Why teams connect Box and Ironclad
Land the records and documents that build up in Ironclad into Box as they are created, and surface Box's file details on the Ironclad records that point to them, without an export job to maintain.
Ironclad and Box hold different kinds of data. Ironclad carries records and the activity around them — the tickets, messages, orders, or issues a team works through, often with documents attached. Box holds files and the metadata that describes them. Where the two meet is narrow but real: much of what Ironclad produces has to be kept somewhere durable, and many of the files Box stores are the very documents Ironclad's records point to.
Stacksync syncs Workflow Documents, Workflows, Records, Entities in Ironclad with Files, Folders, Metadata, Collaborations in Box in real time. Records and attachments created in Ironclad are written into Box as objects or files within seconds of being created. In the other direction, the metadata Box keeps about those files — name, location, owner, modified date — flows back onto the matching record in Ironclad, so people see the current document without leaving the tool. Field-level mapping controls exactly what crosses over and in which direction, so you keep a durable copy of what matters without an extract to schedule or a nightly dump that leaves the copy a day behind.
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 Push generated documents from an ERP or contract system into Box Folders with the right Collaborations applied for the deal team.
- 04 Stream enterprise Events (admin events) into a warehouse for audit, DLP, and access-review reporting.
Common sync patterns
A copy that outlives the tool
A continuously synced copy in Box preserves records and documents even as they age out of Ironclad or get changed inside it, so history stays intact and reachable.
Feed a data lake or downstream pipeline
Structured records from Ironclad land in Box as objects a data lake, search index, or processing pipeline can read, without a custom extract to build and babysit.
Archive what Ironclad produces into Box
Records and events from Ironclad — tickets, messages, orders, or issues — are written into Box as objects or files as they change, giving you a durable, addressable copy for retention and audit.
What you can sync between Box 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.
| Box objects | Ironclad objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Files Core content object with versions, name, size, and metadata; synced two-way so files and their attributes move between Box and a database or another store. | 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. | Files is specific to Box and Workflows to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Folders Hierarchical containers whose tree, names, and parent moves are mirrored so a target system reflects Box's structure; the account root is always folder ID 0. | 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. | Folders is specific to Box and Records to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Metadata Structured key-value instances attached to files and folders via metadata templates; synced two-way with database columns for classification and search. | 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. | Metadata is specific to Box and Entities to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Collaborations Access grants linking a user or group to a file or folder with a role such as viewer, editor, or co-owner; written to manage sharing programmatically. | Obligations Post-signature commitments, milestones, and renewal dates tied to contracts; synced two-way to drive renewal, compliance, and finance reporting in downstream systems. | Collaborations is specific to Box and Obligations to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Users Managed and app users in the enterprise; provisioned, updated, and deprovisioned to keep Box access aligned with an HR or identity source. | 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. | Users is specific to Box and Webhooks to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Groups Named user collections used for bulk collaboration; membership synced from a directory or IdP. | 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. | Groups is specific to Box and Workflow Approvals to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Box 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.
Box Ironclad Sub-second propagation
DetectionBox notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. V2 webhooks fire on triggers such as FILE.UPLOADED, FILE.TRASHED, and METADATA_INSTANCE.UPDATED.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Ironclad through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Ironclad Box 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 Box through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Rate-limit considerations
- Box: Per user: 1,000 API calls per minute and 240 file uploads per minute; exceeding limits returns HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header. Box Business plans also carry a licensed monthly API-call allotment per enterprise.
- 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 Box and Ironclad connectors work
Box
- Integration surface
- REST API (api.box.com/2.0), plus the Events API and V2 Webhooks
- Authentication
- OAuth 2.0 for user-delegated access, or server-to-server auth via JWT (RSA keypair) or Client Credentials Grant (CCG) using a Box app; short-lived developer tokens for testing
- Change detection
- V2 webhooks fire on triggers such as FILE.UPLOADED, FILE.TRASHED, and METADATA_INSTANCE.UPDATED; the Events API (user stream via long-poll by stream_position, or enterprise/admin events) provides a near-real-time change feed

- Rate limits
- Per user: 1,000 API calls per minute and 240 file uploads per minute; exceeding limits returns HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header. Box Business plans also carry a licensed monthly API-call allotment per enterprise.
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.
