Why teams connect Docusign and Xactly

Sync what happens in Docusign with the customer records in Xactly, in real time and in both directions.

The CRM is supposed to be the record of every customer relationship, but customer-relevant information also accumulates in the other tools a team runs. Whatever Docusign holds or produces that touches a customer, whether conversations, payments, replies, enriched data, or notes, the CRM only benefits if it arrives without someone copying it over.

Stacksync connects Templates, Tabs (form fields), Envelope Custom Fields, Folders in Docusign to Orders, Credits, Transactions (Commission & Bonus), Participants (Payees) in Xactly with bi-directional, real-time sync. Activity and record changes in Docusign update the matching contact or account in Xactly, and CRM data flows the other way wherever Docusign can store and use it.

Common use cases

  • 01 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.
  • 02 Extract Tabs data captured from signers — text fields, checkboxes, dates — into a warehouse to populate downstream contract or onboarding tables.
  • 03 Sync Participants, Positions, Titles, and Quotas from an HRIS/HCM and planning tools into Xactly so the org hierarchy and targets stay aligned with headcount changes.
  • 04 Push approved Payment Summary amounts from Incent into a payroll or accounts-payable system so payouts are paid from the mastered comp result.

Common sync patterns

Where Docusign supplies contact or company data

Enriched fields land directly on records in Xactly, and refreshes keep them from going stale.

Where Docusign can store CRM context: fields kept current

Owner, lifecycle stage, or account details from Xactly sync into Docusign, so people working there have the context without switching tools.

What you can sync between Docusign and Xactly

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 Xactly objects How this pairing syncs
Envelopes The core container for a signature request — documents, recipients, routing, and status; read status and metadata two-way, and create/send new envelopes. Orders Sales order and transaction records loaded into Incent as the raw input for crediting and calculation; created and updated through Connect load and ETL steps (write) and read back for reconciliation, so read and write. Envelopes is specific to Docusign and Orders to Xactly — 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. Credits Crediting records that tie an order to a participant and position; system-calculated credits are read, while manual and adjustment credits are loaded through Connect, so read and write. Recipients is specific to Docusign and Credits to Xactly — 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. Transactions (Commission & Bonus) Calculated commission and bonus line items produced by Incent's calculation engine; read as the output of comp runs for reporting and downstream payout, so effectively read-only results. Documents is specific to Docusign and Transactions (Commission & Bonus) to Xactly — 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. Participants (Payees) Sales reps and payees keyed to positions; loaded and updated from HRIS/HCM source data through Connect (write) and read for roster reporting, so read and write. Templates is specific to Docusign and Participants (Payees) to Xactly — 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. Positions & Titles Org-hierarchy positions and titles that credits and quotas roll up to; loaded and maintained through Connect (write) and read to resolve the hierarchy, so read and write. Tabs (form fields) is specific to Docusign and Positions & Titles to Xactly — 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. Quotas / Targets Period quota and target values per position or plan; loaded from planning tools through Connect (write) and read for attainment reporting, so read and write. Envelope Custom Fields is specific to Docusign and Quotas / Targets to Xactly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Docusign and Xactly

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

Xactly Docusign Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Xactly for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No CDC log for external tools to consume.

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.
  • Xactly: Xactly does not publish numeric per-second rate limits. The Connect platform enforces query concurrency and long-running-query limits, so large extracts are paged and heavy loads/queries run as asynchronous Connect jobs (submit, then retrieve results) rather than row-by-row calls; batch loads are the supported path for high volume.

How the Docusign and Xactly connectors work

Docusign

Integration surface
eSignature REST API v2.1 (plus Docusign Connect webhooks; separate CLM, Rooms, and Admin APIs)
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
Capabilities

Rate limits

Docusign setup guide

Xactly

Integration surface
Xactly Connect REST API v2 (JSON), plus ODBC/JDBC drivers over the same ANSI-SQL data model. Incent data is exposed as SQL-queryable objects (for example xactly_order, xactly_credit, xactly_transaction, xactly_payment); data is loaded and extracted through Connect load/query steps and server-side ETL Pipelines. The base host is region/pod-specific (for example https://<pod>.xactlycorp.com).
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 via the Xactly Connect API Gateway (bearer tokens issued on behalf of an Xactly Incent user), with HTTP Basic authentication using a dedicated Xactly Connect service-user's credentials also supported for the Connect REST API v2. The connecting user needs Connect/API access plus the relevant object permissions in Incent.
Change detection
No CDC log for external tools to consume. Incremental sync uses SQL predicates on modified/last-updated timestamp columns (for example WHERE modified_date > watermark) against Connect's queryable objects, or scheduled Connect ETL Pipelines that pull deltas since the last run. Xactly Connect has no outbound HTTP webhooks, so change detection is pull/ETL-based.
