Why teams connect Anaplan and Ironclad

Connect the financial records in Anaplan with the work happening in Ironclad, so both stay current without exports or copy-paste.

Anaplan holds the financial truth: who the customers are, what they were billed, what they paid. Ironclad is where part of the day-to-day work happens, and that work often involves the same customers and transactions. Without a live connection, the two drift apart, and people end up answering questions from stale copies.

Stacksync keeps Models, Modules, Line Items, Lists in Anaplan and Obligations, Webhooks, Workflow Approvals, Signature Packets in Ironclad in sync, bi-directionally and in real time. Whatever records Ironclad keeps and whatever events it produces, the overlap with Anaplan is mapped field by field, and a change on either side shows up on the other within seconds.

There is no middleware to build, no API rate limits to babysit, and no nightly job that leaves the morning running on yesterday's data.

Common use cases

  • 01 Push approved plan and target numbers from Anaplan back to the CRM or compensation systems.
  • 02 Keep dimension lists (products, cost centers, territories) aligned with master data systems of record.
  • 03 Sync Entities (counterparties) two-way with a CRM or ERP so company and vendor master data matches across the CLM and the systems of record.
  • 04 Stream workflow approval and signature webhook events into an operational database for cycle-time, bottleneck, and SLA reporting across the contract lifecycle.

Common sync patterns

Where Ironclad collects payments or triggers charges: events land in Anaplan

Payment and charge activity flows into Anaplan as it happens, so the books reflect reality without manual reconciliation.

Where Ironclad tracks people or companies: one identity

A customer's details updated in either system update the other, so finance and the rest of the business stop maintaining two versions of the same customer.

Where Ironclad is a docs or knowledge workspace: reference data kept fresh

Figures teams rely on, like customer status or outstanding balances, stay current wherever Ironclad surfaces them instead of going stale after a one-time paste.

What you can sync between Anaplan and Ironclad

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.

Anaplan objects Ironclad objects How this pairing syncs
List Items Individual dimension members created or updated from external systems of record. Workflows The core unit of Ironclad: a live contract process (NDA, MSA, order form) moving through creation, review, approval, and signature. Launched via POST, updated via PATCH, and read for status, so contract processes move two-way between Ironclad and a database, CRM, or ERP. List Items is specific to Anaplan and Workflows to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Versions Scenario dimensions (actual, budget, forecast) that scope which slice a sync reads or writes. Records The Repository of executed and stored contracts with metadata (value, counterparty, key dates, type) and attachments; full create, read, update, and delete so signed-contract data and PDFs sync to a warehouse, ERP, or CRM. Versions is specific to Anaplan and Records to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Import and Export Actions Predefined data-movement definitions the Bulk API executes. Entities Structured records for counterparties and other parties linked to workflows and records; read and written to keep company and vendor master data aligned with a CRM or ERP. Import and Export Actions is specific to Anaplan and Entities to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Processes Ordered bundles of actions run as a unit during scheduled syncs. Obligations Post-signature commitments, milestones, and renewal dates tied to contracts; synced two-way to drive renewal, compliance, and finance reporting in downstream systems. Processes is specific to Anaplan and Obligations to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Cell Data Individual intersections readable and writable through the transactional API. Webhooks Event subscriptions that push workflow, approval, signature, document, and comment changes to Stacksync in near real time; created, listed, and deleted through the API across 40+ event types. Cell Data is specific to Anaplan and Webhooks to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Models The planning workspaces that contain all data; syncs target a specific model. Workflow Approvals Per-workflow approval requests and their state; read to report approval status and cycle time, and status changes arrive live through the workflow_approval_status_changed event. Models is specific to Anaplan and Workflow Approvals to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Anaplan and Ironclad

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.

Anaplan Ironclad Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Anaplan for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling and scheduled export actions.

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

Ironclad Anaplan Sub-second propagation

DetectionIronclad notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Native webhook subscriptions (POST /webhooks) fire on 40+ workflow, approval, signature, document, and comment events, and Ironclad retries a failing.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Anaplan: Subject to the platform's API rate limits; large data movements are designed to run through bulk actions.
  • Ironclad: Limits are enforced per account per minute by endpoint: GET Workflows 400 and POST/PATCH Workflows 40; GET Records 600 and POST/PATCH Records 200; GET Entities 600 and POST/PATCH Entities 200; Webhooks 600; all other endpoints 800. Exceeding a limit returns HTTP 429, and Ironclad recommends exponential backoff with jitter.

How the Anaplan and Ironclad connectors work

Anaplan

Integration surface
REST APIs: a Bulk API that runs predefined import/export actions and a transactional API for model metadata and cell data
Authentication
Token-based sessions obtained via basic authentication, CA certificates, or OAuth 2.0 through Anaplan's authentication service
Change detection
Polling and scheduled export actions; the platform does not expose change events

Ironclad

Integration surface
REST/JSON Public API (CLM API) at https://na1.ironcladapp.com/public/api/v1 (NA1 and EU1 regions plus a demo/sandbox), with a native Webhooks subscription API; described by an OpenAPI 3.1 spec.
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 - Authorization Code grant (PKCE for public clients) and Client Credentials grant for server-to-server; access tokens are Bearer, expire after 6 hours, and every endpoint is gated by a resource scope. The legacy static API bearer token was deprecated on 2024-11-22.
Change detection
Native webhook subscriptions (POST /webhooks) fire on 40+ workflow, approval, signature, document, and comment events, and Ironclad retries a failing endpoint up to 10 times over about 13.6 hours with exponential backoff. Otherwise poll the list endpoints by last-updated. There is no database change-data-capture log.
