Connect Google Cloud Storage and
Power BI with AI

Redbird AI automates the flow between your GCP data lake and Microsoft's BI platform. Stop manually downloading files from Cloud Storage buckets, reformatting data, and uploading to Power BI datasets. Let AI handle the sync, transformation, and refresh cycles so your dashboards always reflect the latest data.

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 files land in Cloud Storage buckets

Detect new CSV, Parquet, or JSON files uploaded to specific GCS buckets and automatically trigger Power BI dataset refreshes. Redbird validates schema compatibility, transforms nested structures into flat tables, and updates your reports without manual intervention.

Stage Power BI report exports back to Cloud Storage for archive and compliance

Export Power BI reports as PDF or Excel on schedule and write them to designated GCS buckets with timestamp-based folder structures. Perfect for regulatory compliance, audit trails, and long-term record keeping in your data lake.

Sync Cloud Storage analytics logs into Power BI for storage usage dashboards

Pull GCS access logs and storage metrics from bucket lifecycle events and load them into Power BI datasets. Build executive dashboards tracking bucket usage, cost trends, and access patterns across teams and projects.

Enrich Cloud Storage metadata with Power BI dataset lineage and usage stats

Write Power BI dataset refresh histories, query performance metrics, and user activity logs back to Cloud Storage as JSON. Create a unified metadata layer for governance, tracking which GCS files power which dashboards and how often they're accessed.

Alert teams when Cloud Storage pipeline outputs fail Power BI schema validation

Monitor new data files in GCS buckets and validate against expected Power BI dataset schemas before attempting refresh. Send alerts to Slack or email when schema mismatches occur, preventing failed refreshes and broken dashboards.

Automate Power BI incremental refresh with Cloud Storage partition detection

Detect new date-partitioned folders in GCS buckets and trigger incremental Power BI dataset refreshes for only the changed partitions. Redbird maps GCS folder structures to Power BI incremental refresh policies, dramatically reducing refresh time for large datasets.

Live in four steps

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

01

Connect your accounts

Authorize Google Cloud Storage 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 Google Cloud Storage object structures and Power BI dataset schemas, so you can automate the entire pipeline from GCP data lake to interactive dashboards.

AI that reads Cloud Storage formats and writes Power BI tables

Redbird natively parses Parquet column types, nested JSON structures, and CSV headers from GCS objects, then maps them to Power BI table schemas and data types. The platform detects schema drift between bucket contents and dataset definitions, handles type conversions, and suggests transformations when mismatches occur. Whether you're working with BigQuery exports, machine learning outputs, or pipeline staging files, Redbird knows how to structure them for Power Query and DirectQuery consumption.

faster than building Cloud Functions + Power BI API scripts for each dataset sync

No custom Python scripts, API authentication management, or manual refresh scheduling required

Auto-generated reports

Redbird can pull from Google Cloud Storage 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 Google Cloud Storage 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 Google Cloud Storage into Power BI, or from Power BI back into Google Cloud Storage. 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

Start workflows from any Cloud Storage bucket event or Power BI dataset operation, and chain actions across both platforms automatically.

Google Cloud Storage
Triggers & Actions
Trigger

New file uploaded to bucket

Trigger when any file or files matching a pattern are added to a specified GCS bucket or folder path.

Trigger

File metadata updated

Detect changes to object metadata, storage class transitions, or lifecycle policy actions on existing files.

Trigger

Bucket size threshold exceeded

Monitor total bucket storage usage and trigger when size crosses defined thresholds for cost management.

Action

Read file contents

Retrieve and parse CSV, JSON, Parquet, or Avro files from GCS buckets for transformation or loading.

Action

Write data to bucket

Upload files to specified GCS buckets with custom folder structures, naming conventions, and metadata tags.

Action

Move or archive objects

Relocate files between buckets or folders, apply lifecycle policies, or change storage classes programmatically.

Power BI
Triggers & Actions
Trigger

Dataset refresh completed
