Why teams connect Docusign and Dynamo DB

Mirror Docusign's data into Dynamo DB 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 Dynamo DB.

Stacksync mirrors Recipients, Documents, Templates, Tabs (form fields) from Docusign into DynamoDB Streams, Global Tables, Tables, Items in Dynamo DB 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 Extract Tabs data captured from signers — text fields, checkboxes, dates — into a warehouse to populate downstream contract or onboarding tables.
  • 02 Push signed Documents and the certificate of completion into a document store or database keyed by Envelope Custom Fields for audit and retrieval.
  • 03 Sync customer records between DynamoDB-backed services and a CRM so support and sales see live application state.
  • 04 Mirror SaaS objects into DynamoDB items to serve low-latency lookups from production services.

Common sync patterns

React to changes as they happen

Updates in Docusign arrive as row changes in Dynamo DB, 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 Docusign with a query

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

What you can sync between Docusign and Dynamo DB

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.

Docusign objects Dynamo DB objects How this pairing syncs
Users Account members and senders; the eSignature Users resource exposes them for attribution and reporting, while bulk org-wide user provisioning uses the separate Admin API. Tables The top-level containers a sync targets; each table is addressed independently. Users is specific to Docusign and Tables to Dynamo DB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Envelopes The core container for a signature request — documents, recipients, routing, and status; read status and metadata two-way, and create/send new envelopes. Items Schemaless records keyed by partition (and optional sort) key, mapped to rows or SaaS objects in syncs. Envelopes is specific to Docusign and Items to Dynamo DB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Attributes Per-item fields, including nested maps and lists, flattened or mapped during sync. Recipients is specific to Docusign and Attributes to Dynamo DB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Partition and Sort Keys The primary key pair used as the match key for bi-directional sync. Documents is specific to Docusign and Partition and Sort Keys to Dynamo DB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Templates Reusable envelope definitions with predefined recipients and tab placement; read to map fields and referenced by ID to generate new envelopes. Global Secondary Indexes Alternate access paths used when sync queries filter on non-key attributes. Templates is specific to Docusign and Global Secondary Indexes to Dynamo DB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. DynamoDB Streams Ordered item-level change records consumed for incremental sync. Tabs (form fields) is specific to Docusign and DynamoDB Streams to Dynamo DB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Docusign and Dynamo DB

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.

Docusign Dynamo DB 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 Dynamo DB as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Dynamo DB Docusign Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Dynamo DB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Item-level change streams via DynamoDB Streams or Kinesis Data Streams integration.

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

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.
  • Dynamo DB: Throughput is governed by the table's provisioned or on-demand capacity mode.
