What you can automate today

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

Auto-refresh Tableau dashboards when new data files land in Dropbox folders

Monitor designated Dropbox folders for new CSV, Excel, or JSON files. When files arrive, Redbird automatically extracts data, transforms it to match your Tableau schema, and refreshes connected data sources. Your dashboards stay current without manual imports.

Export Tableau extracts and workbooks to Dropbox folders for distribution

Automatically save Tableau workbook exports, packaged workbooks, or data extracts to organized Dropbox folders. Redbird handles the export scheduling, naming conventions, and folder routing so stakeholders always access the latest versions from shared drives.

Parse unstructured reports from Dropbox and populate Tableau-ready datasets

Convert PDFs, text files, and scanned documents stored in Dropbox into structured data tables. Redbird's AI extracts key metrics, normalizes formats, and creates clean CSVs or database records that Tableau can instantly visualize without preprocessing.

Sync multi-source data files in Dropbox to unified Tableau data blends

Combine data from multiple CSV files across different Dropbox folders into a single, blended dataset for Tableau. Redbird handles schema mapping, deduplication, and relationship detection so you can visualize cross-source data without manual merging.

Generate snapshot reports from Tableau views and archive to Dropbox with metadata

Capture Tableau dashboard snapshots as PDFs or images on schedules or triggers, then save them to Dropbox with intelligent naming, timestamps, and folder organization. Perfect for compliance, historical tracking, or offline distribution to external partners.

Monitor Dropbox file changes and trigger Tableau data source refreshes automatically

Track file modifications, additions, or version updates in specific Dropbox folders. When changes occur, Redbird immediately triggers corresponding Tableau data source refreshes, ensuring dashboards reflect the absolute latest data without manual intervention or scheduled delays.

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 Tableau 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's file structure, versioning, and metadata alongside Tableau's data source schemas, extract formats, and connection requirements.

AI that reads file schemas and Tableau data models

Redbird's AI parses file headers, column types, and data patterns from Dropbox CSVs, Excel sheets, and JSON files, then maps them to Tableau's dimensions, measures, and calculated fields. It detects schema drift when file structures change, automatically adjusts field mappings, and handles data type conversions between storage formats and Tableau's engine. You don't need to manually specify column relationships or write transformation scripts.

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 Tableau, or from Tableau 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.
