What you can automate today

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

Auto-create Xero invoices from Outlook emails with attachments

When sales emails arrive with quote approvals or PO confirmations, Redbird extracts customer details, line items, and terms to create draft invoices in Xero. Attachment data is parsed and mapped to the correct customer and product codes automatically.

Capture expense receipts from email and create Xero bills

Redbird monitors Outlook for receipt emails from vendors, extracts supplier name, amount, date, and category, then creates matching bills in Xero ready for approval. Team members simply forward receipts to a designated address or folder.

Send overdue invoice reminders via Outlook automatically

When invoices in Xero pass due dates, Redbird triggers personalized reminder emails from Outlook to the right contacts. Email content includes current balance, invoice number, and payment link, maintaining your brand voice and signature.

Sync client payment confirmations back to Xero transactions

When customers reply to invoice emails confirming payment or providing transfer details, Redbird flags the corresponding Xero invoice, adds notes, and can trigger reconciliation workflows. Finance teams see email context directly in the accounting record.

Email weekly cash flow summaries to leadership from Xero data

Redbird pulls accounts receivable aging, cash position, and outstanding payables from Xero, then generates executive-friendly summaries sent via Outlook every Monday. No spreadsheet exports or manual report assembly required.

Archive vendor invoice emails and link to Xero bill records

As bills are entered in Xero, Redbird searches Outlook for the original vendor email and attachment, then archives it with a reference link in both systems. Create an audit trail connecting every bill to its source communication automatically.

Live in four steps

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

Redbird shows you exactly what it will do before running anything. Approve the workflow, set a schedule, and switch it on.

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 both Outlook's message structure and metadata alongside Xero's accounting schema, mapping email content to invoices, bills, contacts, and transactions intelligently.

AI that reads email like your finance team does

Redbird parses Outlook email bodies, subject lines, and attachments to identify financial documents, then maps the data to Xero's customer records, chart of accounts, tax rates, and tracking categories. The AI recognizes invoice formats, receipt structures, and payment confirmations across different vendors, extracting amounts, dates, and line items without templates. When creating emails from Xero data, Redbird formats financial information clearly and routes messages to the correct contacts with proper threading.
