Connect dbt and Heap with AI

Redbird AI syncs behavioral event data between dbt and Heap automatically. Stop manually writing SQL to model Heap events, or copying schemas between your analytics platform and warehouse transformations.

What you can automate today

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

Auto-generate dbt models from new Heap event schemas

When new auto-captured events appear in Heap, Redbird generates corresponding dbt staging models with proper column types and documentation. Your analytics engineers always have transformation models that match current product instrumentation without manual schema checks.

Sync cleaned dbt fact tables back to Heap for segmentation

Push deduplicated, business-logic-enriched user behavior tables from dbt back into Heap as custom segments. Marketing and product teams work with clean, standardized behavioral cohorts instead of raw event data.

Alert analytics team when dbt tests fail on Heap event models

When dbt data quality tests detect anomalies in Heap event volumes or schema changes, Redbird notifies the analytics team with context about which product flows are affected. Catch instrumentation issues before they corrupt dashboards.

Enrich Heap events with customer metadata from dbt dimension tables

Join raw Heap interaction data with account tier, ARR, and lifecycle stage from your dbt customer dimension models. Product teams analyze user behavior segmented by business-critical attributes without writing SQL.

Generate dbt documentation from Heap event definitions and properties

Redbird pulls event names, property descriptions, and usage context from Heap to auto-populate your dbt model documentation. Your data catalog stays synchronized with product analytics definitions without duplicate manual documentation.

Create dbt metrics from high-converting Heap funnel definitions

When product teams finalize conversion funnels in Heap, Redbird translates them into dbt metrics with proper SQL logic. Standard conversion definitions propagate across all BI tools without copy-paste errors.

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 Heap 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 both dbt's transformation layer structure and Heap's auto-captured behavioral schema, so your product analytics pipeline stays synchronized without constant manual intervention.

AI that reads dbt models and Heap event schemas

Redbird maps Heap's automatically captured events and properties to your dbt staging, intermediate, and mart layers. It understands when Heap schema changes require model updates, when dbt transformations should flow back as Heap segments, and how to join behavioral event streams with dimension tables. The AI recognizes patterns like sessionization logic, user stitching, and funnel definitions across both systems.

faster behavioral data modeling vs manually syncing schemas

No manual copying of Heap event definitions into dbt YAMLs or writing staging models from scratch for each new auto-captured interaction.

Auto-generated reports

Redbird can pull from dbt and Heap 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 Heap.

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 Heap, or from Heap 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 or Heap event changes, and update either system based on what happens in the other.
