Live in four steps

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

01

Connect your accounts

Authorize Gmail and Workday 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 Workday's employee, organizational, and financial data structures alongside Gmail's messaging and automation capabilities to orchestrate seamless HR communication workflows.

AI that understands both Workday schemas and email context

Redbird intelligently maps Workday objects like Worker, Position, Organization, and Business Process events to email triggers and content. Our AI parses employee data fields, compensation structures, and organizational hierarchies to generate contextual email content. We understand when to route notifications based on supervisory org relationships, cost centers, or job profiles, and can extract structured data from email replies to update Workday records without custom parsing logic.
