Connect Google Cloud Storage and
Slack with AI

Automate storage monitoring, pipeline alerts, and data availability notifications between your GCP data layer and team channels. Stop manually checking buckets for new files or writing custom Cloud Functions to post updates. Redbird keeps your teams informed the moment data lands or changes.

What you can automate today

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

Alert data teams in Slack when new datasets land in Cloud Storage buckets

Monitor specific buckets or prefixes for new files matching patterns like daily exports, vendor deliveries, or ML training data. Post structured alerts to designated channels with file metadata, size, and direct links. Keep data engineers and analysts notified without polling buckets or checking logs.

Send Slack notifications when pipeline output files fail size or schema validation

Monitor ETL job outputs and compare file sizes, row counts, or formats against expected thresholds. Alert engineering channels immediately when files are missing, undersized, or corrupted. Reduce time-to-detection for broken pipelines from hours to seconds.

Post daily summaries of Cloud Storage usage and costs to finance channels

Aggregate bucket-level storage metrics, object counts, and estimated costs from Cloud Storage metadata. Generate formatted Slack reports showing growth trends, lifecycle policy impacts, and cost optimization opportunities. Keep finance and platform teams aligned on cloud spend without manual exports.

Archive Slack file uploads and shared datasets to Cloud Storage buckets automatically

Capture files shared in specific channels and upload them to organized GCS buckets with metadata like sender, timestamp, and channel context. Create a searchable archive of shared datasets, screenshots, and reports. Ensure compliance retention without manual downloading.

Trigger data refresh workflows from Slack commands that upload files to staging buckets

Let business users initiate data processing by uploading CSVs or Excel files via Slack slash commands. Redbird uploads files to designated Cloud Storage staging buckets with proper naming and metadata, triggering downstream BigQuery loads or Dataflow jobs. Eliminate back-and-forth with engineering for ad-hoc refreshes.

Notify stakeholders when archival data moves to Coldline or gets deleted by lifecycle policies

Track Cloud Storage lifecycle transitions and deletion events for compliance-critical buckets. Post alerts to audit or governance channels when objects are archived, moved to cheaper tiers, or purged. Maintain visibility into automated data retention without digging through Cloud Logging.

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 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 Cloud Storage bucket structures, object metadata, and lifecycle events—plus Slack's channels, threading, and formatting—to build intelligent automations between your data layer and team communication.

AI that understands both GCP storage patterns and Slack workflows

Redbird parses Cloud Storage object metadata like content types, storage classes, and custom attributes to route notifications intelligently. It formats bucket names, file paths, and sizes into readable Slack messages with proper threading and mentions. The platform handles authentication across GCP service accounts and Slack workspaces, manages rate limits for high-volume buckets, and enriches alerts with context like change deltas, user attribution from audit logs, and links to Cloud Console. No custom Cloud Functions or webhook maintenance required.

Auto-generated reports

Redbird can pull from Google Cloud Storage 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 Google Cloud Storage 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 Google Cloud Storage into Slack, or from Slack 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 automations from any Cloud Storage event or Slack activity—no code or manual polling required.
