What you can automate today

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

Sync departmental budget requests from Google Forms into Planful budget templates

Finance teams send budget request forms to department heads each planning cycle. Redbird validates submissions against chart of accounts, maps form fields to Planful dimensions, and loads requests directly into budget worksheets—eliminating manual data entry and version control issues.

Capture monthly forecast commentary from managers and attach to Planful variance reports

Instead of chasing explanations via email, collect structured variance commentary through Google Forms. Redbird automatically associates responses with the correct cost center and period in Planful, populating commentary fields alongside actuals for board-ready reporting.

Route headcount change requests from intake forms into Planful workforce planning models

HR and department leaders submit headcount requests through standardized forms. Redbird parses role details, salary bands, and start dates, then updates headcount assumptions in Planful workforce modules—keeping personnel forecasts synchronized with approved hiring plans.

Feed project investment proposals into Planful capital planning and scenario models

Business units submit capex requests via Google Forms with cost estimates and timelines. Redbird validates financial inputs, categorizes by investment type, and creates project scenarios in Planful—enabling finance to model ROI and funding impacts instantly.

Collect monthly actuals corrections from operations and update Planful consolidation worksheets

When operational teams identify allocation errors or accrual adjustments, they submit corrections through Google Forms. Redbird validates the impact, applies appropriate dimension tags, and posts adjustments to Planful consolidation workflows before the close deadline.

Generate budget assumption intake forms pre-populated with prior year data from Planful

Before each planning cycle, Redbird pulls department-level actuals and approved budgets from Planful to pre-fill Google Forms sent to budget owners. Managers review pre-populated baselines and adjust assumptions, creating a faster, more informed planning process.

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 Forms 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 Google Forms response schemas and Planful's multidimensional planning structures—mapping form fields to accounts, entities, time periods, and custom dimensions without manual configuration.

AI that speaks both form logic and financial planning hierarchies

Redbird's AI automatically interprets Google Forms column headers and question types, then maps them to Planful's chart of accounts, entity structures, and dimension members. It validates submissions against Planful metadata—catching invalid account codes, duplicate entries, and out-of-range dates before they enter your planning models. When forms reference departments, projects, or cost centers, Redbird resolves them to the correct Planful dimension values, handling synonyms and hierarchy lookups intelligently.
