Why teams connect Ironclad and Vertica

Get the data locked inside Ironclad into Vertica 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 Webhooks, Workflow Approvals, Signature Packets, Workflow Documents from Ironclad into tables in Vertica continuously, handling schema, rate limits, and retries. Because the sync is bi-directional, results computed in Vertica can also be written back into fields in Ironclad where the tool can use them.

Common use cases

  • 01 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.
  • 02 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.
  • 03 Consolidate data from multiple operational databases into Vertica schemas for enterprise BI.
  • 04 Sync CRM accounts and opportunities into Vertica to join with large-scale behavioral or telemetry data.

Common sync patterns

Analytics on Ironclad's data

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

Cross-tool reporting

Combine Ironclad's data with data from every other synced system to answer questions no single tool can.

Where Ironclad accepts updates: operational write-back

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

What you can sync between Ironclad and Vertica

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 Vertica 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. Flex Tables Schema-flexible tables for semi-structured JSON data landed before modeling. Entities is specific to Ironclad and Flex Tables to Vertica — 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. External Tables Data queried in place on files or object storage without loading. Obligations is specific to Ironclad and External Tables to Vertica — 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. Schemas Namespaces used to organize synced datasets by domain or source. Webhooks is specific to Ironclad and Schemas to Vertica — 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. Tables Columnar tables; the primary read and write targets for syncs. Workflow Approvals is specific to Ironclad and Tables to Vertica — 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. Projections Sorted, encoded physical copies of table data that the optimizer selects at query time; they affect load and query behavior rather than being addressed directly. Signature Packets is specific to Ironclad and Projections to Vertica — 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. Views Logical views used to shape reads for downstream consumers. Workflow Documents is specific to Ironclad and Views to Vertica — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Ironclad and Vertica

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 Vertica 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 Vertica as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Vertica Ironclad Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Vertica for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No exposed transaction-log CDC.

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.
  • Vertica: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by cluster resources, and bulk COPY is preferred over row-by-row writes.

How the Ironclad and Vertica 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.
