What you can automate today

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

Auto-update employee contact information in Outlook from Workday records

When employee details change in Workday—title, department, manager, location—automatically update their contact card and directory information in Outlook. Ensure your entire organization has accurate contact data without IT manually syncing global address lists.

Create Workday offboarding tasks when exit interview meetings are scheduled

When an exit interview or final meeting appears on a manager's Outlook calendar, trigger offboarding workflow tasks in Workday. Automatically initiate equipment return, access revocation, and knowledge transfer checklists based on calendar events.

Sync new hire start dates from Workday to manager calendars

When a new employee record is created in Workday with a start date, automatically block time on their manager's and team's Outlook calendars for onboarding activities. Include orientation schedules, team introductions, and first-week check-ins as calendar events.

Capture interview scheduling data to measure recruiting time-to-fill metrics

Track all interview-tagged calendar events from Outlook and push scheduling metadata to Workday recruiting records. Calculate days-to-interview, interview-to-offer timelines, and recruiter calendar utilization without manual time tracking or spreadsheet exports.

Alert HR when managers schedule performance review meetings outside policy windows

Monitor Outlook calendars for performance review or check-in meetings scheduled by people managers. Cross-reference timing against Workday performance cycle dates and alert HR when reviews are scheduled too early, too late, or skipped entirely.

Enrich Workday absence records with actual meeting cancellation patterns

When employees cancel multiple meetings or mark extended out-of-office periods in Outlook, cross-reference with Workday absence and time-off data. Flag discrepancies between recorded PTO and actual calendar behavior for compliance and workforce planning accuracy.

Live in four steps

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

01

Connect your accounts

Authorize Outlook and Workday 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 the relationship between Outlook's communication data and Workday's organizational structure, so you can automate workflows that depend on both systems without building custom integrations.

AI that speaks both Outlook calendar schemas and Workday HR data models

Redbird maps Outlook contact attributes, calendar metadata, meeting attendees, and email domains to Workday employee IDs, organizational hierarchies, supervisory structures, and job profiles. Our AI understands how to match calendar participants to employee records, resolve reporting relationships from email addresses, and sync time-sensitive HR events with communication workflows. No need to build lookup tables or maintain manual ID mappings between Microsoft 365 and Workday tenant data.
