Why teams connect Ironclad and Openai

Flow Openai data into Ironclad in real time — no exports, no schedulers, no custom scripts.

Openai is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into Ironclad, so Ironclad always reflects the current state of Openai — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.

Openai works on data it does not own. The records, conversations, tickets, messages, and events it needs to embed, classify, summarize, or answer questions about actually live in Ironclad, the tool the team uses every day. So the value of Openai depends on two flows that most teams stitch together with a custom script or a one-time export: getting Ironclad's data in, and getting the model's results back out to where people can act on them. When either flow runs on a batch or a stale snapshot, the model reasons over yesterday's data and its output never reaches the record it belongs to.

Stacksync syncs Workflow Documents, Workflows, Records, Entities from Ironclad into Openai continuously, so the model always works from current records instead of a snapshot, and writes Files, Batch jobs, Vector stores, Usage & Costs, the scores, labels, summaries, drafts, and embedding metadata Openai produces, back onto the matching record in Ironclad. The sync is field-level and keyed on a stable identifier, so every output attaches to the exact record it came from and each system keeps its own extra fields untouched.

You decide the direction and the trigger conditions per field: pull records one way to build and keep a retrieval corpus current, push results the other way onto the operational record, or both.

Common use cases

  • 01 Land Fine-tuning jobs with their status, base model, hyperparameters, and result Files in a warehouse to power MLOps dashboards without per-viewer API calls.
  • 02 Subscribe to batch.completed and fine_tuning.job.succeeded webhooks so a downstream pipeline step fires the moment an offline-inference or training job finishes.
  • 03 Stream workflow approval and signature webhook events into an operational database for cycle-time, bottleneck, and SLA reporting across the contract lifecycle.
  • 04 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.

Common sync patterns

Build a retrieval corpus from Ironclad's records

Records, tickets, messages, or events from Ironclad sync into Openai so they can be indexed, embedded, or retrieved as context, without a hand-built extraction job.

Keep the model's knowledge current

As records change in Ironclad, the synced copy in Openai updates within seconds, so retrieval and generation reason over live data rather than a stale export.

Where Openai classifies or scores: results land on the record

Categories, sentiment, priority, or scores produced by Openai write back onto the matching record in Ironclad, so the team acts on them in the tool they already use.

What you can sync between Ironclad and Openai

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 Openai objects How this pairing syncs
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. Models Catalog of available base, snapshot, and fine-tuned models with owner and capabilities; read-only reference data used to resolve inference and fine-tuning targets. Records is specific to Ironclad and Models to Openai — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Fine-tuning jobs Training jobs with status, base model, hyperparameters, trained-model name, and result files; status received by webhook or polled from queued through succeeded or failed. Entities is specific to Ironclad and Fine-tuning jobs to Openai — 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. Files Uploaded training, validation, and batch-input files plus generated output files; listed and read by ID, not written back as business records in sync. Obligations is specific to Ironclad and Files to Openai — 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. Batch jobs Asynchronous bulk-inference jobs within a 24-hour window, with status and output/error file IDs; completion detected by the batch.completed webhook or by polling. Webhooks is specific to Ironclad and Batch jobs to Openai — 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. Vector stores File collections backing file-search retrieval, with name, file counts, usage bytes, and status; read as a metadata inventory of retrieval assets. Workflow Approvals is specific to Ironclad and Vector stores to Openai — 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. Usage & Costs Per-model and per-project token, request, and dollar figures from the Administration Usage and Costs endpoints, read for FinOps chargeback and spend reporting. Signature Packets is specific to Ironclad and Usage & Costs to Openai — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Ironclad and Openai

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 Openai 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.

DeliveryOpenai does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: Openai's output flows back as field updates on the originating Ironclad records.

Openai Ironclad Sub-second propagation

DetectionOpenai notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Push webhooks (Standard Webhooks spec, whsec_ signing secret) fire on batch.completed, fine_tuning.job.succeeded/failed, response.completed/failed,.

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.
  • Openai: Rate limits are set per organization and per project as RPM/RPD and TPM/TPD and rise across five spend-based usage tiers; responses carry x-ratelimit-remaining headers and return HTTP 429 on breach.

How the Ironclad and Openai 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.
