Why teams connect Ironclad and Materialize

Get the data locked inside Ironclad into Materialize as live tables, and send results back where Ironclad can use them, without writing a pipeline.

Whatever Ironclad is used for, it accumulates data the rest of the company wants to analyze, and that data usually sits behind an API rather than in the warehouse. Building and babysitting an extraction pipeline is the tax most teams pay for it.

Stacksync syncs Workflow Approvals, Signature Packets, Workflow Documents, Workflows from Ironclad into tables in Materialize continuously, handling schema, rate limits, and retries. Because the sync is bi-directional, results computed in Materialize can also be written back into fields in Ironclad where the tool can use them.

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 Sync operational CRM or ERP data into Materialize so real-time views stay current without batch loads.
  • 04 Read computed view results back into a CRM or application database as derived fields.

Common sync patterns

Cross-tool reporting

Combine Ironclad's data with data from every other synced system to answer questions no single tool can.

Where Ironclad accepts updates: operational write-back

Segments, scores, or reference values computed in Materialize sync back onto records in Ironclad, putting analysis where the work happens.

History that outlives the tool

A continuously synced copy in Materialize preserves a queryable record even as data ages out of Ironclad or gets changed inside it.

What you can sync between Ironclad and Materialize

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.

Ironclad objects Materialize objects How this pairing syncs
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. Connections & Secrets Stored credentials and endpoints used by sources and sinks. Webhooks is specific to Ironclad and Connections & Secrets to Materialize — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Schemas & Databases Namespaces that organize objects a sync targets. Workflow Approvals is specific to Ironclad and Schemas & Databases to Materialize — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Tables User-managed tables that accept INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE from sync pipelines. Signature Packets is specific to Ironclad and Tables to Materialize — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Workflow Documents Draft and executed documents attached to a workflow; retrieved to pull generated or signed files out into a document store or archive. Sources Ingestion points (Kafka, Postgres CDC, MySQL CDC, webhook) that feed external data into Materialize. Workflow Documents is specific to Ironclad and Sources to Materialize — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Materialized Views Incrementally maintained query results that syncs read as continuously up-to-date datasets. Workflows is specific to Ironclad and Materialized Views to Materialize — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Sinks Outbound connections that emit view changes to Kafka topics. Records is specific to Ironclad and Sinks to Materialize — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Ironclad and Materialize

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.

Ironclad Materialize 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 applied to Materialize as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Materialize Ironclad Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Materialize are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. SUBSCRIBE queries stream row-level changes of any view or table to the client.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • 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 Ironclad and Materialize connectors work

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.
