Why teams connect Docusign and Google Pubsub

Connect the tickets, records, and events in Docusign to the systems engineering runs in Google Pubsub, kept current in real time and in both directions.

Docusign is where customer-facing and operational work happens: the tickets, conversations, contacts, and records a team touches every day. Google Pubsub is where engineering runs the systems behind that work — the issue trackers, message brokers, directories, and monitors that keep services moving. The same items, people, and events matter to both, and when the only link between them is a manual hand-off or an overnight export, each side acts on a stale copy of what the other already knows.

Stacksync syncs Recipients, Documents, Templates, Tabs (form fields) in Docusign with Subscriptions, Messages, Schemas, Snapshots in Google Pubsub field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields; Stacksync maps the overlap, resolves conflicts by rules you set, and keeps every copy current, with no middleware to build and no API limits to babysit.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync completed Envelopes and their Recipients status into Postgres so operations teams track signature progress and turnaround in SQL without logging into Docusign.
  • 02 Create and send an Envelope from a Template when a CRM Opportunity reaches closed-won, then write the returned envelopeId and status back onto the record.
  • 03 Publish new and changed database rows as messages to a Pub/Sub topic so multiple downstream subscriptions consume the change stream independently.
  • 04 Consume messages from a subscription via StreamingPull and write them into a Postgres or warehouse table for durable, SQL-queryable storage.

Common sync patterns

Where Google Pubsub is the directory or identity source: one set of users

People and accounts in Docusign stay matched to the users in Google Pubsub, so access, provisioning, and org changes propagate instead of being keyed in twice.

Where Google Pubsub watches operations: live volumes for visibility

Open items, throughput, and error counts from Docusign replicate into Google Pubsub, so the operational view reflects what is actually happening in the business.

One shared record across both systems

Where both systems keep records for the same contacts, items, or users, a correction in either updates the other, ending dual maintenance and keeping IDs aligned for every other flow.

What you can sync between Docusign and Google Pubsub

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 Google Pubsub objects How this pairing syncs
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. Subscriptions A stream of messages from one topic; Stacksync consumes here via StreamingPull or a push endpoint, acknowledging each message after a successful write. Documents is specific to Docusign and Subscriptions to Google Pubsub — 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. Messages The synced unit: base64-encoded data plus attributes, ordering key, messageId and publishTime; capped at 10 MB each. Templates is specific to Docusign and Messages to Google Pubsub — 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. Schemas Avro or Protocol Buffer definitions bound to a topic; validate that every published message matches the agreed structure. Tabs (form fields) is specific to Docusign and Schemas to Google Pubsub — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Envelope Custom Fields Text and list metadata used to tag envelopes for reporting; synced to a warehouse or CRM to key and categorize agreements. Snapshots Captured subscription state for seek/replay; lets already-acknowledged messages be redelivered from a point in time. Envelope Custom Fields is specific to Docusign and Snapshots to Google Pubsub — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Folders Containers such as Inbox, Sent, and Draft plus custom folders; listed and moved to organize envelopes and drive reporting queries. Message attributes Up to 100 key-value pairs per message; carry routing metadata and drive subscription filter expressions. Folders is specific to Docusign and Message attributes to Google Pubsub — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Dead-letter topics Destination for messages that exceed a subscription's max delivery attempts; isolates poison messages for later handling. Users is specific to Docusign and Dead-letter topics to Google Pubsub — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Docusign and Google Pubsub

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 Google Pubsub 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 written to Google Pubsub through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Google Pubsub Docusign Sub-second propagation

DetectionGoogle Pubsub notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Consumes messages as they arrive on a subscription — StreamingPull (long-lived gRPC) or a push subscription delivering each message as an HTTPS POST.

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.
  • Google Pubsub: Per-region throughput quotas (publish up to ~4 GB/s in large regions); 10 MB max per message and per publish request, 1,000 messages per request, and 1 MBps per ordering key.
