Why teams connect Adobe Sign and Namely

Keep the people, teams, and status that Adobe Sign and Namely 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. Namely 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 Agreement Form Field Data, Agreement Events, Library Templates, Widgets in Adobe Sign with Job Tiers, Groups, Teams, Reports in Namely bi-directionally and in real time. A person added, moved, or offboarded in Namely 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 Namely 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 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 Provision or deprovision accounts in an IdP or directory when a Profile's user_status or start_date changes, and write the resulting user ID and email back onto the Profile.
  • 04 Map Job Titles and Job Tiers into a warehouse dimension table so leveling and seniority stay consistent across HR, finance, and BI reporting.

Common sync patterns

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

When someone changes teams or managers in Namely, 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 Namely 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 Namely, 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 Namely

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 Namely objects How this pairing syncs
Groups Organizational groups that scope sharing and settings; synced from org structure or an IdP. Groups Departments and locations that organize Profiles; synced to keep org structure aligned with a warehouse or IdP. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Widgets Reusable web signing forms with a public URL; submissions read out to trigger downstream onboarding or fulfillment. Job Tiers Leveling hierarchy grouping zero-to-many Job Titles; read to map seniority into warehouse dimension tables. Widgets is specific to Adobe Sign and Job Tiers to Namely — 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. Teams Teams and team categories a Profile belongs to; read and written for org-chart and provisioning workflows. MegaSign is specific to Adobe Sign and Teams to Namely — 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. Reports Saved Namely reports returned as JSON snapshots that update instantly; read-only feeds for headcount and roster analytics. Users is specific to Adobe Sign and Reports to Namely — 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. Profile Fields Metadata describing standard and company-defined custom field sections; read to discover schema and generate mappings. Agreements is specific to Adobe Sign and Profile Fields to Namely — 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. Events Home-feed items such as announcements, birthdays, anniversaries, and new arrivals; typically read-only into comms tools. Agreement Form Field Data is specific to Adobe Sign and Events to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Adobe Sign and Namely

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

Namely Adobe Sign Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Namely for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No webhooks.

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.
  • Namely: Namely's public docs do not publish a fixed request quota; the REST API returns standard HTTP status codes, so integrations should throttle and back off on 429/5xx responses.
