Why teams connect Azure Service Bus and Ironclad

Connect the tickets, records, and events in Ironclad to the systems engineering runs in Azure Service Bus, kept current in real time and in both directions.

Ironclad is where customer-facing and operational work happens: the tickets, conversations, contacts, and records a team touches every day. Azure Service Bus is where engineering runs the systems behind that work — the issue trackers, message brokers, directories, and monitors that keep services moving. The same items, people, and events matter to both, and when the only link between them is a manual hand-off or an overnight export, each side acts on a stale copy of what the other already knows.

Stacksync syncs Entities, Obligations, Webhooks, Workflow Approvals in Ironclad with Messages, Rules / Filters, Sessions, Dead-letter queue in Azure Service Bus field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields; Stacksync maps the overlap, resolves conflicts by rules you set, and keeps every copy current, with no middleware to build and no API limits to babysit.

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 Send new and changed database rows as messages to a Service Bus queue or topic so multiple downstream consumers process the change stream independently.
  • 04 Receive messages from a queue or subscription with an AMQP receiver and write them into a Postgres or warehouse table for durable, SQL-queryable storage.

Common sync patterns

Where Azure Service Bus is the directory or identity source: one set of users

People and accounts in Ironclad stay matched to the users in Azure Service Bus, so access, provisioning, and org changes propagate instead of being keyed in twice.

Where Azure Service Bus watches operations: live volumes for visibility

Open items, throughput, and error counts from Ironclad replicate into Azure Service Bus, so the operational view reflects what is actually happening in the business.

One shared record across both systems

Where both systems keep records for the same contacts, items, or users, a correction in either updates the other, ending dual maintenance and keeping IDs aligned for every other flow.

What you can sync between Azure Service Bus 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 Service Bus objects Ironclad objects How this pairing syncs
Rules / Filters SQL or correlation filters on a subscription that decide which topic messages it receives; a rule can also add or modify properties via a filter action. 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. Rules / Filters is specific to Azure Service Bus and Entities to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sessions Message sessions group related messages by SessionId so one consumer handles them in FIFO order; the way ordered processing is achieved in Service Bus. Obligations Post-signature commitments, milestones, and renewal dates tied to contracts; synced two-way to drive renewal, compliance, and finance reporting in downstream systems. Sessions is specific to Azure Service Bus and Obligations to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Dead-letter queue A sub-queue on every queue and subscription that automatically holds messages exceeding the max delivery count or their TTL, read for inspection and reprocessing. 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. Dead-letter queue is specific to Azure Service Bus and Webhooks to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Scheduled / deferred messages Messages enqueued for future delivery at a set time, or deferred and set aside by sequence number for retrieval later, out of the normal receive order. 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. Scheduled / deferred messages is specific to Azure Service Bus and Workflow Approvals to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Queues Point-to-point entity: a sender writes messages and one competing consumer at a time receives them under PeekLock, then completes or abandons each message. 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. Queues is specific to Azure Service Bus and Signature Packets to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Topics Publish/subscribe entity a publisher sends to; each message is fanned out to every subscription whose filter rules match, so many consumers get their own copy. Workflow Documents Draft and executed documents attached to a workflow; retrieved to pull generated or signed files out into a document store or archive. Topics is specific to Azure Service Bus and Workflow Documents to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Azure Service Bus 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 Service Bus Ironclad Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Azure Service Bus for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Consumes messages as they arrive: an AMQP receiver holds an open connection and takes messages with PeekLock (lock, then complete/abandon) or.

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

Ironclad Azure Service Bus 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 Azure Service Bus through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Azure Service Bus: Standard tier throttles around 1,000 operations/second and returns a ServerBusy error; Premium provisions dedicated messaging units (1, 2, 4, 8, or 16) for isolated, predictable throughput. Up to 5,000 concurrent AMQP connections per namespace and 5,000 concurrent receive requests per entity.
  • 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 Azure Service Bus and Ironclad connectors work

Azure Service Bus

Integration surface
AMQP 1.0 messaging protocol plus an HTTP/REST API; entities live under a namespace at <namespace>.servicebus.windows.net (legacy SBMP also supported)
Authentication
Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) RBAC with managed identities - roles Azure Service Bus Data Owner, Data Sender, and Data Receiver - or Shared Access Signature (SAS) policies scoped with Manage, Send, and Listen claims
Change detection
Consumes messages as they arrive: an AMQP receiver holds an open connection and takes messages with PeekLock (lock, then complete/abandon) or ReceiveAndDelete. No modified-date polling and no native HTTP push; Azure Event Grid can separately raise an 'active messages available' event for intermittent receivers

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.
