Why teams connect Apache Pinot and Ironclad

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

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.

Stacksync syncs Workflow Documents, Workflows, Records, Entities from Ironclad into tables in Apache Pinot continuously, handling schema, rate limits, and retries. Because the sync is bi-directional, results computed in Apache Pinot can also be written back into fields in Ironclad where the tool can use them.

Common use cases

  • 01 Pull executed contract PDFs from Records attachments into a document store or archive as each workflow completes.
  • 02 Two-way sync Ironclad Records with a warehouse or ERP so executed-contract value, counterparty, renewal dates, and status stay current without manual re-keying.
  • 03 Keep upsert-enabled real-time tables aligned with mutable operational records streamed from source systems.
  • 04 Query per-account usage metrics from Pinot and sync them into CRM fields so sales sees product activity.

Common sync patterns

Cross-tool reporting

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

Where Ironclad accepts updates: operational write-back

Segments, scores, or reference values computed in Apache Pinot sync back onto records in Ironclad, putting analysis where the work happens.

History that outlives the tool

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

What you can sync between Apache Pinot 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 Pinot objects Ironclad objects How this pairing syncs
Tenants Logical groupings that isolate workloads on shared clusters. Workflow Documents Draft and executed documents attached to a workflow; retrieved to pull generated or signed files out into a document store or archive. Tenants is specific to Apache Pinot and Workflow Documents to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables The queryable unit, defined as offline, real-time, or hybrid; the main read target. 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. Tables is specific to Apache Pinot and Workflows to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Column definitions (dimensions, metrics, time columns) mapped during integration setup. 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. Schemas is specific to Apache Pinot and Records to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Segments Immutable data files that batch ingestion uploads and the cluster serves. 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. Segments is specific to Apache Pinot and Entities to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Real-time Tables Tables fed continuously from streams like Kafka, including upsert-enabled tables. Obligations Post-signature commitments, milestones, and renewal dates tied to contracts; synced two-way to drive renewal, compliance, and finance reporting in downstream systems. Real-time Tables is specific to Apache Pinot and Obligations to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Offline Tables Batch-loaded tables merged with real-time data at query time. 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. Offline Tables is specific to Apache Pinot and Webhooks to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Apache Pinot 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 Pinot Ironclad Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Apache Pinot for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Data enters Pinot via streaming ingestion or segment upload, not row-level writes.

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

Ironclad Apache Pinot 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 applied to Apache Pinot as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Apache Pinot: No fixed API quotas; query throughput depends on broker and server sizing.
  • 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 Apache Pinot and Ironclad connectors work

Apache Pinot

Integration surface
REST API (SQL queries via the broker; administration via the controller); JDBC client available
Authentication
Deployment-dependent: HTTP basic authentication or token-based auth where enabled
Change detection
Not applicable for reads out (polling by time column); data enters Pinot via streaming ingestion or segment upload, not row-level writes
Capabilities

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.
