Why teams connect Adobe Sign and Greenhouse

Keep the people, teams, and status that Adobe Sign and Greenhouse 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. Greenhouse 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 Agreements, Agreement Form Field Data, Agreement Events, Library Templates in Adobe Sign with Scorecards, Scheduled Interviews, Users, Departments and Offices in Greenhouse bi-directionally and in real time. A person added, moved, or offboarded in Greenhouse 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 Greenhouse 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 Stream the per-agreement Agreement Events audit trail into a compliance database for retention and who-signed-what reporting.
  • 02 Read Widget submissions from embedded web signing forms into a database to trigger onboarding or contract-fulfillment workflows.
  • 03 Two-way sync Candidates and Applications with Postgres so recruiting-ops apps read and update stage, status, and custom fields in SQL while recruiters stay in Greenhouse.
  • 04 Write enriched or sourced Candidates from external tools into Greenhouse and keep contact fields refreshed as data changes.

Common sync patterns

Offboarding: no standing access after a departure

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

One employee directory

A person's name, title, contact details, or status corrected in either system updates the other, so both sides stop maintaining separate copies of the same person.

Org and team structure kept current

Department, team, and reporting-line changes from Greenhouse keep the groups, queues, or projects in Adobe Sign assigned to the right people.

What you can sync between Adobe Sign and Greenhouse

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 Greenhouse objects How this pairing syncs
Users Account users; provisioned and updated two-way from an HR system or identity provider. Users Greenhouse users (recruiters, hiring managers); read and written, and referenced by the On-Behalf-Of header on every write. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Groups Organizational groups that scope sharing and settings; synced from org structure or an IdP. Departments and Offices Org structure attached to Jobs; read and written to keep reporting hierarchies aligned with an HRIS or warehouse. Groups is specific to Adobe Sign and Departments and Offices to Greenhouse — 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. Candidates Person records with contact details, tags, and custom fields; read and written via Harvest, often created from sourcing or enrichment pipelines. Agreements is specific to Adobe Sign and Candidates to Greenhouse — 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. Applications Links a Candidate to a Job; carries current stage, status, and source. Movable, rejectable, and hireable through Harvest write calls. Agreement Form Field Data is specific to Adobe Sign and Applications to Greenhouse — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Agreement Events Per-agreement audit trail of every action (viewed, delegated, signed); read-only, synced into compliance stores. Jobs Requisitions with openings, hiring team, departments, and offices; created and patched via Harvest, read out for funnel and time-to-fill reporting. Agreement Events is specific to Adobe Sign and Jobs to Greenhouse — 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. Offers Offer records tied to an Application with status and custom offer fields; readable and patchable, commonly synced to HRIS on hire. Library Templates is specific to Adobe Sign and Offers to Greenhouse — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Adobe Sign and Greenhouse

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 Greenhouse 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 Greenhouse through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Greenhouse Adobe Sign Sub-second propagation

DetectionGreenhouse notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. HMAC-SHA256 signed webhooks for candidate, application, job, and interview events, plus polling list endpoints with created_after / updated_after /.

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.
  • Greenhouse: Harvest enforces a per-integration limit over a rolling 10-second window (X-RateLimit-Limit, commonly 50 requests / 10s for approved integrations); responses carry X-RateLimit-Remaining and, on a 429, X-RateLimit-Reset and Retry-After.
