Why teams connect AWS Aurora MySQL and Ironclad

Mirror Ironclad's data into AWS Aurora MySQL so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.

Engineers integrate with tools like Ironclad through APIs, which means auth, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and retry logic, all maintained forever and all different for every tool. Meanwhile the data would be trivial to use if it simply lived in AWS Aurora MySQL.

Stacksync mirrors Obligations, Webhooks, Workflow Approvals, Signature Packets from Ironclad into Primary keys and indexes, Views, Foreign keys, Stored procedures and triggers in AWS Aurora MySQL and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Your services query the database directly, and inserts or updates your code makes flow back into Ironclad, so the tool and the database never disagree.

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 Give backend services read and write access to ERP or billing data by syncing it into Aurora tables the application already queries.
  • 04 Stream row changes from Aurora into SaaS tools via binlog CDC instead of scheduled batch exports.

Common sync patterns

React to changes as they happen

Updates in Ironclad arrive as row changes in AWS Aurora MySQL, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

One integration pattern for the whole stack

Every synced tool looks the same from the database, so each new integration is configuration, not a new codebase.

Read Ironclad with a query

Records from Ironclad are ordinary rows in AWS Aurora MySQL; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

What you can sync between AWS Aurora MySQL 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.

AWS Aurora MySQL objects Ironclad objects How this pairing syncs
Tables The primary sync unit; each table maps one-to-one to a table or object in the paired system. 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. Tables is specific to AWS Aurora MySQL and Webhooks to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Rows Inserted, updated, and deleted individually or in bulk during two-way syncs. 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. Rows is specific to AWS Aurora MySQL and Workflow Approvals to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Columns MySQL data types are mapped to the paired system's field types during schema setup. 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. Columns is specific to AWS Aurora MySQL and Signature Packets to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Primary keys and indexes Used to match rows across systems and keep incremental syncs efficient. Workflow Documents Draft and executed documents attached to a workflow; retrieved to pull generated or signed files out into a document store or archive. Primary keys and indexes is specific to AWS Aurora MySQL and Workflow Documents to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Can serve as read-only sync sources for derived or filtered datasets. 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. Views is specific to AWS Aurora MySQL and Workflows to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Foreign keys Express relationships that syncs preserve when mapping to related objects elsewhere. 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. Foreign keys is specific to AWS Aurora MySQL and Records to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between AWS Aurora MySQL 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.

AWS Aurora MySQL Ironclad Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in AWS Aurora MySQL are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based CDC via the MySQL binary log (binlog), with polling on timestamp columns as a fallback.

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

Ironclad AWS Aurora MySQL 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 AWS Aurora MySQL as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • 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.

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.
