Why teams connect Ironclad and Workday
Connect the financial records in Workday with the work happening in Ironclad, so both stay current without exports or copy-paste.
Workday holds the financial truth: who the customers are, what they were billed, what they paid. Ironclad is where part of the day-to-day work happens, and that work often involves the same customers and transactions. Without a live connection, the two drift apart, and people end up answering questions from stale copies.
Stacksync keeps Compensation, Time Off and Absence, Payroll Results, Suppliers in Workday and Workflow Documents, Workflows, Records, Entities in Ironclad in sync, bi-directionally and in real time. Whatever records Ironclad keeps and whatever events it produces, the overlap with Workday is mapped field by field, and a change on either side shows up on the other within seconds.
There is no middleware to build, no API rate limits to babysit, and no nightly job that leaves the morning running on yesterday's data.
Common use cases
- 01 Replicate worker, organization, and compensation data into a secured database for people analytics without giving analysts tenant access.
- 02 Push completed payroll results into a finance system or data warehouse each pay cycle.
- 03 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.
- 04 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.
Common sync patterns
Where Ironclad tracks people or companies: one identity
A customer's details updated in either system update the other, so finance and the rest of the business stop maintaining two versions of the same customer.
Where Ironclad handles customer conversations: billing context in view
Front-line teams see invoice and payment status from Workday next to the customer they are helping, without logging into the finance system.
Where Ironclad collects payments or triggers charges: events land in Workday
Payment and charge activity flows into Workday as it happens, so the books reflect reality without manual reconciliation.
What you can sync between Ironclad and Workday
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 | Workday objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Obligations Post-signature commitments, milestones, and renewal dates tied to contracts; synced two-way to drive renewal, compliance, and finance reporting in downstream systems. | Payroll Results Completed pay data exported to finance and benefits systems. | Obligations is specific to Ironclad and Payroll Results to Workday — 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. | Suppliers Workday Financials vendor records aligned with procurement tools. | Webhooks is specific to Ironclad and Suppliers to Workday — 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. | Customers and Invoices Financials receivables objects synced for billing visibility where Workday Financials is used. | Workflow Approvals is specific to Ironclad and Customers and Invoices to Workday — 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. | Journal Entries Accounting entries imported from external subledgers into Workday Financials. | Signature Packets is specific to Ironclad and Journal Entries to Workday — 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. | Custom Reports (RaaS) Tenant-defined reports exposed as web service endpoints, often the practical read surface for syncs. | Workflow Documents is specific to Ironclad and Custom Reports (RaaS) to Workday — 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. | Workers The central HCM record covering employment, job, and personal data; the anchor of most syncs. | Workflows is specific to Ironclad and Workers to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Ironclad and Workday
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 Workday 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 Workday through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Workday Ironclad Interval-based propagation
DetectionStacksync polls Workday for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling, including transaction-log criteria on SOAP operations to fetch objects changed since a given moment.
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.

How the Ironclad and Workday 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.

FAQ
Ironclad and Workday integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Ironclad and Workday: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Ironclad's Obligations and Webhooks), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
Stacksync is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified with HIPAA BAA support. Data is encrypted in transit, and a zero-persistent-storage architecture means Ironclad and Workday records are not retained after a sync operation.
-
Stacksync pricing is usage-based and starts at $1,000/month, including the managed Ironclad and Workday connectors, real-time two-way sync, monitoring, and support. That replaces building and maintaining a custom Ironclad–Workday integration in-house.
-
Yes — Stacksync ships production-grade connectors for both Ironclad and Workday. The connectors handle authentication, schema detection, rate limits, and retries; you configure the sync, and Stacksync operates it.
-
Change detection on Ironclad: 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.
