Timeline

Newest first. From SendGrid's official status page, in their words.

  1. scheduled

    In order to increase the stability and scalability of our systems, we are performing maintenance on our infrastructure on November 4, 2026 from 14:00 until 16:00 PST. During this time customers may be temporarily unable to manage Mail Settings (Address Allow List, Bounce Purge, Event Notification, Footer, Forward Bounce, Forward Spam or Legacy Email Template) or related Tracking Settings, Event Webhook and Inbound Parse settings. Reading existing settings will function as normally. This maintenance does not impact mail send. Thank you for your patience through this maintenance.

What this means for a business

  • Pause scheduled campaigns if you can; otherwise they queue and send when it is back.
  • Reply to urgent customers from your normal mailbox.
  • Form leads and chats are usually kept and delivered late, not lost.
