Connect dbt and
Dropbox with AI

Redbird AI syncs dbt transformations, test results, and documentation with Dropbox automatically. Stop manually exporting compiled SQL, copying documentation files, or downloading test outputs to share with stakeholders.

What you can automate today

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

Archive compiled SQL models to Dropbox on every production run

Automatically save versioned copies of compiled SQL files to designated Dropbox folders whenever dbt runs complete in production. Maintain a historical archive of transformation logic accessible to audit teams and data governance stakeholders without warehouse access.

Sync dbt documentation site artifacts to shared Dropbox folders

Push generated documentation HTML, manifest.json, and catalog files to team Dropbox folders after every docs generation. Keep business users and analysts up-to-date on data lineage and model definitions without managing separate hosting infrastructure.

Deliver data quality test results as formatted reports to Dropbox

Generate Excel or CSV summaries of dbt test failures and warnings, then save them to stakeholder Dropbox folders. Finance and operations teams get readable test result reports without needing to parse dbt Cloud logs or warehouse query outputs.

Trigger dbt model refreshes when source data files arrive in Dropbox

Watch designated Dropbox folders for new CSV, JSON, or Parquet files, then initiate dbt runs to process the uploaded data. Enable semi-automated data pipelines where source teams drop files and transformations execute automatically.

Export model run metadata and performance logs to Dropbox for analysis

Capture execution times, row counts, and resource consumption from dbt runs and save structured logs to Dropbox. Analytics engineering teams can analyze pipeline performance trends using their preferred tools without building custom logging infrastructure.

Alert stakeholders via Dropbox Paper when critical models fail tests

Create or update Dropbox Paper documents with test failure details, affected downstream models, and remediation context when critical dbt tests fail. Keep cross-functional teams informed about data quality issues in collaborative documents they already monitor.

Live in four steps

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

01

Connect your accounts

Authorize dbt and Dropbox 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 dbt project structures, manifest schemas, and run artifacts — plus Dropbox folder hierarchies, file versioning, and sharing permissions.

AI that reads dbt schemas and Dropbox file structures

Redbird automatically maps dbt manifest.json schemas, compiled model directories, and test result formats to appropriate Dropbox folder structures. The AI understands model dependencies from lineage graphs, extracts metadata from run_results.json artifacts, and organizes files by project, environment, or tag. It handles incremental syncing of documentation sites and intelligently versions archived SQL based on git commits or run timestamps.

10×

faster than scripting dbt artifact exports and Dropbox API calls

No custom Python scripts, credential management, or error handling logic required

Auto-generated reports

Redbird can pull from dbt and Dropbox 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 dbt or Dropbox.

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 dbt into Dropbox, or from Dropbox back into dbt. 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 dbt model runs, test completions, or Dropbox file events — Redbird handles the routing and data transformation.
