What you can automate today

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

Create Trello cards when Planful budget cycles start or close

Automatically generate task cards in Trello when budget planning cycles open in Planful. Each card includes cycle deadlines, responsible owners, and completion checklists. Finance teams stay coordinated without manual board updates.

Alert teams in Trello when Planful variance thresholds are exceeded

Push alert cards to designated Trello boards when variance analysis in Planful identifies actuals that exceed budget by defined thresholds. Cards include variance amounts, affected accounts, and investigation owners. Teams respond to planning exceptions immediately.

Sync Planful consolidation status to Trello close calendar boards

Update Trello cards with real-time consolidation progress from Planful during month-end and quarter-end close processes. Cards move across board stages as entities complete submissions. Controllers get visual close tracking without status meeting overhead.

Generate Planful scenario planning tasks from Trello strategic initiative cards

When strategic project cards reach planning stages in Trello, automatically create corresponding scenario modeling tasks in Planful. Finance receives context, assumptions, and timeline requirements from operational teams. Strategic planning stays connected to execution tracking.

Update Trello with Planful report publication milestones and board package status

Automatically create and update Trello cards when board reports and financial packages are published in Planful. Cards include report links, distribution lists, and presentation schedules. Stakeholders track deliverables without email threads.

Log Trello card completions as planning task sign-offs in Planful

When assigned budget review or forecast input cards are marked complete in Trello, record sign-off status and timestamps in corresponding Planful workflows. Finance tracks stakeholder participation and cycle completion. No double-entry between systems.

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 Trello 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 planning cycles, consolidation hierarchies, and variance structures alongside Trello's board layouts, card workflows, and team assignments.

AI that reads planning cycles and project boards

Redbird maps Planful budget cycles, forecast versions, entity hierarchies, and account dimensions to Trello boards, lists, cards, labels, and member assignments. The AI understands when planning milestones trigger task creation, how variance alerts should populate card details, and which consolidation statuses map to board stages. You define business logic once; Redbird maintains the sync as planning structures and project workflows evolve.
