What you can automate today

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

Stream product usage events to update lead scores in real-time

Capture feature adoption, trial activity, and product engagement events from Kafka and automatically update Marketo lead scores and lifecycle stages. Marketing sees buyer intent signals the moment they happen, triggering nurture campaigns based on actual product behavior instead of outdated demographic data.

Trigger targeted campaigns from real-time clickstream and session data

Route website clickstream events, session starts, and page view sequences from Kafka into Marketo custom activities and engagement programs. Launch account-based campaigns when target accounts hit specific pages, download content, or exhibit buying behavior patterns—no engineering required.

Sync Marketo form submissions and email events back to data warehouse

Capture every Marketo form fill, email open, click, and unsubscribe event and publish it to Kafka topics for downstream analytics, attribution modeling, and customer data platforms. Create a single source of truth for marketing engagement across your entire data stack.

Enrich leads with real-time transaction and billing events from payment systems

Stream purchase events, subscription changes, and payment failures from Kafka into Marketo contact records and program memberships. Automatically segment customers by product tier, usage volume, or contract value, enabling revenue-based marketing without manual Salesforce syncs.

Alert sales when high-value accounts hit critical engagement thresholds

Monitor Kafka event streams for account-level engagement patterns—multiple contacts from same domain, pricing page visits, trial extensions—and trigger Marketo sales alerts or Salesforce tasks. Rev ops gets instant notifications when buying committees show coordinated intent signals.

Archive Marketo campaign performance data for long-term attribution analysis

Pull email send metrics, program success events, and revenue attribution data from Marketo into Kafka for persistent storage and historical analysis. Data teams can build multi-touch attribution models and marketing mix analysis without hitting Marketo API limits or losing historical context.

Live in four steps

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

01

Connect your accounts

Authorize Kafka and Marketo 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 Kafka's event schemas and Marketo's lead database structure, automatically mapping streaming events to custom activities, lead fields, and program memberships without custom code.

AI that speaks both event streams and marketing automation

Redbird automatically parses Kafka topic schemas—whether Avro, JSON, or Protobuf—and maps event payloads to Marketo lead fields, custom objects, and activity types. The AI understands Marketo's data model including partitions, workspaces, lead lifecycle stages, and scoring rules. It handles deduplication logic, respects Marketo rate limits, and batches events intelligently to maximize throughput while maintaining data integrity across both systems.

faster than building custom Kafka consumers and Marketo API integration layers

No middleware infrastructure, consumer group management, or API batch orchestration code required

Auto-generated reports

Redbird can pull from Kafka and Marketo 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 Kafka or Marketo.

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 Kafka into Marketo, or from Marketo back into Kafka. 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 event in Kafka or Marketo—Redbird handles schema evolution, deserialization, and API authentication automatically.
