Why teams connect Azure Cosmos DB and Ironclad

Mirror Ironclad's data into Azure Cosmos DB 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 Azure Cosmos DB.

Stacksync mirrors Records, Entities, Obligations, Webhooks from Ironclad into Partition keys, Change feed entries, Stored procedures and triggers, Databases in Azure Cosmos DB 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 Sync Entities (counterparties) two-way with a CRM or ERP so company and vendor master data matches across the CLM and the systems of record.
  • 02 Stream workflow approval and signature webhook events into an operational database for cycle-time, bottleneck, and SLA reporting across the contract lifecycle.
  • 03 Two-way sync between a Cosmos DB-backed product catalog and a PIM or commerce platform.
  • 04 Consolidate documents from multiple containers into a single reporting store.

Common sync patterns

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 Azure Cosmos DB; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

Automate Ironclad from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in Azure Cosmos DB and Stacksync propagates the change into Ironclad, replacing custom integration code.

What you can sync between Azure Cosmos DB 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.

Azure Cosmos DB objects Ironclad objects How this pairing syncs
Partition keys Determine data distribution and must be included on writes for the sync to route items correctly. Obligations Post-signature commitments, milestones, and renewal dates tied to contracts; synced two-way to drive renewal, compliance, and finance reporting in downstream systems. Partition keys is specific to Azure Cosmos DB and Obligations to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Change feed entries Ordered record of inserts and updates per partition, consumed for incremental sync. 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. Change feed entries is specific to Azure Cosmos DB and Webhooks to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Stored procedures and triggers Server-side logic scoped to a partition; relevant when writes must respect existing validation. 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. Stored procedures and triggers is specific to Azure Cosmos DB and Workflow Approvals to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Top-level namespaces that scope containers and throughput provisioning. 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. Databases is specific to Azure Cosmos DB and Signature Packets to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Containers The unit of partitioning and throughput; each container maps to a synced collection. Workflow Documents Draft and executed documents attached to a workflow; retrieved to pull generated or signed files out into a document store or archive. Containers is specific to Azure Cosmos DB and Workflow Documents to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Items (JSON documents) Schema-flexible JSON records read and written during sync; nested structures are flattened or mapped as needed. 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. Items (JSON documents) is specific to Azure Cosmos DB and Workflows to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Azure Cosmos DB 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.

Azure Cosmos DB Ironclad Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Azure Cosmos DB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Built-in change feed exposing inserts and updates in order within each partition key range.

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

Ironclad Azure Cosmos DB 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 Azure Cosmos DB 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.

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.
