Connect dbt and
Google Drive with AI

Redbird AI syncs dbt model outputs, test results, and documentation directly to Google Drive—automatically. Stop manually exporting data quality reports, copying lineage diagrams, or sharing model definitions across spreadsheets and slides.

What you can automate today

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

Export dbt test results to Google Sheets after every production run

Automatically send test pass/fail status, row counts, and quality metrics to a shared Google Sheet after each dbt run. Analytics stakeholders see data quality status without accessing the warehouse or dbt Cloud.

Generate and update data lineage PDFs in shared Drive folders

Export visual lineage graphs and model dependency trees from dbt as PDF documentation whenever models change. Keep business teams aligned on upstream/downstream impacts without navigating dbt docs sites.

Archive compiled SQL queries to Google Drive for audit trails

Save compiled SQL from production dbt models to versioned folders in Google Drive after deployment. Create an accessible audit log that compliance and data governance teams can review without warehouse access.

Alert stakeholders via Sheets when critical models fail tests

Update a monitoring Google Sheet and trigger notifications when revenue-critical dbt models fail quality tests. Product and finance teams get immediate visibility into data issues affecting their dashboards.

Sync model descriptions and metric definitions to shared documentation Docs

Pull YAML documentation, business logic, and standardized metric definitions from dbt into Google Docs templates. Maintain single-source-of-truth documentation accessible to non-technical stakeholders across the organization.

Trigger dbt model refreshes when source CSV files update in Drive

Monitor specific Google Drive folders for new or updated CSV exports and automatically kick off targeted dbt runs to refresh dependent models. Keep analytics pipelines responsive to external data drops without manual intervention.

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 Google Drive 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 understands dbt's transformation logic, test frameworks, and metadata structures—and knows how to format them for Google Drive's collaboration workflows.

AI that reads dbt schemas and writes Drive-ready documentation

Redbird parses dbt manifest.json, run results, and catalog metadata to extract model definitions, column descriptions, test outcomes, and lineage relationships. It automatically formats this technical output into stakeholder-friendly Google Sheets, Docs, and organized folder structures. No need to build custom exporters or manually translate YAML configs into presentation formats—Redbird maps dbt's analytical metadata to collaborative documents your entire team can access.

10×

faster than exporting dbt metadata and formatting reports manually

No Python scripts to extract manifest data, no manual copying of test results, no versioning documentation by hand.

Auto-generated reports

Redbird can pull from dbt and Google Drive 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 Google Drive.

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 Google Drive, or from Google Drive 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 and test completions, or kick off transformations when files land in Google Drive.
