Why teams connect Asana and Ironclad

Stop re-entering the same information in Asana and Ironclad: Stacksync keeps the records they share consistent in real time, in both directions.

Two tools in the daily stack often hold overlapping information: the same people, the same companies, or the same pieces of work, described twice. The tools do different jobs, so consolidating is not the answer; the overlap just needs to stop drifting.

Stacksync syncs Sections, Custom fields, Stories, Users in Asana with Webhooks, Workflow Approvals, Signature Packets, Workflow Documents in Ironclad in real time. You choose which records overlap, map the fields that should match, and pick a direction or let changes flow both ways. From then on, an update made in either tool is reflected in the other within seconds, without exports or copy-paste.

Because the sync is field-level, each tool keeps its own extras; only the shared data is held in agreement.

Common use cases

  • 01 Mirror Projects, Sections, and Portfolios into a warehouse for cross-team reporting on status, timelines, and workload without CSV exports.
  • 02 Push support tickets or intake requests from an operational database into Asana Tasks, then read completion and status Custom fields back when work finishes.
  • 03 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.
  • 04 Pull executed contract PDFs from Records attachments into a document store or archive as each workflow completes.

Common sync patterns

Where Ironclad is where the team documents or plans: keep its data fed

Information that originates in Asana stays current in Ironclad instead of going stale after a one-time paste.

Handoffs between teams

When work started in one tool continues in the other, the shared fields travel with it automatically.

Where both tools track people or companies: one consistent record

Contact and company details corrected in either tool update the other, so nobody works from the old version.

What you can sync between Asana 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.

Asana objects Ironclad objects How this pairing syncs
Tasks The primary unit of work and main record; created, updated, completed, and deleted via REST and synced two-way. Subtasks are Tasks with a parent reference. 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. Tasks is specific to Asana and Webhooks to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Projects Collections of Tasks with a layout (list, board, timeline, calendar); each project maps to a synced table scope and its custom fields define the mapping. 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 Asana and Workflow Approvals to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sections Ordered groupings of Tasks within a project; synced as a grouping attribute or category field on the row. 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. Sections is specific to Asana and Signature Packets to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Custom fields Typed fields (text, number, enum, multi-enum, date, people) defined at project or workspace level; mapped to database columns, with enum values written by option GID. Workflow Documents Draft and executed documents attached to a workflow; retrieved to pull generated or signed files out into a document store or archive. Custom fields is specific to Asana and Workflow Documents to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Stories Comments and activity entries on a Task; read out for history and reporting or written back as comments. 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. Stories is specific to Asana and Workflows to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users Members of a workspace or organization referenced by assignee and follower fields; read to resolve GIDs to names and emails. 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. Users is specific to Asana and Records to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Asana 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.

Asana Ironclad Sub-second propagation

DetectionAsana notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Resource-scoped webhooks (established with an X-Hook-Secret handshake) POST events on create, change, and delete.

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

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Asana: Per token: 1,500 requests/minute on paid plans, 150/minute on free; the Search API is capped at 60/minute; concurrency caps at 50 GET and 15 write requests. Exceeding a limit returns HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header, and a separate cost-based limiter applies to complex graph traversals.
  • 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 Asana and Ironclad connectors work

Asana

OAuth 2.0 for multi-user apps, Personal Access Tokens (PATs) for single-account use and testing, and organization-scoped Service Accounts (Enterprise) for admin-level access
Change detection
Resource-scoped webhooks (established with an X-Hook-Secret handshake) POST events on create, change, and delete; the sync-token Events API returns incremental changes on a task or project when webhooks are not used

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.
