Is Monday Down? How to Check Monday.com Status Right Now

Monday.com is the work OS that keeps sprints moving, automations firing, and cross-functional teams aligned. When it goes down, the cascade is immediate: boards won't load, automation sequences stall mid-flow, integrations with Slack and Jira stop delivering updates, and guest stakeholders lose visibility at the worst possible moment. Unlike a brief email outage, a Monday.com degradation can paralyze an entire planning cycle — because the work itself lives on the platform.

Here's how to check Monday.com's status right now, understand exactly which components are affected, and make sure you're always the first to know when something breaks.

Is Monday Down Right Now?

Check these sources in order:

1. Statusfield — Monday.com status — real-time monitoring, updated continuously.
2. Twitter/X — search Monday.com down sorted by Latest. Project managers and operations leads are quick to report boards not loading and automation failures.
3. Downdetector — aggregates user-submitted reports; useful as a second opinion, but provides no component-level breakdown.

What Actually Breaks During a Monday Outage

Monday.com is a multi-layered platform. The board UI, automation engine, and third-party integrations operate as distinct services — a failure in one doesn't always mean everything is down.

Component	What it does	Impact when down
Boards & views	Core work surface — Table, Kanban, Gantt, Calendar, Timeline views	Boards fail to load or render stale data; updates cannot be saved
Automations	No-code rule engine (status change → notify, due date → assign, etc.)	Automation triggers stop firing; downstream tasks and notifications are silently skipped
Integrations	Native connectors to Slack, Jira, GitHub, Salesforce, Google Calendar, etc.	Two-way syncs break; status changes in Monday don't propagate to connected tools
Guest access	External collaborator views via shareable board links	Clients and contractors lose visibility; guest invites may fail to send
monday.com API	GraphQL API used by developers and integration builders	Custom automations, embedded dashboards, and third-party integrations that call the API break
WorkForms	Embeddable intake forms that write directly to boards	Form submissions fail silently or return errors; leads and requests are lost
Mobile app	iOS and Android clients for field teams and remote workers	App may show cached data or fail to sync; push notifications stop delivering
Notification center	In-app and email notifications for @mentions, due dates, and automation events	Mentions and deadline reminders don't arrive; teams miss time-sensitive updates

Monday Error Symptoms and What They Mean

What you see	What it usually means
"Something went wrong" on board load	API or board-rendering service degraded — refresh won't fix it; wait for recovery or check Statusfield
Board loads but items are missing or duplicated	Data sync lag between Monday's internal services; your data is intact but the view is stale
Automation recipe shows "Recipe paused due to an error"	The automation engine encountered a runtime failure — check the recipe's activity log for the specific trigger
Integration activity log shows repeated failures	The integration service lost its connection to the external tool; re-authorizing the integration often clears this after the outage resolves
Guest link shows "This board is not available"	Guest access service is degraded or the board permissions changed; confirm with the board owner
WorkForm returns a 500 on submission	Form-to-board write pipeline is broken; submissions during this window will not appear on the board
Mobile app stuck on loading spinner	App can't reach Monday's API; switch to the web app — it often uses a different request path
Email notifications not arriving	Notification delivery service degraded; @mentions and automation-triggered emails are queued or dropped

How Monday.com's Architecture Affects Outage Scope

Understanding Monday's infrastructure helps you predict which incidents affect your whole workspace versus a subset of users:

• Multi-region deployment with US and EU clusters. Monday.com serves European customers from EU-based infrastructure. An incident affecting the US cluster may not affect EU workspaces, and vice versa. If some teammates can access boards while others can't, geography is the first thing to check.
• The automation engine is a separate service. Monday's no-code automation runner is decoupled from the board-rendering layer. It's possible for boards to load normally while all automations silently stop firing — and this combination is notoriously hard to detect without monitoring, because there's no UI error on the board itself.
• Integrations depend on both Monday's integration service and the external tool. When a Slack or Jira integration fails, the failure can originate in Monday's middleware, in the external tool's API, or in the OAuth token. A Monday-side degradation affects all integrations simultaneously; an expired token affects only one.
• The GraphQL API and the web UI share infrastructure but not entirely. API-heavy workflows (custom dashboards, embedded views, third-party builders) can experience degraded performance even when the Monday.com web interface appears functional for casual users.
• WorkForms are hosted separately from the main app. A WorkForm at a forms.monday.com subdomain routes through different infrastructure than board access at monday.com. An outage affecting one doesn't guarantee the other is impacted.
• CDN-served assets vs. dynamic data. Monday's board shell (the navigation, sidebar, and layout chrome) is CDN-cached and loads quickly even during API degradations. This means users often see the UI skeleton but boards fail to populate — creating the confusing experience of "the app is open but nothing is working."

API Error Codes and Webhook Failures

If your team uses Monday.com's GraphQL API to power dashboards, automation middleware, or integrations, these are the errors you'll encounter during degradations and what they signal:

Error / Code	What it means
HTTP 429 Too Many Requests	API rate limit hit — Monday enforces per-minute and per-hour limits by plan tier; reduce request frequency or cache responses
HTTP 500 Internal Server Error	Monday's API is experiencing a server-side fault — not a client error; wait and retry; check Statusfield
HTTP 503 Service Unavailable	API is deliberately shedding load during a degradation — transient; exponential backoff applies
UserUnauthorizedException in GraphQL errors	API token is invalid or revoked — regenerate in the Monday admin panel under Developer → My Access Tokens
InvalidColumnValueException	Your mutation is writing a value that doesn't match the column's type — not an outage, a schema mismatch
ComplexityException	Your GraphQL query requests too many nested fields in one call — split the query or reduce depth
Webhook delivery failures (no payload received)	Monday's webhook dispatcher is degraded, or your endpoint returned non-2xx and Monday stopped retrying; check the webhook activity log in your integration settings
Webhook arrives with stale updated_at	Event processing backlog — webhooks are delivered eventually but with delay; design consumers to be idempotent

Key principle for API consumers: distinguish between 4xx errors (your token, your query, your schema) and 5xx errors (Monday's infrastructure). A 500 during a known incident is not a bug in your integration — it's a signal to pause and retry once the platform recovers.

Hardening Your Team Against Monday Outages

The best time to prepare is before an outage forces the conversation. These steps take under an hour and eliminate most of the scrambling:

1. Export a snapshot of your critical boards before sprint kickoff

Monday supports CSV exports of board data. For your highest-stakes boards — sprint trackers, client delivery boards, incident runbooks — export a snapshot at the start of each sprint. If Monday goes down mid-sprint, your team has offline reference data without needing platform access.

2. Document your automation logic outside Monday

When a complex automation recipe breaks during an outage, engineers often can't remember what it was supposed to do. Maintain a simple internal doc that maps each recipe to its business purpose and the manual steps that replace it during downtime. This turns a silent automation failure from a mystery into a known fallback.

3. Set up an external status alert before your next sprint planning

Monday.com outages during planning sessions are high-impact because the whole team is present and blocked simultaneously. Connect a Statusfield alert to your engineering or ops Slack channel so the team knows within minutes whether they're looking at a platform issue or a local one — before the first confused message hits the general channel.

4. For API integrations: implement idempotent writes and retry logic

If your workflow writes data to Monday (via the GraphQL API or a webhook), design the write to be idempotent — running it twice shouldn't create duplicates. This lets you safely retry failed operations after the platform recovers without manually auditing for double-entries.

5. For guest-heavy workflows: communicate proactively

When guests (clients, contractors, external reviewers) lose board access during an outage, they typically have no visibility into whether the issue is on their end or yours. Have a brief template ready to send via email or Slack when a guest-affecting outage starts — it prevents a wave of confused client messages and keeps trust intact.

How to Stay Ahead of Monday Outages

When Monday.com degrades, you want to know before your sprint planning kicks off, before a client's guest link breaks, and before the automation failures cascade into missed deadlines.

FAQ

Why are my Monday automations not firing?

The most common causes are: (1) Monday's automation engine is degraded — check Statusfield for a known incident; (2) the recipe hit an error on a previous run and was paused automatically — open the recipe, check its activity log, and look for a red error entry; (3) the trigger condition was met but the action step failed because a connected integration (Slack, Jira, etc.) lost its OAuth token. Automations that interact with external services are the most fragile during integration-layer outages.

Is Monday down for everyone or just my workspace?

Check Statusfield for a platform-wide incident. If Statusfield shows operational, the issue may be workspace-specific: check whether teammates in a different region can access boards (Monday.com has separate US and EU infrastructure), verify your browser isn't serving a stale cached version (hard-refresh with Cmd+Shift+R / Ctrl+Shift+R), and test on a different network to rule out corporate firewall interference.

How long do Monday.com outages typically last?

Most Monday.com incidents — board loading failures, automation pauses, integration hiccups — resolve within 30–60 minutes. API-layer degradations that affect developer integrations can occasionally persist for 1–2 hours during infrastructure incidents. Automation backlogs (where triggers queued during the outage are processed after recovery) can take an additional 30 minutes to flush. Track active incidents in real time via Statusfield.

Will automations that didn't fire during an outage run retroactively?

No — Monday.com automations are event-driven, not queue-backed. If a trigger event (a status change, a due date, an item creation) occurred during an outage window, the automation will not retroactively fire once the platform recovers. You'll need to manually execute the intended actions for any items that were created or updated during the downtime. This is one of the strongest arguments for documenting your automation logic as manual fallback procedures.

My Monday API integration is failing with 500 errors — is this an outage?

HTTP 500 errors from Monday's GraphQL API during a known platform incident confirm the failure is on Monday's side, not in your integration. Pause your integration's write operations to avoid creating partial or duplicate data, log the failed requests with their payloads, and re-run them after the incident resolves. Distinguish this from 4xx errors (which indicate a problem with your token, query structure, or column types) — those require changes on your end and won't self-resolve when the outage clears.
