Why teams connect Chargebee and Ironclad

Connect the financial records in Chargebee with the work happening in Ironclad, so both stay current without exports or copy-paste.

Chargebee holds the financial truth: who the customers are, what they were billed, what they paid. Ironclad is where part of the day-to-day work happens, and that work often involves the same customers and transactions. Without a live connection, the two drift apart, and people end up answering questions from stale copies.

Stacksync keeps Customers, Subscriptions, Invoices, Credit notes in Chargebee and Entities, Obligations, Webhooks, Workflow Approvals in Ironclad in sync, bi-directionally and in real time. Whatever records Ironclad keeps and whatever events it produces, the overlap with Chargebee is mapped field by field, and a change on either side shows up on the other within seconds.

There is no middleware to build, no API rate limits to babysit, and no nightly job that leaves the morning running on yesterday's data.

Common use cases

  • 01 Push invoices and credit notes into an accounting system or warehouse for revenue reporting.
  • 02 Write plan changes initiated in an internal admin tool back into Chargebee subscriptions.
  • 03 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.
  • 04 Pull executed contract PDFs from Records attachments into a document store or archive as each workflow completes.

Common sync patterns

Where Ironclad collects payments or triggers charges: events land in Chargebee

Payment and charge activity flows into Chargebee as it happens, so the books reflect reality without manual reconciliation.

Where Ironclad tracks people or companies: one identity

A customer's details updated in either system update the other, so finance and the rest of the business stop maintaining two versions of the same customer.

Where Ironclad is a docs or knowledge workspace: reference data kept fresh

Figures teams rely on, like customer status or outstanding balances, stay current wherever Ironclad surfaces them instead of going stale after a one-time paste.

What you can sync between Chargebee 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.

Chargebee objects Ironclad objects How this pairing syncs
Payment sources Stored payment methods; usually read-only metadata in syncs for compliance reasons. 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. Payment sources is specific to Chargebee and Workflow Approvals to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Transactions Payment attempts and outcomes synced for dunning and finance workflows. 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. Transactions is specific to Chargebee and Signature Packets to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Coupons Discount definitions and redemptions used in deal-desk and reporting syncs. Workflow Documents Draft and executed documents attached to a workflow; retrieved to pull generated or signed files out into a document store or archive. Coupons is specific to Chargebee and Workflow Documents to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Events The change log resource that records every state change for incremental sync. 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. Events is specific to Chargebee and Workflows to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Customers Billing accounts matched to CRM accounts or users by email or external ID. 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. Customers is specific to Chargebee and Records to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Subscriptions Recurring billing state (plan, term, status) synced to CRM and product databases. 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. Subscriptions is specific to Chargebee and Entities to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Chargebee 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.

Chargebee Ironclad Sub-second propagation

DetectionChargebee notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks for all major object events, plus a pollable Events resource that records every change.

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

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Chargebee: Subject to plan-based API rate limits enforced per site.
  • 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.

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.
