Why teams connect Insightly and Ironclad

Sync what happens in Ironclad with the customer records in Insightly, 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 Ironclad 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 Records, Entities, Obligations, Webhooks in Ironclad to Notes, Products, Custom Fields, Contacts in Insightly with bi-directional, real-time sync. Activity and record changes in Ironclad update the matching contact or account in Insightly, and CRM data flows the other way wherever Ironclad can store and use it.

Common use cases

  • 01 Push Obligations and renewal dates from Ironclad into a finance or task system so post-signature commitments and renewals are tracked and actioned on time.
  • 02 Pull executed contract PDFs from Records attachments into a document store or archive as each workflow completes.
  • 03 Deduplicate and align customer records between Insightly and an ERP or invoicing system
  • 04 Two-way sync of Insightly contacts and organizations with a marketing automation platform

Insightly Ironclad Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Insightly for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on record updated-date fields.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Ironclad through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Ironclad Insightly Sub-second propagation
