Why teams connect Ironclad and RavenDB

Mirror Ironclad's data into RavenDB so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.

Engineers integrate with tools like Ironclad through APIs, which means auth, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and retry logic, all maintained forever and all different for every tool. Meanwhile the data would be trivial to use if it simply lived in RavenDB.

Stacksync mirrors Workflows, Records, Entities, Obligations from Ironclad into Documents, Collections, Indexes, Attachments in RavenDB and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Your services query the database directly, and inserts or updates your code makes flow back into Ironclad, so the tool and the database never disagree.

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 Keep external search indexes or caches current from RavenDB change feeds without custom pollers.
  • 04 Stream RavenDB document changes into Postgres or a warehouse via data subscriptions for SQL analytics.

Common sync patterns

Read Ironclad with a query

Records from Ironclad are ordinary rows in RavenDB; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

Automate Ironclad from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in RavenDB and Stacksync propagates the change into Ironclad, replacing custom integration code.

React to changes as they happen

Updates in Ironclad arrive as row changes in RavenDB, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

What you can sync between Ironclad and RavenDB

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 RavenDB 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. Indexes Static and auto indexes used to query documents for filtered reads Webhooks is specific to Ironclad and Indexes to RavenDB — 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. Attachments Binary payloads stored with documents, handled separately from the JSON body Workflow Approvals is specific to Ironclad and Attachments to RavenDB — 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. Revisions Historical versions of documents, useful for audit-oriented replication Signature Packets is specific to Ironclad and Revisions to RavenDB — 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. Counters Numeric values attached to documents that change independently of the document body Workflow Documents is specific to Ironclad and Counters to RavenDB — 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. Time series Timestamped measurements stored per document, synced for metrics analysis Workflows is specific to Ironclad and Time series to RavenDB — 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. Data subscriptions Server-side change feeds that push matching documents to consumers Records is specific to Ironclad and Data subscriptions to RavenDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Ironclad and RavenDB

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

RavenDB Ironclad Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in RavenDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Data subscriptions and the Changes API provide server-pushed change feeds.

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.
  • RavenDB: Throughput bounded by cluster resources rather than API quotas.

How the Ironclad and RavenDB 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.
