Why teams connect Couchbase and Ironclad

Mirror Ironclad's data into Couchbase 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 Couchbase.

Stacksync mirrors Obligations, Webhooks, Workflow Approvals, Signature Packets from Ironclad into Buckets, Scopes, Collections, JSON Documents in Couchbase 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 Pull executed contract PDFs from Records attachments into a document store or archive as each workflow completes.
  • 02 Two-way sync Ironclad Records with a warehouse or ERP so executed-contract value, counterparty, renewal dates, and status stay current without manual re-keying.
  • 03 Write cleaned or enriched records from operational databases back into Couchbase collections that applications read.
  • 04 Sync Couchbase JSON documents into Postgres or a warehouse where analysts work with flattened relational tables.

Common sync patterns

React to changes as they happen

Updates in Ironclad arrive as row changes in Couchbase, 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.

Read Ironclad with a query

Records from Ironclad are ordinary rows in Couchbase; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

What you can sync between Couchbase 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.

Couchbase objects Ironclad objects How this pairing syncs
XDCR replications Cluster-to-cluster replication streams, useful context when choosing a sync source cluster. 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. XDCR replications is specific to Couchbase and Workflow Approvals to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Full-text search indexes Search indexes over documents, relevant when syncing searchable content. 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. Full-text search indexes is specific to Couchbase and Signature Packets to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Buckets Top-level data containers, roughly analogous to a database, that scope replication and memory quotas. Workflow Documents Draft and executed documents attached to a workflow; retrieved to pull generated or signed files out into a document store or archive. Buckets is specific to Couchbase and Workflow Documents to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Scopes Namespaces inside a bucket used to group collections, similar to schemas. 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. Scopes is specific to Couchbase and Workflows to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Collections Table-like groupings of documents that syncs typically map one-to-one to destination tables. 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. Collections is specific to Couchbase and Records to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
JSON Documents The core records; schemaless JSON keyed by document id, flattened or mapped to relational rows in syncs. 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. JSON Documents is specific to Couchbase and Entities to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Couchbase 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.

Couchbase Ironclad Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Couchbase are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Database Change Protocol (DCP) streams document mutations.

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

Ironclad Couchbase 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 Couchbase as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Couchbase: Throughput is bounded by cluster sizing rather than API rate limits.
  • 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 Couchbase and Ironclad connectors work

Couchbase

Integration surface
SQL++ (N1QL) query service, key-value SDK APIs, and REST management APIs
Authentication
Database credentials with role-based access control, typically over TLS

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.
