Is PandaDoc Down? How to Check PandaDoc Status Right Now
PandaDoc handles proposals, quotes, contracts, and e-signatures for sales and legal teams closing deals every day. When it goes down, proposals don't go out and signatures don't come back. Here's how to check PandaDoc's status, diagnose common delivery issues, and stay ahead of outages.
⚡ Quick PandaDoc Status Check
How to Check if PandaDoc is Down
1. status.pandadoc.com (Official)
PandaDoc's official status page shows real-time status for the web app, document editor, sending/signing workflow, API, and integrations. Subscribe to webhook or email updates to get notified the moment an incident is created, updated, or resolved.
2. APIStatusCheck
APIStatusCheck aggregates status across hundreds of services including PandaDoc. Useful when checking PandaDoc alongside Salesforce, HubSpot, or Stripe integrations simultaneously.
3. Twitter/X Search
Search "PandaDoc down" or "PandaDoc not working" for real-time user reports. Sales teams often report issues on social media before the official status page updates.
4. Document Activity Log
In your PandaDoc dashboard, open the document and check the Activity tab. If a document shows "Sent" but the recipient reports not receiving it, the issue is likely email delivery rather than a platform-wide outage.
Monitor your document workflow pipeline independently
When PandaDoc goes down, proposals stall and deals miss deadlines. Better Stack gives you independent monitoring so you know about outages the moment they happen.

Why PandaDoc Documents Might Not Deliver (Even When PandaDoc is Up)
Before assuming PandaDoc is down, rule out these common delivery and configuration issues:
Document stuck in Draft
A document that was never actually sent (just saved) will never notify a recipient. Check the document status column in your dashboard — it should read "Sent" or "Viewed," not "Draft."
Email filtered to spam
Corporate email security gateways often flag PandaDoc notification emails. Ask the recipient to check spam/junk and whitelist pandadoc.com sending addresses.
Wrong recipient email address
A typo in the recipient field will silently fail. Check the Activity tab for a bounce event and correct the address before resending.
Signing link expired
If your workspace has document expiration enabled, old links stop working after the set period. Resend the document to generate a fresh, valid link.
API authentication failure
For integrations using PandaDoc's API, expired or revoked API keys/OAuth tokens will cause silent send failures from your CRM. Check your integration's error logs for 401/403 responses.
Recipient role misconfiguration
If a document has multiple signers in a specific signing order, a recipient won't be notified until prior signers in the sequence complete their fields — this looks like non-delivery but is by design.
What to Do When PandaDoc is Down
Check status.pandadoc.com immediately
Confirm it's a platform outage vs a local delivery or configuration issue. If PandaDoc shows operational, the problem is almost certainly email delivery or document status.
Communicate proactively with recipients
For time-sensitive proposals or contracts, notify recipients that PandaDoc is experiencing issues and provide an estimated resolution timeline.
Use alternative signing for critical deadlines
For truly time-critical documents during an extended outage, alternatives include DocuSign, Dropbox Sign (HelloSign), or Adobe Acrobat Sign. Most accept the same PDF documents.
Pause API-driven document creation
If your CRM is programmatically generating proposals via the PandaDoc API, pause that automation during an outage to avoid queuing failed requests.
Subscribe to PandaDoc status alerts
Visit status.pandadoc.com and subscribe to updates so future incidents reach you immediately — critical when a deal is on the line.
Independent monitoring for your document workflows
Better Stack monitors your proposal and e-signature pipeline independently so you catch PandaDoc outages immediately — not after a deal missed its deadline.

How do I check if PandaDoc is down right now?
Check status.pandadoc.com for the official status. Search "PandaDoc down" on Twitter/X for real-time reports. APIStatusCheck aggregates PandaDoc and hundreds of other service statuses in one place.
Why isn't my PandaDoc proposal being received by the recipient?
Most common causes: the document was never actually sent (still in Draft), the email is filtered to the recipient's spam folder, or the email address has a typo. Check the document's Activity tab for delivery events.
How often does PandaDoc go down?
PandaDoc has occasional minor incidents, typically involving the document editor or specific components rather than the entire platform. Full outages affecting sending and signing simultaneously are rare.
Can I use PandaDoc's API during a web app outage?
Sometimes. PandaDoc's API and web application can be affected independently. Check status.pandadoc.com for component-level status — if only the dashboard is affected but the API shows operational, integrations may continue working.
What are the best PandaDoc alternatives for backup signing?
DocuSign, Dropbox Sign (HelloSign), Adobe Acrobat Sign, and SignNow are popular e-signature alternatives. For quote-to-cash workflows specifically, Proposify and Qwilr are worth evaluating.
