrics, performance review scores, and engagement survey results stored in Azure Synapse. Build a unified employee analytical record that spans the full talent lifecycle.

Automate Power BI workforce dashboards using live Workday extracts in Azure Synapse

Schedule incremental extracts of Workday headcount, compensation, and time-tracking data into Azure Synapse tables optimized for Power BI. Refresh executive dashboards on demand without manual data pulls or stale CSV exports.

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 Workday 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 Synapse's warehouse schemas and Workday's HCM and financial data models — so you can automate complex transformations without writing SQL or custom API code.

AI that speaks Synapse SQL and Workday Web Services

Redbird automatically maps Workday worker, position, and organization objects to Azure Synapse fact and dimension tables. It handles Workday's versioned effective-dated records, complex multi-level reporting structures, and nested JSON payloads — then translates them into normalized analytical schemas. Our AI understands Synapse dedicated SQL pools, serverless queries, and Spark notebooks, so you can route data to the right engine and partition strategy without manual configuration.
