Why teams connect Ironclad and Nimble

Sync what happens in Ironclad with the customer records in Nimble, 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 Workflow Approvals, Signature Packets, Workflow Documents, Workflows in Ironclad to Tags, Custom fields, Contacts, Companies in Nimble with bi-directional, real-time sync. Activity and record changes in Ironclad update the matching contact or account in Nimble, 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 Feed Nimble activity and task data into reporting dashboards without manual CSV exports.
  • 04 Sync Nimble contacts and companies into Postgres so ops teams can query socially enriched profile data with SQL.

Common sync patterns

Where Ironclad can store CRM context: fields kept current

Where Ironclad handles support or shared inboxes

Tickets and conversations attach to the right contact and account in Nimble, so sales sees open issues before the next call.

Where Ironclad supplies contact or company data

Enriched fields land directly on records in Nimble, and refreshes keep them from going stale.

What you can sync between Ironclad and Nimble

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 Nimble objects How this pairing syncs
Obligations Post-signature commitments, milestones, and renewal dates tied to contracts; synced two-way to drive renewal, compliance, and finance reporting in downstream systems. Notes Free-text records attached to contacts, replicated for a complete account timeline Obligations is specific to Ironclad and Notes to Nimble — 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. Tags Segmentation labels that map to list membership or filters in downstream systems Webhooks is specific to Ironclad and Tags to Nimble — 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. Custom fields Account-defined contact attributes that carry enrichment or internal identifiers Workflow Approvals is specific to Ironclad and Custom fields to Nimble — 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. Contacts Person records with multi-value fields for email, phone, and social profiles; the primary sync entity Signature Packets is specific to Ironclad and Contacts to Nimble — 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. Companies Stored as contact records with a company record type, so they sync through the same contacts resource Workflow Documents is specific to Ironclad and Companies to Nimble — 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. Deals Pipeline records linked to contacts, synced to keep revenue systems aligned with sales activity Workflows is specific to Ironclad and Deals to Nimble — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Ironclad and Nimble

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

Nimble Ironclad Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Nimble for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on record modification timestamps.

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.
  • Nimble: Subject to per-account API request quotas.

How the Ironclad and Nimble 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.
