Why teams connect Docusign and SAP Hana

Mirror Docusign's data into SAP Hana 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 SAP Hana.

Stacksync mirrors Users, Envelopes, Recipients, Documents from Docusign into System views (SYS schema), Column store tables, Row store tables, Calculation views in SAP Hana 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 Read SYS.TABLES and TABLE_COLUMNS system views to auto-discover schema and generate field mappings when new tables are added to the sync.
  • 04 Detect inserts, updates, and deletes on high-write tables via AFTER triggers or a last-modified column and replicate the deltas downstream near-real-time.

Common sync patterns

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 SAP Hana; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

Automate Docusign from your codebase

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

What you can sync between Docusign and SAP Hana

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 SAP Hana objects How this pairing syncs
Envelope Custom Fields Text and list metadata used to tag envelopes for reporting; synced to a warehouse or CRM to key and categorize agreements. System-versioned temporal tables Column store tables with a history table tracking each row's validity period; used to reconstruct update and delete history for change capture. Envelope Custom Fields is specific to Docusign and System-versioned temporal tables to SAP Hana — 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. System views (SYS schema) Catalog and monitoring views such as SYS.TABLES and TABLE_COLUMNS; read to discover schema and auto-generate field mappings for new tables. Folders is specific to Docusign and System views (SYS schema) to SAP Hana — 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. Column store tables HANA's default table type, optimized for analytics; synced two-way as rows over the SQL interface with the primary key driving upserts and delete tracking. Users is specific to Docusign and Column store tables to SAP Hana — 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. Row store tables OLTP-oriented tables held fully in memory; read and written the same way through the SAP HANA client for high-write operational tables. Envelopes is specific to Docusign and Row store tables to SAP Hana — 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. Calculation views Modeled analytic views over base tables; read-only sources for pushing aggregated or joined results into a warehouse or downstream app. Recipients is specific to Docusign and Calculation views to SAP Hana — 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. SQL views Standard database views; read-only projections synced outbound when the source data should not be exposed as raw base tables. Documents is specific to Docusign and SQL views to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Docusign and SAP Hana

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 SAP Hana 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 SAP Hana as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

SAP Hana Docusign Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in SAP Hana are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Polling on a last-modified timestamp column, or AFTER INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE triggers writing to a shadow table.

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.
  • SAP Hana: No SaaS-style request quota; throughput is bounded by connection limits, statement memory caps, and workload-class admission control (concurrency/memory limits) that share capacity with production queries.

Authentication
OAuth 2.0 — Authorization Code Grant for interactive apps, or JWT Grant (RSA key pair with user impersonation) for server-to-server integrations
Change detection
Docusign Connect webhooks push envelope and recipient status-change events in real time; polling is the fallback and is limited to once every 15 minutes per envelope

Docusign setup guide

SAP Hana

Integration surface
SQL over the SAP HANA client (JDBC/ODBC drivers); OData/REST via XS for app-layer access
Authentication
Dedicated database user credentials over an encrypted TLS connection (password sent hashed); Kerberos, SAML, JWT, and X.509 certificate authentication are also supported. SAP HANA Cloud enforces TLS and IP allowlisting.
Change detection
Polling on a last-modified timestamp column, or AFTER INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE triggers writing to a shadow table; system-versioned temporal tables and SLT/SDI provide trigger- and log-based CDC. No native webhooks.
