Why teams connect Adobe Sign and Gmail

Sync the people, users, and work records in Adobe Sign with the calls, messages, and events in Gmail, in real time and in both directions.

Adobe Sign holds the records a team works from: the contacts, the tickets or tasks, the users, and the history attached to each. Gmail moves the actual communication, whether that is a call, a text, an email, or a meeting, and every one of those is tied to a person and often to a user on your side. When the two are connected only by manual entry or a nightly export, the communication happens in one system while the record it belongs to sits in another, so people rebuild context by hand and reach out from contact lists that are already out of date.

Stacksync syncs MegaSign, Users, Groups, Agreements in Adobe Sign with Attachments, History, Messages, Threads in Gmail bi-directionally and in real time. Contacts and users maintained in Adobe Sign feed Gmail so outbound dialing, messaging, and invites reach current numbers and addresses, and the calls, messages, and meeting events Gmail produces attach to the matching record in Adobe Sign within seconds. Everything is mapped field by field, with conflict resolution in place of copy-paste, and there is no middleware to build, no rate limits to babysit, and no batch job that leaves the morning running on yesterday's data.

Because the sync is field-level, each system keeps its own extras; only the shared people, users, and activity are held in agreement.

Common use cases

  • 01 Provision and deactivate Users and Groups from an HR system or identity provider so Acrobat Sign membership and group placement track employee status.
  • 02 Stream the per-agreement Agreement Events audit trail into a compliance database for retention and who-signed-what reporting.
  • 03 Create Drafts in a rep's mailbox from CRM templates and sequences, keeping sends authentic to the sender's address and signature.
  • 04 Read Attachments and message metadata into a warehouse or document store for retention, discovery, and compliance reporting.

Common sync patterns

One user and agent roster

Users kept in Adobe Sign map to accounts, seats, or extensions in Gmail, so the same people exist on both sides and ownership stays meaningful across the two systems.

Turn a communication into follow-up work

A completed call, an inbound message, or a delivery result in Gmail can create or update a ticket, task, or record in Adobe Sign, so nothing that happens on a call or in a thread gets dropped.

One contact master

A person's number, email, or contact preferences corrected in either system update the other, so the record and the channel that reaches them stay in agreement.

What you can sync between Adobe Sign and Gmail

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 Gmail objects How this pairing syncs
Widgets Reusable web signing forms with a public URL; submissions read out to trigger downstream onboarding or fulfillment. Attachments File payloads referenced by message part; read out to storage or a document system for archival and compliance workflows. Widgets is specific to Adobe Sign and Attachments to Gmail — 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. History The incremental change log keyed by historyId; used for efficient delta sync so only mailbox changes since the last cursor are fetched. MegaSign is specific to Adobe Sign and History to Gmail — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users Account users; provisioned and updated two-way from an HR system or identity provider. Messages Individual emails with headers, body, and label state; read out to a CRM or warehouse for activity logging, and sent or modified two-way from sales tools. Users is specific to Adobe Sign and Messages to Gmail — 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. Threads Conversation groupings that keep replies together; synced so a CRM timeline or support desk shows the full exchange, not isolated messages. Groups is specific to Adobe Sign and Threads to Gmail — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Agreements The core e-signature transaction; created and sent from other systems, then read back for status (out-for-signature, signed, cancelled) and the completed PDF. Labels User and system labels (INBOX, SENT, custom); applied and removed via sync to mirror pipeline stages or triage states from an external system. Agreements is specific to Adobe Sign and Labels to Gmail — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Agreement Form Field Data Merge fields prefilled at send and values captured from signers; read into a database so contract terms and inputs are queryable. Drafts Unsent messages; created and updated from templates or sequence tools so reps review before sending from their own mailbox. Agreement Form Field Data is specific to Adobe Sign and Drafts to Gmail — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Adobe Sign and Gmail

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.

Adobe Sign Gmail Sub-second propagation

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 Gmail 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.
  • Gmail: Quota is measured in units per user per second (e.g. messages.list = 5 units, messages.send = 100 units) against a 250 quota-unit/user/second limit and a daily project cap; exceeding limits returns 429 with exponential backoff expected.
