Why teams connect Ironclad and Namely

Keep the people, teams, and status that Ironclad and Namely share aligned in real time, so a hire, role change, or departure recorded in one reaches the other within seconds.

Each tool in Ironclad keeps its own list of who can use it: users, members, or agents, along with the team they sit on and whether they are still active. Namely is the authoritative record of the same people as employees, with their department, manager, and employment status. When those two are connected only by manual account admin or a periodic export, the work tools drift: new hires wait days for access, team and manager changes never catch up, and people who have left keep standing accounts.

Stacksync syncs Webhooks, Workflow Approvals, Signature Packets, Workflow Documents in Ironclad with Profiles, Job Titles, Job Tiers, Groups in Namely bi-directionally and in real time. A person added, moved, or offboarded in Namely creates or updates the matching user in Ironclad within seconds, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution in place of spreadsheets and one-off account changes. Where Ironclad captures details of its own, such as a corrected contact or a login identity, those can flow back to Namely in whichever direction you configure.

Because the sync is field-level, each system keeps its own extras; only the shared facts, who a person is, which team they belong to, and whether their access should be on, are held in agreement.

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 Map Job Titles and Job Tiers into a warehouse dimension table so leveling and seniority stay consistent across HR, finance, and BI reporting.
  • 04 Push Groups and Teams (departments, locations, team categories) into downstream apps to keep org structure and reporting lines aligned.

Common sync patterns

One employee directory

A person's name, title, contact details, or status corrected in either system updates the other, so both sides stop maintaining separate copies of the same person.

Org and team structure kept current

Department, team, and reporting-line changes from Namely keep the groups, queues, or projects in Ironclad assigned to the right people.

Where Ironclad routes or assigns work by person: assignments follow the org

When someone changes teams or managers in Namely, the queues, ownership, or approvals in Ironclad update to match, so work reaches whoever holds the role now.

What you can sync between Ironclad and Namely

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 Namely objects How this pairing syncs
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. Job Titles Job title definitions; read and written so titles stay aligned with an HRIS, directory, or reporting dimension. Entities is specific to Ironclad and Job Titles to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Obligations Post-signature commitments, milestones, and renewal dates tied to contracts; synced two-way to drive renewal, compliance, and finance reporting in downstream systems. Job Tiers Leveling hierarchy grouping zero-to-many Job Titles; read to map seniority into warehouse dimension tables. Obligations is specific to Ironclad and Job Tiers to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Groups Departments and locations that organize Profiles; synced to keep org structure aligned with a warehouse or IdP. Webhooks is specific to Ironclad and Groups to Namely — 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. Teams Teams and team categories a Profile belongs to; read and written for org-chart and provisioning workflows. Workflow Approvals is specific to Ironclad and Teams to Namely — 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. Reports Saved Namely reports returned as JSON snapshots that update instantly; read-only feeds for headcount and roster analytics. Signature Packets is specific to Ironclad and Reports to Namely — 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. Profile Fields Metadata describing standard and company-defined custom field sections; read to discover schema and generate mappings. Workflow Documents is specific to Ironclad and Profile Fields to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Ironclad and Namely

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 Namely 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 Namely through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Namely Ironclad Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Namely for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No webhooks.

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.
  • Namely: Namely's public docs do not publish a fixed request quota; the REST API returns standard HTTP status codes, so integrations should throttle and back off on 429/5xx responses.

How the Ironclad and Namely 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.
