Why teams connect Google Pubsub and Ironclad

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

Ironclad 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 Records, Entities, Obligations, Webhooks in Ironclad with Schemas, Snapshots, Message attributes, Dead-letter topics 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 Two-way sync Ironclad Records with a warehouse or ERP so executed-contract value, counterparty, renewal dates, and status stay current without manual re-keying.
  • 02 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.
  • 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 Ironclad 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 Ironclad 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 Google Pubsub 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.

Google Pubsub objects Ironclad objects How this pairing syncs
Snapshots Captured subscription state for seek/replay; lets already-acknowledged messages be redelivered from a point in time. 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. Snapshots is specific to Google Pubsub and Signature Packets to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Message attributes Up to 100 key-value pairs per message; carry routing metadata and drive subscription filter expressions. Workflow Documents Draft and executed documents attached to a workflow; retrieved to pull generated or signed files out into a document store or archive. Message attributes is specific to Google Pubsub and Workflow Documents to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Dead-letter topics Destination for messages that exceed a subscription's max delivery attempts; isolates poison messages for later handling. 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. Dead-letter topics is specific to Google Pubsub and Workflows to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Ordering keys Tag messages so those sharing a key deliver in publish order when message ordering is enabled; throughput capped at 1 MBps per key. Records The Repository of executed and stored contracts with metadata (value, counterparty, key dates, type) and attachments; full create, read, update, and delete so signed-contract data and PDFs sync to a warehouse, ERP, or CRM. Ordering keys is specific to Google Pubsub and Records to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Topics Named resource publishers send to; Stacksync publishes each record change as a message to a topic for downstream subscribers to consume. Entities Structured records for counterparties and other parties linked to workflows and records; read and written to keep company and vendor master data aligned with a CRM or ERP. Topics is specific to Google Pubsub and Entities to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Subscriptions A stream of messages from one topic; Stacksync consumes here via StreamingPull or a push endpoint, acknowledging each message after a successful write. Obligations Post-signature commitments, milestones, and renewal dates tied to contracts; synced two-way to drive renewal, compliance, and finance reporting in downstream systems. Subscriptions is specific to Google Pubsub and Obligations to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Google Pubsub 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.

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

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • 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.
  • 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.
