Why teams connect Adobe Sign and D2l Brightspace

Keep the people, teams, and status that Adobe Sign and D2l Brightspace share aligned in real time, so a hire, role change, or departure recorded in one reaches the other within seconds.

Each tool in Adobe Sign keeps its own list of who can use it: users, members, or agents, along with the team they sit on and whether they are still active. D2l Brightspace is the authoritative record of the same people as employees, with their department, manager, and employment status. When those two are connected only by manual account admin or a periodic export, the work tools drift: new hires wait days for access, team and manager changes never catch up, and people who have left keep standing accounts.

Stacksync syncs Users, Groups, Agreements, Agreement Form Field Data in Adobe Sign with Content (Modules, Topics, and User Progress), Quizzes, Assignments (Dropbox), Groups and Sections in D2l Brightspace bi-directionally and in real time. A person added, moved, or offboarded in D2l Brightspace creates or updates the matching user in Adobe Sign within seconds, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution in place of spreadsheets and one-off account changes. Where Adobe Sign captures details of its own, such as a corrected contact or a login identity, those can flow back to D2l Brightspace in whichever direction you configure.

Because the sync is field-level, each system keeps its own extras; only the shared facts, who a person is, which team they belong to, and whether their access should be on, are held in agreement.

Common use cases

  • 01 Create and send an Agreement for signature automatically when a CRM opportunity or database row becomes send-ready, then write the agreement status and signed-document reference back onto that record.
  • 02 Sync completed Agreements and their Agreement Form Field Data into a Postgres warehouse so operations and finance query signer inputs (contract value, effective dates, checkbox selections) in SQL.
  • 03 Provision Org Units such as course offerings and sections, then enroll learners from an operational database when a cohort or class is created upstream.
  • 04 Pull Content user progress and Quiz attempt results into a Postgres warehouse for engagement and completion analytics.

Common sync patterns

Where Adobe Sign routes or assigns work by person: assignments follow the org

When someone changes teams or managers in D2l Brightspace, the queues, ownership, or approvals in Adobe Sign update to match, so work reaches whoever holds the role now.

Onboarding: access ready on day one

A new hire recorded in D2l Brightspace creates the matching user in Adobe Sign with the right team and manager already set, so people can start working without waiting on a provisioning ticket.

Offboarding: no standing access after a departure

When someone is marked as leaving in D2l Brightspace, the matching account in Adobe Sign is deactivated or flagged, so departures do not leave open access behind.

What you can sync between Adobe Sign and D2l Brightspace

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Adobe Sign objects D2l Brightspace objects How this pairing syncs
Users Account users; provisioned and updated two-way from an HR system or identity provider. Users User accounts in the Learning Platform (lp) component; created, read, updated, and deleted through the Valence API and typically synced two-way with an SIS or HRIS. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Agreement Events Per-agreement audit trail of every action (viewed, delegated, signed); read-only, synced into compliance stores. Quizzes Quiz objects and per-user attempts and results; attempt data is read out for engagement and completion analytics. Agreement Events is specific to Adobe Sign and Quizzes to D2l Brightspace — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Library Templates Reusable document templates (libraryDocuments); referenced when creating Agreements and synced for template governance. Assignments (Dropbox) Dropbox folders, submissions, and feedback; submission and evaluation data is read into reporting systems and feedback can be written back. Library Templates is specific to Adobe Sign and Assignments (Dropbox) to D2l Brightspace — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Widgets Reusable web signing forms with a public URL; submissions read out to trigger downstream onboarding or fulfillment. Groups and Sections Group categories, groups, and section membership within an org unit; enrollments are read and written to keep cohort assignments aligned. Widgets is specific to Adobe Sign and Groups and Sections to D2l Brightspace — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
MegaSign Bulk-send parent objects that fan one document out to many recipients; child agreements are tracked individually. Enrollments Links between Users and Org Units; enroll/unenroll and batch-enrollment routes let rosters be written from an upstream system and read back for reporting. MegaSign is specific to Adobe Sign and Enrollments to D2l Brightspace — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Groups Organizational groups that scope sharing and settings; synced from org structure or an IdP. Org Units The org structure — course offerings, sections, departments, and semesters; read for hierarchy and created/updated to provision courses from a database. Groups is specific to Adobe Sign and Org Units to D2l Brightspace — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Adobe Sign and D2l Brightspace

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

DetectionAdobe Sign notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks (REST v6 webhook subscriptions) fire near-real-time on agreement events such as created, action requested, completed, and cancelled.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to D2l Brightspace through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Adobe Sign through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Adobe Sign: Per-user throttling at minute, hour, and day tiers shared between web UI and API traffic; exceeding a tier returns HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header. Exponential backoff with jitter is recommended.
  • D2l Brightspace: Per-caller token-bucket credit scheme; each route costs credits, responses carry X-Rate-Limit-Remaining, and over-quota calls return HTTP 429. D2L can adjust per-route credit costs.
