Connect Planful and
PostgreSQL with AI

Automate the flow of financial data between your planning platform and operational database. Stop manually exporting budget files, running SQL scripts to load forecasts, or reconciling actuals across systems.

What you can automate today

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

Sync approved budgets from Planful into PostgreSQL data warehouse tables

When finance locks a budget version in Planful, automatically write dimensional budget data to PostgreSQL staging tables. Redbird maps account hierarchies, cost centers, and time periods to your warehouse schema, keeping operational dashboards aligned with the latest approved plan.

Load actuals from PostgreSQL into Planful for automated variance analysis

Pull monthly actuals from your operational PostgreSQL database and push them into Planful's actuals cube. Redbird handles account mapping, currency conversions, and entity alignment so finance teams can run variance reports without manual data prep.

Archive completed forecast scenarios to PostgreSQL for historical trend analysis

When quarterly forecasts close in Planful, archive scenario data to PostgreSQL for long-term storage and analysis. Maintain a complete audit trail of forecast assumptions, driver changes, and scenario comparisons across planning cycles.

Enrich Planful driver tables with real-time operational metrics from PostgreSQL

Automatically update headcount, unit volumes, and operational KPIs in Planful using live data from your PostgreSQL application database. Keep planning models current without exporting CSV files or running manual data imports.

Generate board reports by joining Planful financial data with PostgreSQL operational tables

Combine budget-vs-actuals from Planful with customer metrics, product performance, and operational data stored in PostgreSQL. Redbird joins datasets across systems and generates executive-ready reports without moving data into spreadsheets.

Alert finance when PostgreSQL transaction volumes exceed Planful budget thresholds

Monitor operational activity in PostgreSQL against budget assumptions in Planful. Trigger notifications when actuals trends suggest forecast revisions are needed, enabling proactive reforecasting instead of reactive month-end surprises.

Live in four steps

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

01

Connect your accounts

Authorize Planful and PostgreSQL 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 Planful's dimensional model—accounts, entities, versions, and time periods—and how to map those structures to PostgreSQL's relational schema.

AI that speaks both financial planning semantics and SQL

Redbird interprets Planful's cube structure, account hierarchies, and version control logic while understanding your PostgreSQL table schemas, foreign key relationships, and data types. It automatically handles dimension mapping between Planful's planning model and your database's normalized tables, resolving entity codes, account segments, and time period formats. When forecast versions change or new chart-of-account mappings are added, Redbird adapts the sync logic without requiring ETL rewrites.

faster than building custom ETL scripts to sync Planful and PostgreSQL

No SQL scripting, stored procedures, or manual CSV exports required

Auto-generated reports

Redbird can pull from Planful and PostgreSQL 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 Planful or PostgreSQL.

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 Planful into PostgreSQL, or from PostgreSQL back into Planful. 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 workflows from budget approvals in Planful or data changes in PostgreSQL—Redbird responds to events in either system.
