Why teams connect Firebase and Ironclad
Mirror Ironclad's data into Firebase 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 Ironclad 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 Firebase.
Stacksync mirrors Workflow Documents, Workflows, Records, Entities from Ironclad into Cloud Functions Triggers, Firestore Collections, Firestore Documents, Subcollections in Firebase 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 Ironclad, so the tool and the database never disagree.
Common use cases
- 01 Sync Entities (counterparties) two-way with a CRM or ERP so company and vendor master data matches across the CLM and the systems of record.
- 02 Stream workflow approval and signature webhook events into an operational database for cycle-time, bottleneck, and SLA reporting across the contract lifecycle.
- 03 Sync Firestore user and account documents into a CRM so go-to-market teams see live product data.
- 04 Mirror Firestore collections into Postgres or a warehouse to run SQL analytics on app data.
Common sync patterns
Automate Ironclad from your codebase
Write to the synced tables in Firebase and Stacksync propagates the change into Ironclad, replacing custom integration code.
React to changes as they happen
Updates in Ironclad arrive as row changes in Firebase, 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.
What you can sync between Firebase and Ironclad
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.
| Firebase objects | Ironclad objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cloud Functions Triggers Server-side hooks that fire on document changes and can push updates outward. | Obligations Post-signature commitments, milestones, and renewal dates tied to contracts; synced two-way to drive renewal, compliance, and finance reporting in downstream systems. | Cloud Functions Triggers is specific to Firebase and Obligations to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Firestore Collections Top-level groupings of documents that a sync maps to tables or SaaS objects. | Webhooks Event subscriptions that push workflow, approval, signature, document, and comment changes to Stacksync in near real time; created, listed, and deleted through the API across 40+ event types. | Firestore Collections is specific to Firebase and Webhooks to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Firestore Documents Schemaless JSON-like records, the primary unit synced to and from external systems. | Workflow Approvals Per-workflow approval requests and their state; read to report approval status and cycle time, and status changes arrive live through the workflow_approval_status_changed event. | Firestore Documents is specific to Firebase and Workflow Approvals to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Subcollections Nested collections under documents, typically flattened into related tables during sync. | Signature Packets The e-signature packets on a workflow (sent, signatures collected, fully signed); read to track signing progress, with packet events delivered by webhook for real-time status. | Subcollections is specific to Firebase and Signature Packets to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Realtime Database Nodes JSON tree paths in the older Realtime Database, synced by path. | Workflow Documents Draft and executed documents attached to a workflow; retrieved to pull generated or signed files out into a document store or archive. | Realtime Database Nodes is specific to Firebase and Workflow Documents to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Authentication Users User accounts read into CRMs and warehouses for customer records. | Workflows The core unit of Ironclad: a live contract process (NDA, MSA, order form) moving through creation, review, approval, and signature. Launched via POST, updated via PATCH, and read for status, so contract processes move two-way between Ironclad and a database, CRM, or ERP. | Authentication Users is specific to Firebase and Workflows to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Firebase and Ironclad
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.
Firebase Ironclad Interval-based propagation
DetectionStacksync polls Firebase for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Real-time snapshot listeners on Firestore queries and Cloud Functions triggers on document changes.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Ironclad through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Ironclad Firebase Sub-second propagation
DetectionIronclad notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Native webhook subscriptions (POST /webhooks) fire on 40+ workflow, approval, signature, document, and comment events, and Ironclad retries a failing.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Firebase through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Rate-limit considerations
- Firebase: Subject to Firestore's documented operation quotas and per-document write throughput limits.
- Ironclad: Limits are enforced per account per minute by endpoint: GET Workflows 400 and POST/PATCH Workflows 40; GET Records 600 and POST/PATCH Records 200; GET Entities 600 and POST/PATCH Entities 200; Webhooks 600; all other endpoints 800. Exceeding a limit returns HTTP 429, and Ironclad recommends exponential backoff with jitter.

How the Firebase and Ironclad connectors work
Firebase
- Integration surface
- REST and gRPC APIs, typically accessed through the Firebase Admin SDK
- Authentication
- Google service account credentials (IAM) for server-side access; Firebase Auth tokens for client contexts
- Change detection
- Real-time snapshot listeners on Firestore queries and Cloud Functions triggers on document changes
- Capabilities
- read · write
- Rate limits
- Subject to Firestore's documented operation quotas and per-document write throughput limits
Ironclad
- Integration surface
- REST/JSON Public API (CLM API) at https://na1.ironcladapp.com/public/api/v1 (NA1 and EU1 regions plus a demo/sandbox), with a native Webhooks subscription API; described by an OpenAPI 3.1 spec.
- Authentication
- OAuth 2.0 - Authorization Code grant (PKCE for public clients) and Client Credentials grant for server-to-server; access tokens are Bearer, expire after 6 hours, and every endpoint is gated by a resource scope. The legacy static API bearer token was deprecated on 2024-11-22.
- Change detection
- Native webhook subscriptions (POST /webhooks) fire on 40+ workflow, approval, signature, document, and comment events, and Ironclad retries a failing endpoint up to 10 times over about 13.6 hours with exponential backoff. Otherwise poll the list endpoints by last-updated. There is no database change-data-capture log.
