What you can automate today

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

Sync transformed customer segments from dbt models to SFMC Data Extensions

Automatically push refined customer segments built in dbt directly into Salesforce Marketing Cloud Data Extensions. Keep high-value audiences, churn predictions, and engagement scores always current without CSV exports or API scripts.

Populate dbt seed files with SFMC campaign send and engagement data

Pull email sends, opens, clicks, and conversion events from Marketing Cloud into your data warehouse as dbt seeds or incremental models. Build unified marketing attribution models with complete campaign performance history.

Enrich SFMC subscriber profiles with calculated metrics from dbtmart tables

Surface customer lifetime value, product affinity scores, and predictive metrics computed in dbt directly into Marketing Cloud contact records. Enable sophisticated personalization without rebuilding logic in Marketing Cloud SQL.

Alert marketing ops when dbt data quality tests fail on audience models

Automatically notify Marketing Cloud stakeholders when dbt test failures affect customer segmentation or campaign targeting models. Prevent sending to stale or incomplete audiences before campaigns launch.

Archive SFMC journey performance data into versioned dbt staging models

Continuously sync journey analytics, A/B test results, and multi-touch attribution data from Marketing Cloud into your warehouse. Maintain historical campaign records that feed centralized marketing performance dashboards.

Update SFMC suppression lists automatically from dbt churn and compliance models

Push unsubscribe predictions, compliance flags, and customer preference changes computed in dbt directly to Marketing Cloud suppression and exclusion lists. Keep sends compliant and reduce wasted impressions on disengaged contacts.

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 Salesforce Marketing Cloud 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 table schemas and column lineage alongside Salesforce Marketing Cloud's Data Extension structures, subscriber attributes, and journey event schemas.

AI that reads your dbt models and SFMC Data Extension definitions

Redbird parses your dbt project metadata to understand table relationships, column types, and transformation logic. It simultaneously maps Marketing Cloud Data Extensions, contact attributes, and sendable data structures. The AI automatically handles type conversions between warehouse formats and SFMC field types, manages primary key matching between subscriber keys and customer IDs, and validates segment sizes before sync. You describe the business outcome—audience refresh, metric enrichment, performance capture—and Redbird builds the data flow.

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 Salesforce Marketing Cloud, or from Salesforce Marketing Cloud back into dbt. Resolve conflicts with configurable merge rules.

Every workflow run is logged — what ran, what changed, and why. Replay or revert any individual step at any time.
