Why teams connect Citus and Docusign

Mirror Docusign's data into Citus 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 Docusign 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 Citus.

Stacksync mirrors Folders, Users, Envelopes, Recipients from Docusign into Distributed tables, Reference tables, Local tables, Schemas in Citus 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 Docusign, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • 01 Mirror Envelope Custom Fields and Folder placement into a reporting database to analyze agreement volume, cycle time, and stalled signatures.
  • 02 Sync completed Envelopes and their Recipients status into Postgres so operations teams track signature progress and turnaround in SQL without logging into Docusign.
  • 03 Write CRM or billing records into reference tables so distributed queries can join operational context locally on every node.
  • 04 Use a Citus cluster as the scalable operational store behind a customer-facing app while syncing summaries back to internal tools.

Common sync patterns

Automate Docusign from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in Citus and Stacksync propagates the change into Docusign, replacing custom integration code.

React to changes as they happen

Updates in Docusign arrive as row changes in Citus, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

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.

What you can sync between Citus and Docusign

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.

Citus objects Docusign objects How this pairing syncs
Views Curated projections over distributed data, often used as read-only sync sources. Envelopes The core container for a signature request — documents, recipients, routing, and status; read status and metadata two-way, and create/send new envelopes. Views is specific to Citus and Envelopes to Docusign — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sequences Key generators that matter when external writes must not collide with application inserts. Recipients Signers, carbon copies, and agents on an envelope, each with a routing order and status; read recipient progress, write recipient lists when an envelope is created. Sequences is specific to Citus and Recipients to Docusign — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Distributed tables Tables sharded across worker nodes by a distribution column; the main sync target for large datasets. Documents The PDF files inside an envelope plus the certificate of completion; read signed output out to a store, or supply source documents on create. Distributed tables is specific to Citus and Documents to Docusign — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Reference tables Small lookup tables replicated to every node, synced like ordinary Postgres tables. Templates Reusable envelope definitions with predefined recipients and tab placement; read to map fields and referenced by ID to generate new envelopes. Reference tables is specific to Citus and Templates to Docusign — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Local tables Coordinator-only tables that behave exactly like standard PostgreSQL tables. Tabs (form fields) Signature, initial, date, text, and checkbox fields on a document; they carry the data a signer entered and are read out into databases. Local tables is specific to Citus and Tabs (form fields) to Docusign — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Standard Postgres namespaces used to scope what a sync user can read and write. Envelope Custom Fields Text and list metadata used to tag envelopes for reporting; synced to a warehouse or CRM to key and categorize agreements. Schemas is specific to Citus and Envelope Custom Fields to Docusign — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Citus and Docusign

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.

Citus Docusign Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Citus are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. PostgreSQL logical decoding / CDC, with caveats: changes to distributed tables occur on worker shards, so CDC setup differs from single-node Postgres.

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

Docusign Citus Sub-second propagation

DetectionDocusign notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Docusign Connect webhooks push envelope and recipient status-change events in real time.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Citus as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Docusign: Default 3,000 API requests per hour per account across all integrations, plus a burst limit of 500 calls per 30-second window; usage is exposed via the RateLimit and BurstLimit response headers.
