What you can automate today

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

Auto-rebuild dbt models when Shopify order volumes spike

Trigger incremental dbt model runs when new order batches land in your warehouse from Shopify. Keep customer lifetime value, cohort, and product performance models fresh without scheduled delays. Ensure analytics reflect real-time commerce activity.

Sync product catalog changes to trigger dbt schema updates

When new product collections or attributes are added in Shopify, automatically flag dbt models that reference product taxonomies for review. Prevent broken joins and maintain data lineage as your catalog evolves. Keep transformation logic aligned with merchandising changes.

Push aggregated revenue metrics from dbt back to Shopify metafields

Surface dbt-calculated metrics like 90-day product velocity, customer segment scores, or margin analysis directly into Shopify product and customer records as metafields. Enable merchandising teams to act on analytics without leaving their workflow.

Alert when dbt test failures detect Shopify data quality issues

Monitor dbt test results for anomalies in Shopify-sourced tables like negative inventory counts, null order totals, or duplicate transaction IDs. Route alerts to operations teams with context about which Shopify stores or sales channels are affected. Catch data issues before they corrupt reporting.

Generate daily sales performance reports from dbt models to Shopify admin

Automatically compile dbt-transformed sales analytics—conversion rates by traffic source, SKU-level margins, regional performance—and surface them in Shopify admin dashboards or email digests. Replace manual BI tool exports with scheduled, governed metrics.

Archive historical Shopify order snapshots and trigger dbt backfill jobs

When Shopify order data reaches retention thresholds, archive raw extracts to cold storage and trigger dbt models to backfill historical aggregations. Maintain long-term trend analysis while managing warehouse costs and compliance requirements.

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 Shopify 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 both dbt's semantic layer and Shopify's commerce data model—so you can automate the entire pipeline from checkout to insight.

AI that speaks SQL transformations and e-commerce events

Redbird maps Shopify's order line items, product variants, customer records, and inventory events to your dbt staging, intermediate, and mart models. It understands dbt's ref() dependencies, test definitions, and freshness checks alongside Shopify's nested JSON structures for orders, refunds, and fulfillments. When catalog attributes change or new sales channels launch, Redbird identifies which transformation models need updates and which tests should validate the new data shape. No custom scripts to parse Shopify webhooks or maintain brittle dbt run triggers.

faster than scripting dbt runs for every Shopify data refresh

No Airflow DAGs, custom webhook handlers, or manual model rebuilds when sales events spike

Auto-generated reports

Redbird can pull from dbt and Shopify 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 Shopify.

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 Shopify, or from Shopify 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
