What you can automate today

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

Auto-refresh Tableau extracts when MySQL tables are updated

Monitor MySQL tables for inserts, updates, or deletes and trigger Tableau extract refreshes instantly. Keep dashboards current without scheduled refreshes or manual intervention. Ensure stakeholders always see the latest transactional data.

Sync new MySQL tables to Tableau data sources automatically

When developers add tables or modify schemas in MySQL, Redbird detects changes and creates or updates corresponding Tableau data sources. Eliminates the lag between database updates and dashboard availability. Analytics teams stay in sync with production changes.

Generate Tableau calculated fields from MySQL query patterns

Analyze common MySQL queries and analytical patterns to automatically suggest and create Tableau calculated fields. Redbird translates SQL logic into Tableau calculations, reducing time to insight. Data analysts get pre-built metrics that match operational reporting.

Alert database admins when Tableau queries slow down MySQL

Monitor Tableau query performance against MySQL and flag expensive operations impacting database health. Redbird identifies problematic dashboard filters or extracts causing load. Database teams can optimize indexes or suggest extract strategies before users complain.

Archive historical MySQL snapshots based on Tableau usage metrics

Track which historical data ranges are actually used in Tableau dashboards and intelligently archive unused MySQL records. Reduce database size while preserving data needed for active analytics. Redbird ensures archive policies align with actual reporting needs.

Update MySQL application configs when Tableau thresholds are crossed

When Tableau dashboard metrics hit defined thresholds, automatically update MySQL configuration tables or feature flags. Enable data-driven operational changes like inventory reordering or pricing adjustments. Close the loop between analytics insights and application behavior.

Live in four steps

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

01

Connect your accounts

Authorize MySQL and Tableau 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 MySQL table structures and Tableau data source configurations, intelligently mapping relational schemas to visual analytics without manual configuration.

AI that speaks both SQL and Tableau's data language

Redbird reads MySQL information_schema metadata to understand your tables, indexes, foreign keys, and data types. It maps these structures to Tableau's data source model, automatically handling type conversions, join relationships, and extract optimization. When your MySQL schema evolves, Redbird propagates changes to Tableau data sources and flags impacted dashboards. The AI recognizes patterns like dimension/fact relationships, time-series data, and slowly-changing dimensions to configure optimal Tableau connections.

Auto-generated reports

Redbird can pull from MySQL and Tableau 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 MySQL or Tableau.

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 MySQL into Tableau, or from Tableau back into MySQL. 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 MySQL database event or Tableau user interaction and chain actions across both systems.
