Why teams connect Ironclad and SugarCRM

Sync what happens in Ironclad with the customer records in SugarCRM, in real time and in both directions.

The CRM is supposed to be the record of every customer relationship, but customer-relevant information also accumulates in the other tools a team runs. Whatever Ironclad holds or produces that touches a customer, whether conversations, payments, replies, enriched data, or notes, the CRM only benefits if it arrives without someone copying it over.

Stacksync connects Entities, Obligations, Webhooks, Workflow Approvals in Ironclad to Contacts, Leads, Opportunities, Cases in SugarCRM with bi-directional, real-time sync. Activity and record changes in Ironclad update the matching contact or account in SugarCRM, and CRM data flows the other way wherever Ironclad can store and use it.

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 Two-way sync between SugarCRM and an ERP so account, quote, and order data match in both systems
  • 04 Replicate Sugar modules into Postgres so RevOps can query CRM data with SQL and drive internal tools

Common sync patterns

Where Ironclad handles support or shared inboxes

Tickets and conversations attach to the right contact and account in SugarCRM, so sales sees open issues before the next call.

Where Ironclad supplies contact or company data

Enriched fields land directly on records in SugarCRM, and refreshes keep them from going stale.

Where Ironclad processes payments

Charges, refunds, and subscription changes appear on the account in SugarCRM, so revenue context lives with the relationship.

What you can sync between Ironclad and SugarCRM

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 SugarCRM objects How this pairing syncs
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. Custom modules Modules built with Module Builder get the same REST endpoints as stock ones. Signature Packets is specific to Ironclad and Custom modules to SugarCRM — 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. Accounts Company records, the usual join key against ERP customer masters. Workflow Documents is specific to Ironclad and Accounts to SugarCRM — 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. Contacts People linked to accounts, synced with marketing and support systems. Workflows is specific to Ironclad and Contacts to SugarCRM — 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. Leads Unqualified prospects that convert into contacts and opportunities. Records is specific to Ironclad and Leads to SugarCRM — 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. Opportunities Deals with revenue line items, synced to forecasting and billing. Entities is specific to Ironclad and Opportunities to SugarCRM — 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. Cases Support tickets kept aligned with help desk tools. Obligations is specific to Ironclad and Cases to SugarCRM — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Ironclad and SugarCRM

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 SugarCRM 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 SugarCRM 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.
  • SugarCRM: Limits depend on the hosting model; on-premise instances are constrained by server capacity rather than fixed quotas.

How the Ironclad and SugarCRM 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.
