Why teams connect Ironclad and Snowflake

Get the data locked inside Ironclad into Snowflake as live tables, and send results back where Ironclad can use them, without writing a pipeline.

Whatever Ironclad is used for, it accumulates data the rest of the company wants to analyze, and that data usually sits behind an API rather than in the warehouse. Building and babysitting an extraction pipeline is the tax most teams pay for it.

Stacksync syncs Workflows, Records, Entities, Obligations from Ironclad into tables in Snowflake continuously, handling schema, rate limits, and retries. Because the sync is bi-directional, results computed in Snowflake can also be written back into fields in Ironclad where the tool can use them.

Common use cases

  • 01 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.
  • 02 Stream workflow approval and signature webhook events into an operational database for cycle-time, bottleneck, and SLA reporting across the contract lifecycle.
  • 03 Push product usage aggregates from Snowflake into sales and success tools for account prioritization
  • 04 Feed finance reconciliation models from ERP data landed in Snowflake on a continuous basis

Common sync patterns

Where Ironclad accepts updates: operational write-back

Segments, scores, or reference values computed in Snowflake sync back onto records in Ironclad, putting analysis where the work happens.

History that outlives the tool

A continuously synced copy in Snowflake preserves a queryable record even as data ages out of Ironclad or gets changed inside it.

Analytics on Ironclad's data

Records and events from Ironclad land in Snowflake as queryable tables, current within seconds and ready to join with the rest of the warehouse.

What you can sync between Ironclad and Snowflake

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 Snowflake objects How this pairing syncs
Workflow Documents Draft and executed documents attached to a workflow; retrieved to pull generated or signed files out into a document store or archive. Views Modeled projections used as the source side of outbound syncs. Workflow Documents is specific to Ironclad and Views to Snowflake — 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. Materialized Views Precomputed results synced outward for low-latency reads. Workflows is specific to Ironclad and Materialized Views to Snowflake — 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. Streams Row-level change records on a table, consumed to process deltas instead of full scans. Records is specific to Ironclad and Streams to Snowflake — 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. Stages File staging areas used for bulk loads into synced tables. Entities is specific to Ironclad and Stages to Snowflake — 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. Tasks Scheduled SQL used to transform synced data after it lands. Obligations is specific to Ironclad and Tasks to Snowflake — 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. VARIANT Columns Semi-structured JSON payloads stored alongside relational columns. Webhooks is specific to Ironclad and VARIANT Columns to Snowflake — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Ironclad and Snowflake

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 Snowflake 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 applied to Snowflake as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Snowflake Ironclad Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Snowflake are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. The setup script grants "create stream" on synced schemas (Snowflake streams), but the docs do not name the change-capture mechanism.

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.
  • Snowflake: No conventional API rate limits; cost and throughput are governed by virtual warehouse size and running time.

How the Ironclad and Snowflake 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.
