Why teams connect AWS S3 and Ironclad

Get the data locked inside Ironclad into AWS S3 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 Webhooks, Workflow Approvals, Signature Packets, Workflow Documents from Ironclad into tables in AWS S3 continuously, handling schema, rate limits, and retries. Because the sync is bi-directional, results computed in AWS S3 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 Trigger incremental sync runs from S3 event notifications when new files land in a prefix.
  • 04 Stage bulk loads for warehouses that ingest from object storage.

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 AWS S3 sync back onto records in Ironclad, putting analysis where the work happens.

History that outlives the tool

A continuously synced copy in AWS S3 preserves a queryable record even as data ages out of Ironclad or gets changed inside it.

What you can sync between AWS S3 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 S3 objects Ironclad objects How this pairing syncs
Prefixes Key-name paths used to partition synced datasets, since S3 has no real directories. 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. Prefixes is specific to AWS S3 and Workflow Approvals to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Object Metadata System and user-defined metadata read alongside object contents. 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. Object Metadata is specific to AWS S3 and Signature Packets to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Object Versions Prior copies retained when versioning is enabled, relevant for reprocessing. Workflow Documents Draft and executed documents attached to a workflow; retrieved to pull generated or signed files out into a document store or archive. Object Versions is specific to AWS S3 and Workflow Documents to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Event Notifications Notifications on object creation or deletion that trigger incremental processing. 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. Event Notifications is specific to AWS S3 and Workflows to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Access Points Scoped network endpoints used to grant a sync narrow access to a bucket. 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. Access Points is specific to AWS S3 and Records to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Multipart Uploads The mechanism used to write large export files reliably. 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. Multipart Uploads is specific to AWS S3 and Entities to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between AWS S3 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 S3 Ironclad Sub-second propagation

DetectionAWS S3 notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. S3 Event Notifications on object create/delete delivered to SQS, SNS, Lambda, or EventBridge.

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

Ironclad AWS S3 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 AWS S3 through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • AWS S3: Request throughput scales per prefix; sustained high-volume workloads should spread keys across prefixes.
  • 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 AWS S3 and Ironclad connectors work

AWS S3

Integration surface
REST API (the S3 API), accessed directly or through AWS SDKs
Authentication
AWS IAM credentials with SigV4 signing; commonly a role scoped to specific buckets and prefixes
Change detection
S3 Event Notifications on object create/delete delivered to SQS, SNS, Lambda, or EventBridge; list-based polling as a fallback
Capabilities

Rate limits

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.
