Why teams connect Ironclad and ServiceNow

Stop re-entering the same information in Ironclad and ServiceNow: Stacksync keeps the records they share consistent in real time, in both directions.

Two tools in the daily stack often hold overlapping information: the same people, the same companies, or the same pieces of work, described twice. The tools do different jobs, so consolidating is not the answer; the overlap just needs to stop drifting.

Stacksync syncs Obligations, Webhooks, Workflow Approvals, Signature Packets in Ironclad with Service Catalog Requests, Configuration Items (CMDB), Users and Groups, Tasks in ServiceNow in real time. You choose which records overlap, map the fields that should match, and pick a direction or let changes flow both ways. From then on, an update made in either tool is reflected in the other within seconds, without exports or copy-paste.

Because the sync is field-level, each tool keeps its own extras; only the shared data is held in agreement.

Common use cases

  • 01 Stream workflow approval and signature webhook events into an operational database for cycle-time, bottleneck, and SLA reporting across the contract lifecycle.
  • 02 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.
  • 03 Mirror incident and task data into Postgres or a warehouse for SLA and workload reporting
  • 04 Create ServiceNow tickets automatically from CRM cases and sync status back as agents work them

Common sync patterns

Where ServiceNow is where the team documents or plans: keep its data fed

Information that originates in Ironclad stays current in ServiceNow instead of going stale after a one-time paste.

Handoffs between teams

When work started in one tool continues in the other, the shared fields travel with it automatically.

Where both tools track people or companies: one consistent record

Contact and company details corrected in either tool update the other, so nobody works from the old version.

What you can sync between Ironclad and ServiceNow

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 ServiceNow 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. Change Requests Track planned changes; synced to deployment and release tooling. Records is specific to Ironclad and Change Requests to ServiceNow — 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. Problems Root-cause records linked to incidents, useful in cross-system reporting. Entities is specific to Ironclad and Problems to ServiceNow — 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. Service Catalog Requests Requested items and approvals that often trigger provisioning in other systems. Obligations is specific to Ironclad and Service Catalog Requests to ServiceNow — 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. Configuration Items (CMDB) Asset and infrastructure records synced with discovery tools and asset databases. Webhooks is specific to Ironclad and Configuration Items (CMDB) to ServiceNow — 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. Users and Groups Sys_user and group tables synced with HR systems and identity providers. Workflow Approvals is specific to Ironclad and Users and Groups to ServiceNow — 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. Tasks The base task table that incidents, changes, and requests extend. Signature Packets is specific to Ironclad and Tasks to ServiceNow — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Ironclad and ServiceNow

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

ServiceNow Ironclad Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls ServiceNow for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on sys_updated_on 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.
  • ServiceNow: Subject to instance-level API rate limits and concurrency semaphores configured by administrators.

How the Ironclad and ServiceNow 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.
