Why teams connect Docusign and TiDB

Mirror Docusign's data into TiDB 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 TiDB.

Stacksync mirrors Recipients, Documents, Templates, Tabs (form fields) from Docusign into Databases, Tables, Views, Columns in TiDB 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 Push signed Documents and the certificate of completion into a document store or database keyed by Envelope Custom Fields for audit and retrieval.
  • 02 Mirror Envelope Custom Fields and Folder placement into a reporting database to analyze agreement volume, cycle time, and stalled signatures.
  • 03 Two-way sync between TiDB tables and SaaS tools so operational edits made in either system converge
  • 04 Stream row-level changes to a warehouse or Kafka via CDC for near-real-time analytics

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 TiDB; 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 TiDB and Stacksync propagates the change into Docusign, replacing custom integration code.

What you can sync between Docusign and TiDB

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 TiDB 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. Databases MySQL-style schemas addressed by any MySQL-compatible client. Envelope Custom Fields is specific to Docusign and Databases to TiDB — 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. Tables Row data stored in TiKV; the primary unit for reads, writes, and CDC. Folders is specific to Docusign and Tables to TiDB — 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. Views Logical views for shaping reads before syncing outward. Users is specific to Docusign and Views to TiDB — 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. Columns MySQL-compatible types mapped to fields in the paired system. Envelopes is specific to Docusign and Columns to TiDB — 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. Indexes Secondary indexes that keep incremental sync queries efficient. Recipients is specific to Docusign and Indexes to TiDB — 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. Sequences Server-side ID generation relevant when external systems write rows. Documents is specific to Docusign and Sequences to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Docusign and TiDB

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

TiDB Docusign Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in TiDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based CDC via TiCDC, which captures row changes from TiKV and streams them to downstream sinks.

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.
  • TiDB: Throughput scales with cluster size rather than fixed API quotas.
