Why teams connect Apache Kylin and Ironclad

Get the data locked inside Ironclad into Apache Kylin as live tables, and send results back where Ironclad can use them, without writing a pipeline.

Apache Kylin is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into Ironclad, so Ironclad always reflects the current state of Apache Kylin — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.

Whatever Ironclad is used for, it accumulates data the rest of the company wants to analyze, and that data usually sits behind an API rather than in the warehouse. Building and babysitting an extraction pipeline is the tax most teams pay for it.

Common use cases

  • 01 Stream workflow approval and signature webhook events into an operational database for cycle-time, bottleneck, and SLA reporting across the contract lifecycle.
  • 02 Push Obligations and renewal dates from Ironclad into a finance or task system so post-signature commitments and renewals are tracked and actioned on time.
  • 03 Expose Kylin query results to operational dashboards without granting access to the underlying Hadoop data.
  • 04 Sync Kylin aggregates into a cloud warehouse to combine them with data Kylin does not cover.

Common sync patterns

History that outlives the tool

A continuously synced copy in Apache Kylin preserves a queryable record even as data ages out of Ironclad or gets changed inside it.

Analytics on Ironclad's data

Records and events from Ironclad land in Apache Kylin as queryable tables, current within seconds and ready to join with the rest of the warehouse.

Cross-tool reporting

Combine Ironclad's data with data from every other synced system to answer questions no single tool can.

What you can sync between Apache Kylin 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.

Apache Kylin objects Ironclad objects How this pairing syncs
Build Jobs Batch jobs that compute or refresh segments, monitored via the REST 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. Build Jobs is specific to Apache Kylin and Webhooks to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Projects Top-level workspaces that group models, tables, and jobs. 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. Projects is specific to Apache Kylin and Workflow Approvals to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Models Star-schema definitions over source tables that determine what can be queried. Signature Packets The e-signature packets on a workflow (sent, signatures collected, fully signed); read to track signing progress, with packet events delivered by webhook for real-time status. Models is specific to Apache Kylin and Signature Packets to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Cubes / Indexes Pre-computed aggregate structures that answer queries at low latency. Workflow Documents Draft and executed documents attached to a workflow; retrieved to pull generated or signed files out into a document store or archive. Cubes / Indexes is specific to Apache Kylin and Workflow Documents to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Source Tables Hive or other upstream tables that builds read from. 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. Source Tables is specific to Apache Kylin and Workflows to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Segments Time-ranged build units that partition pre-computed data. 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. Segments is specific to Apache Kylin and Records to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Apache Kylin 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.

Apache Kylin Ironclad Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Apache Kylin for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Data freshness follows segment build and refresh jobs, so integrations poll query results.

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

Ironclad Apache Kylin 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.

DeliveryApache Kylin does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: Apache Kylin's output flows back as field updates on the originating Ironclad records.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Apache Kylin: No fixed API quotas; query capacity depends on the deployment and pre-computed index coverage.
  • 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.

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.
