Why teams connect Ironclad and Pinecone

Feed Ironclad's records into Pinecone for indexing, classification, and generation, then land the model's output back on those same records, in real time and in both directions.

Pinecone 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 Pinecone 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 Records, Entities, Obligations, Webhooks from Ironclad into Pinecone continuously, so the model always works from current records instead of a snapshot, and writes Index statistics, Indexes, Vectors (records), Namespaces, the scores, labels, summaries, drafts, and embedding metadata Pinecone 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 Back up a namespace by exporting its vector ids, values, and metadata to object storage or a database on a schedule using the list and fetch operations.
  • 02 Write embeddings and their metadata into a Pinecone index from a Postgres or warehouse table so a semantic-search or RAG feature always queries fresh vectors.
  • 03 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.
  • 04 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.

Common sync patterns

Where Pinecone generates text: drafts and summaries where the work happens

Summaries, suggested replies, or generated content from Pinecone sync onto the Ironclad record as a field or note, ready for a person to review before it goes out.

Every output routes back to the right record

Because each item is matched on a stable identifier, an Pinecone result always attaches to the record in Ironclad it was computed from, with no manual reconciliation.

Build a retrieval corpus from Ironclad's records

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

What you can sync between Ironclad and Pinecone

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 Pinecone 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. Index statistics Describe_index_stats returns total and per-namespace vector counts, the index dimension, and index fullness; read to size a sync and to detect drift between Pinecone and the source of truth. Entities is specific to Ironclad and Index statistics to Pinecone — 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. Indexes Serverless or pod-based containers holding vectors of a fixed dimension and distance metric (cosine, dotproduct, euclidean); managed on the control plane (api.pinecone.io) via create, list, describe, configure, and delete. describe_index returns the per-index data-plane host. Obligations is specific to Ironclad and Indexes to Pinecone — 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. Vectors (records) The core data: an id (up to 512 chars), a dense values array, optional sparse_values, and JSON metadata (up to 40 KB filterable per record). Full CRUD on the data plane via upsert, update, fetch, query, and delete, so write is supported here. Webhooks is specific to Ironclad and Vectors (records) to Pinecone — 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. Namespaces Partitions inside an index; every read and write targets one namespace and vectors across namespaces are isolated. Enumerated with list_namespaces and sized per namespace via describe_index_stats. Workflow Approvals is specific to Ironclad and Namespaces to Pinecone — 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. Collections Immutable snapshots of a pod-based index that store its data but not its definition; created, listed, and deleted on the control plane and used to recreate a pod-based index. Serverless indexes use Backups instead. Signature Packets is specific to Ironclad and Collections to Pinecone — 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. Backups Point-in-time snapshots of a serverless index; created, listed, and restored into a new index on the control plane for recovery or cloning. Read as a recovery-asset inventory. Workflow Documents is specific to Ironclad and Backups to Pinecone — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Ironclad and Pinecone

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

Pinecone Ironclad Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Pinecone for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No webhooks and no native change-data-capture feed.

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.
  • Pinecone: Data-plane operations are capped per second: query, upsert, update, and delete at 100 req/s per namespace, fetch at 100 req/s per index, and list at 200 req/s per index; breaches return HTTP 429. Hard request limits also apply: an upsert is max 2 MB or 1000 records, metadata max 40 KB per record, and query top_k up to 10,000 with a 4 MB result cap.

How the Ironclad and Pinecone 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.
Capabilities

Rate limits
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.

Pinecone

Integration surface
Two HTTP APIs: a control plane at api.pinecone.io (manage indexes, collections, backups, and, via the Admin API, projects and API keys) and a per-index data plane at the host returned by describe_index (upsert, query, fetch, update, delete, list). A gRPC data-plane transport is available through the official SDKs.
Authentication
API key in the Api-Key request header, scoped to one project; every request also sends an X-Pinecone-Api-Version header (date-based, e.g. 2025-10). The organization Admin API instead uses OAuth2 client-credentials (service accounts) via login.pinecone.io/oauth/token, passing a Bearer token to api.pinecone.io/admin (Enterprise).
Change detection
No webhooks and no native change-data-capture feed. Vectors carry no server-side update timestamp, so Stacksync detects changes by re-reading - paginating vector ids with the list operation (serverless indexes) and fetching by id, or by re-upserting from the source of truth. describe_index_stats bounds a resync with per-namespace counts.
