What you can automate today

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

Sync Workday headcount and attrition data to live Power BI dashboards

Automatically pull current employee counts, new hires, terminations, and turnover metrics from Workday into Power BI datasets. Keep executive dashboards updated with real-time workforce KPIs without manual exports or scheduled ETL jobs.

Update Power BI compensation and salary band reports from Workday changes

When compensation reviews complete or salary adjustments are processed in Workday, sync updated pay data to Power BI reports. Finance and HR leaders see current compensation analysis without waiting for month-end data refreshes.

Alert HR leaders in Workday when Power BI detects attrition anomalies

When Power BI analysis identifies departments with unusual turnover spikes or retention risks, create alerts or tasks in Workday for HR business partners. Connect analytics insights directly to the system where action happens.

Enrich Power BI workforce reports with Workday organizational hierarchy data

Automatically sync org structure, cost centers, supervisory relationships, and job family metadata from Workday into Power BI datasets. Build drillable dashboards that reflect the actual organizational structure without manual mapping tables.

Archive Power BI workforce analytics snapshots back to Workday custom objects

Capture monthly or quarterly workforce analytics outputs from Power BI and store them as historical records in Workday custom objects. Maintain audit trails of headcount forecasts, diversity metrics, or labor cost projections alongside transactional HR data.

Automate departmental headcount variance reporting from Workday actuals to Power BI budgets

Compare actual headcount and labor costs from Workday against budget targets stored in Power BI datasets. Generate automated variance reports for finance reviews, highlighting departments over or under hiring plans without manual reconciliation.

Live in four steps

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

01

Connect your accounts

Authorize Power BI 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 AI understands both Power BI's semantic models and Workday's HR and finance data structures, so you can automate workforce analytics without building custom APIs or writing transformation scripts.

AI that speaks Power BI datasets and Workday business objects

Redbird maps Workday worker records, compensation elements, position hierarchies, and custom fields directly to Power BI tables and measures. It understands how to join employee data to cost centers, map supervisory orgs to report hierarchies, and handle effective-dated Workday records in time-series visualizations. When Workday schemas change or Power BI models are updated, Redbird adapts the integration automatically.
