Connect dbt and
Jira with AI

Stop manually triaging dbt test failures and chasing engineers in Slack. Redbird AI syncs data quality issues directly into Jira, tracks model dependencies across sprints, and keeps your analytics and engineering teams aligned without the busywork.

What you can automate today

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

Automatically create Jira tickets when dbt tests fail in production

When a dbt data quality test fails, Redbird creates a prioritized Jira issue with full context—test name, affected models, column details, and failure threshold. Engineering gets actionable tickets instead of vague Slack messages. No more manual triage or lost context.

Sync dbt model changes to related Jira epics and feature tickets

When analytics engineers update or create dbt models tied to product features, Redbird automatically comments on linked Jira tickets with model names, dependencies, and documentation URLs. Product and engineering teams stay informed about data readiness without checking dbt Cloud.

Track dbt schema changes as part of sprint delivery requirements

Redbird monitors dbt schema changes—new columns, renamed fields, deprecated models—and updates corresponding Jira stories with migration checklists. Teams ship features with data layer changes properly tracked and validated before release.

Update dbt model documentation when Jira tickets are marked as done

When engineers close Jira tickets related to data model changes, Redbird triggers documentation updates in dbt—adding context, updating descriptions, or flagging models for review. Your data lineage stays current with actual engineering work.

Generate sprint reports on data pipeline health and model coverage

Redbird pulls dbt run history, test pass rates, and model coverage metrics, then updates dedicated Jira dashboards or comments on sprint retrospective tickets. Analytics leaders get engineering-readable reports on data quality without exporting CSVs or building custom dashboards.

Close resolved Jira data issues when dbt tests pass after fixes

When a previously failing dbt test passes after code changes, Redbird automatically closes or comments on the linked Jira ticket with run metadata and timestamps. Engineers get confirmation their fixes worked without manual validation.

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 Jira 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's semantic layer—models, tests, sources, snapshots—and maps them intelligently to Jira's issue hierarchy, custom fields, and workflow states.

AI that speaks both analytics engineering and agile workflows

Redbird parses dbt manifest files to understand model lineage, test configurations, and column-level metadata, then maps these to Jira issue types, priority schemes, and sprint structures. It recognizes when a failing test affects downstream dashboards and escalates the right ticket to the right team. When schema changes land in production, Redbird knows which epics and user stories need updating—no manual mapping required.

dbt test results → Jira issue creation
Model lineage → ticket dependencies
Schema changes → sprint checklists
Run metadata → engineering context
10×

faster data quality incident response vs Slack threads and manual ticket creation

No CSV exports, no custom webhooks, no brittle API scripts to maintain

Auto-generated reports

Redbird can pull from dbt and Jira 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 Jira.

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 Jira, or from Jira 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 any dbt run event or Jira workflow transition—Redbird handles the rest.
