Newsletter delivery failures are the most impactful Beehiiv issue. Here's how to systematically diagnose them:
Check the Beehiiv status page
An Email Delivery incident on status.beehiiv.com is the most common cause of delayed or failed sends. If there is an active incident, wait for the Beehiiv team to resolve it.
Check your post status in the dashboard
Go to Beehiiv → Posts and check the status of your newsletter. "Scheduled" means it has not sent yet. "Sending" means it is in progress. "Sent" with missing emails may indicate delivery issues rather than a sending failure.
Verify your sending domain configuration
If you use a custom sending domain, verify DNS records are correctly configured. Go to Beehiiv → Settings → Sending Domain and check for any warnings. A missing or invalid DKIM/SPF record can cause silent delivery failures.
Check your subscriber list health
A high bounce or spam complaint rate can trigger automatic send throttling. Go to Beehiiv → Subscribers and check for high unsubscribe or complaint rates. Segment and clean your list if needed.
Send a test email to yourself
Use Beehiiv → Posts → Send Test to send a test copy to your own email. If the test arrives but the bulk send has not, the issue is likely in the send queue, not your content or sending domain.
Common Beehiiv Issues and Fixes
| Symptom | Likely Cause | Where to Check |
|---|---|---|
| Newsletter not sending to any subscribers | Beehiiv email delivery incident | status.beehiiv.com → Email Delivery |
| Dashboard shows "Sending" for hours | Send queue backlog during incident | status.beehiiv.com + @beehiiv on X |
| Emails landing in spam | DKIM/SPF misconfiguration or reputation issue | Beehiiv → Settings → Sending Domain → DNS records |
| Beehiiv website down but dashboard works | Website Hosting incident or custom domain DNS issue | status.beehiiv.com → Website / Custom domain DNS settings |
| Subscriber forms not accepting signups | Subscriber Management incident or embed script issue | status.beehiiv.com → Subscriber Management |
| Analytics not updating | Analytics processing delay or incident | status.beehiiv.com → Analytics (delay up to 4 hrs is normal) |
| Beehiiv Boost ads not showing | Ad network maintenance or campaign pause | Beehiiv → Monetization → Boost + status page |
| Automations not triggering | Automation engine incident or misconfigured trigger | status.beehiiv.com → Automations + check trigger conditions |
| Paid subscriptions not processing | Stripe integration issue (Beehiiv uses Stripe) | Stripe status + Beehiiv → Monetization → Paid Subscriptions |
Beehiiv Custom Domain Issues
Custom domains add an additional troubleshooting layer. If your Beehiiv publication uses a custom domain (e.g., newsletter.yourbrand.com), issues may stem from your DNS rather than Beehiiv's infrastructure.
Beehiiv-Side Issues
- Website Hosting incident on status.beehiiv.com
- SSL certificate provisioning delay (after domain change)
- Custom domain misconfigured in Beehiiv settings
- Beehiiv CDN or edge network issue
Your-Side Issues
- Missing or incorrect CNAME record pointing to Beehiiv
- DNS propagation not complete after recent changes
- Conflicting A record or proxied record (e.g., Cloudflare proxy)
- Domain registrar DNS cache not cleared
dig your-domain.com CNAME to check your DNS record. It should point to Beehiiv's servers. If you use Cloudflare, ensure the DNS record for your Beehiiv subdomain is DNS-only (grey cloud), not proxied (orange cloud), as Cloudflare proxying can interfere with Beehiiv's SSL provisioning.Get alerted before your subscribers notice Beehiiv is down

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the official Beehiiv status page?
Beehiiv's official status page is at status.beehiiv.com. It shows real-time status for all Beehiiv platform components including the dashboard, email delivery, website/web app, API, and subscriber management. Check this page first any time you experience Beehiiv issues — if there is an active incident, it will be listed here along with updates from the Beehiiv team.
Why are my Beehiiv newsletters not sending?
Beehiiv newsletter sending failures have several common causes: (1) Beehiiv email delivery incident — check status.beehiiv.com for the Email Delivery component, (2) Your newsletter is scheduled but hasn't sent yet — check Beehiiv dashboard → Posts for the scheduled time, (3) Your subscriber list has a sending block due to high bounce or spam rates, (4) The email is stuck in Beehiiv's send queue — wait 30 minutes and check again, (5) Your custom sending domain has a DNS misconfiguration — check Beehiiv → Settings → Sending Domain. If the status page shows all-clear, contact Beehiiv support with the post URL and expected send time.
Why is the Beehiiv dashboard not loading?
If the Beehiiv dashboard at app.beehiiv.com is not loading, first check status.beehiiv.com for a Web Application or Dashboard incident. If no incident is listed, try: (1) Hard refresh the page (Ctrl+Shift+R / Cmd+Shift+R), (2) Clear browser cache and cookies for beehiiv.com, (3) Try a different browser or incognito/private mode, (4) Disable browser extensions that may interfere (ad blockers, cookie managers), (5) Check your internet connection — try a different network. If the issue persists after trying these steps, contact Beehiiv support at support.beehiiv.com.
Why is my Beehiiv website down but the dashboard works?
Beehiiv separates the publishing dashboard (app.beehiiv.com) from your public newsletter website (yourpublication.beehiiv.com or your custom domain). These are distinct infrastructure components. If your website is down but the dashboard is accessible, check: (1) status.beehiiv.com for a Website Hosting incident, (2) Your custom domain DNS settings if you use a custom domain — a DNS misconfiguration won't affect the Beehiiv dashboard, (3) SSL certificate status for your custom domain — Beehiiv auto-provisions certificates, but propagation takes time after domain changes.
How do I get notified when Beehiiv has an outage?
You can subscribe to Beehiiv status updates at status.beehiiv.com — click 'Subscribe to Updates' to receive email notifications for incidents and maintenance. For independent monitoring that alerts you before Beehiiv's own status page updates, use an uptime monitoring tool like Better Stack or APIStatusCheck to monitor your Beehiiv publication URL (your public newsletter website). Third-party monitoring gives you faster alerts because you're monitoring the end-user experience directly, not relying on Beehiiv to self-report.
