What you can automate today

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

Auto-refresh Power BI datasets when new export files land in Dropbox

Monitor designated Dropbox folders for new CSV, Excel, or JSON exports from upstream systems. Redbird detects new files, validates schemas, transforms data as needed, and pushes updates directly to Power BI datasets—keeping dashboards current without manual imports.

Transform nested folder structures into normalized Power BI data models

Pull files from organized Dropbox folder hierarchies (by region, department, or time period) and intelligently merge them into unified datasets. Redbird maps folder metadata to dimensions, handles schema variations, and loads clean tables ready for Power BI modeling.

Export Power BI report snapshots to Dropbox on a schedule

Automatically generate PDF or Excel exports of key Power BI reports and save them to specific Dropbox folders for distribution, archival, or external sharing. Maintain a timestamped library of historical report versions without manual export workflows.

Alert teams via Dropbox Paper when Power BI thresholds are breached

Monitor Power BI datasets for anomalies or KPI thresholds, then automatically create formatted alerts in Dropbox Paper with context, charts, and action items. Keep cross-functional teams informed even when they're not in Power BI daily.

Consolidate multi-source files into a single Power BI dataset pipeline

Collect files from different Dropbox team folders—sales exports, marketing CSVs, finance reports—and merge them into a unified data flow. Redbird handles schema alignment, deduplication, and incremental loading to Power BI for cross-functional analysis.

Query file-based data in Dropbox using natural language for Power BI ingestion

Ask questions about CSVs, JSON files, or Excel workbooks stored in Dropbox using plain English. Redbird's AI interprets queries, extracts relevant data subsets, and prepares them as Power BI-ready tables without writing transformation scripts.

Live in four steps

No engineers, no pipelines to maintain. Redbird handles the connectivity — you focus on the outcome.

01

Connect your accounts

Authorize Dropbox and Power BI 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 file-based data structures in Dropbox and Power BI's dataset schemas, enabling intelligent mapping between unstructured cloud storage and structured analytics models.

AI that reads file schemas and maps to Power BI models

Redbird automatically detects column headers, data types, and relationships within CSV, Excel, JSON, and Parquet files stored in Dropbox. It maps these to existing Power BI tables or creates new datasets with proper data types, relationships, and incremental refresh logic. When file formats change, Redbird adapts transformations automatically—no manual schema editing or Power Query rewrites needed.

faster than manual file downloads and Power BI dataset refreshes

No manual CSV downloads, Excel cleanup, or Power Query editing required

Auto-generated reports

Redbird can pull from Dropbox and Power BI 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 Dropbox or Power BI.

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 Dropbox into Power BI, or from Power BI back into Dropbox. 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
