Connect Dynamics 365 and
Planful with AI

Automate the flow of actuals, budgets, and financial data between your ERP and planning platform. Stop exporting GL data to spreadsheets, manually reconciling actuals vs. plan, and chasing down dimension mismatches every month-end close.

What you can automate today

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

Sync monthly actuals from Dynamics 365 GL to Planful for variance reporting

Automatically push closed-period actuals from Dynamics 365 General Ledger into Planful as soon as your month-end close completes. Map cost centers, departments, and accounts between systems without manual intervention, enabling real-time variance analysis against budget and forecast.

Push finalized budget versions from Planful back to Dynamics 365 for operational use

When finance approves a new annual budget or revised forecast in Planful, automatically load those figures into Dynamics 365 as budget registers. Operations and department managers can compare actuals to current plan directly in their ERP workflows without waiting for monthly reports.

Enrich Planful forecasts with real-time sales pipeline data from Dynamics 365

Pull current opportunity data, deal stages, and expected close dates from Dynamics 365 Sales into Planful revenue planning models. Finance teams can adjust revenue forecasts based on live CRM data rather than static monthly snapshots, improving forecast accuracy throughout the quarter.

Alert finance when actuals exceed budget thresholds by department or project

Monitor spending patterns across Dynamics 365 and automatically notify FP&A teams in Planful when any cost center or project exceeds budget by a defined percentage. Trigger variance investigation workflows and commentary requests directly in Planful when anomalies appear in ERP actuals.

Generate consolidated entity reports by merging Dynamics 365 multi-company actuals in Planful

Automatically consolidate actuals from multiple legal entities and currencies in Dynamics 365 into unified reporting structures in Planful. Handle intercompany eliminations and currency translation based on Planful's consolidation rules, producing board-ready financials without manual Excel adjustments.

Sync new chart of accounts segments from Dynamics 365 to Planful dimension hierarchies

When your finance team adds new departments, cost centers, or GL accounts in Dynamics 365, automatically create corresponding dimension members and hierarchies in Planful. Maintain consistency across planning and reporting structures without manually rebuilding dimension trees each time your COA evolves.

Live in four steps

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

01

Connect your accounts

Authorize Dynamics 365 and Planful 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 Dynamics 365's entity structures and financial hierarchies alongside Planful's planning dimensions and consolidation logic, so your data flows accurately without constant mapping updates.

AI that understands ERP actuals and FP&A planning models

Redbird maps Dynamics 365's chart of accounts, financial dimensions, and currency structures to Planful's planning dimensions, scenarios, and entity hierarchies automatically. It recognizes when GL segments in Dynamics match cost centers or departments in Planful, handles period alignment between fiscal calendars, and intelligently routes actuals into the correct planning versions. When your COA or dimension structure changes, Redbird adapts mappings without breaking existing workflows.

Auto-generated reports

Redbird can pull from Dynamics 365 and Planful 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 Dynamics 365 or Planful.

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 Dynamics 365 into Planful, or from Planful back into Dynamics 365. 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.
