What you can automate today

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

Post new Dropbox files to designated Slack channels automatically

When files are uploaded to specific Dropbox folders, Redbird posts notifications with metadata and direct links to the appropriate Slack channel. Teams stay informed without checking Dropbox or manual link sharing. Perfect for asset delivery, report distribution, and design review workflows.

Archive Slack file attachments to organized Dropbox folders by channel

Automatically save files shared in Slack channels to designated Dropbox folders with consistent naming and organization. Prevents file loss when Slack retention limits kick in. Creates a permanent, searchable archive of all shared assets organized by team, project, or date.

Alert channels when shared Dropbox links are about to expire

Monitor shared links and expiration dates, then post Slack reminders before access expires. Redbird tracks link metadata and notifies relevant channels or users with renewal instructions. Eliminates broken links and follow-up requests from external collaborators.

Create Dropbox Paper docs from Slack message threads on command

Turn important Slack conversations into permanent Dropbox Paper documentation when team members use a slash command or emoji reaction. Redbird captures thread context, participants, and timestamps. Converts ephemeral discussions into organized, searchable knowledge base entries.

Post daily digest of new files in watched Dropbox folders to team channels

Consolidate file activity from multiple Dropbox folders into scheduled Slack digests. Redbird groups uploads by folder, file type, and contributor, then posts formatted summaries at specified times. Reduces notification noise while keeping teams aware of deliverables and updates.

Sync client-shared Dropbox folders to dedicated Slack channels with smart routing

When external collaborators add files to shared folders, Redbird identifies the client or project and posts notifications to the correct internal Slack channel. Includes file previews, contributor info, and automated tagging. Ensures account teams see customer deliverables immediately without folder monitoring.

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 Slack 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 Dropbox folder structures, file metadata, and sharing permissions alongside Slack's channels, users, and message threading — enabling intelligent routing and context-aware notifications.

AI that understands file systems and conversation context

Redbird maps Dropbox folder hierarchies to Slack channel structures and recognizes file types, upload patterns, and collaboration signals. It extracts metadata like file names, tags, contributors, and modification history, then matches them to relevant channels, user groups, and notification preferences. The AI understands when to post immediately versus digest, how to format file previews for readability, and which Slack users should be mentioned based on Dropbox sharing permissions.

faster than building custom file webhooks and Slack bot logic for every folder

Auto-generated reports

Redbird can pull from Dropbox and Slack 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 Slack.

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 Slack, or from Slack 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.
