Check Salesforce's official status dashboard

Salesforce Status Dashboard

Look for community reports

Crowd-sourced signals can confirm widespread login failures, data sync errors, or dashboard loading issues across instances and orgs.

Downdetector reports

Verify with independent monitoring

Use API Status Check for third-party monitoring that verifies real endpoints and tracks historical incidents.

What happens when Salesforce goes down?

Unable to login or access organization

Users may encounter 'Unable to login' errors, blank screens after authentication, or forced logouts when Salesforce identity services are down.

Data not syncing or showing stale records

CRM records may not update, show old data, or fail to save changes when Salesforce's database replication is experiencing lag or failures.

Dashboard or reports not loading

Custom dashboards, reports, and analytics may show loading spinners indefinitely or return 'Data unavailable' errors during outages.

API errors or rate limiting

Integrations may encounter 500/503 errors, timeout failures, or unexpected rate limits when Salesforce API infrastructure is degraded.

How do I troubleshoot Salesforce issues?

  1. 1

    Verify your Salesforce instance status

    Check status.salesforce.com and find your specific instance (e.g., NA144, EU28). Outages are often instance-specific, not global.

  2. 2

    Clear browser cache and cookies

    Stale session data can cause login or loading issues. Clear Salesforce cookies, log out completely, and log back in.

  3. 3

    Try Salesforce Classic vs Lightning

    If Lightning Experience isn't loading, switch to Salesforce Classic (or vice versa) to determine if the issue is UI-specific.

  4. 4

    Check API call limits and quotas

    For API errors, verify you haven't exceeded your org's daily API call limit in Setup > System Overview > API Usage.

  5. 5

    Test with incognito or different browser

    Browser extensions or cached scripts can interfere. Try accessing Salesforce in incognito mode or a different browser.

What is Salesforce's current status?

API Status Check tracks Salesforce status with independent monitoring, uptime stats, and incident history so you can confirm outages quickly.

  • Independent Salesforce status checks

    API Status Check performs independent monitoring so you can verify Salesforce status even if official instance updates are delayed.

  • Incident history and uptime data

    Review recent incidents, response times, and reliability trends to understand Salesforce's platform stability for your CRM.

  • Real-time alerts and integrations

    Get notified with email alerts, RSS feeds, and webhooks when Salesforce experiences a new incident or API degradation.

What can I do during a Salesforce outage?

Use Salesforce mobile app

If the web interface is down, the Salesforce mobile app may still be functional for viewing records and basic CRM operations.

Access via Salesforce API directly

If the web UI is slow, developers can query data directly via REST or SOAP APIs using tools like Postman or Workbench.

Queue changes for later sync

If data sync is failing, document changes locally and re-apply them once Salesforce recovers to avoid data conflicts.

Monitor recovery via API Status Check

Set up alerts to get notified the moment Salesforce recovers from an outage and data syncing or dashboard access is restored.

Frequently asked questions about Salesforce status

Is Salesforce down right now?

Check status.salesforce.com for your specific instance and API Status Check for independent monitoring. If both show issues, Salesforce is likely down.

Why can't I log into Salesforce?

Login failures during widespread reports indicate identity service issues. Try clearing cookies, resetting your password, or waiting for recovery.

Why is my Salesforce data not syncing?

Data sync failures indicate backend database replication issues. Changes should eventually propagate once Salesforce resolves the incident.

Are Salesforce outages instance-specific?

Yes, Salesforce uses many regional instances (NA144, EU28, etc.). An outage may affect one instance while others remain fully operational.

Why are Salesforce APIs returning 503 errors?

503 errors indicate service unavailability. Implement retry logic with exponential backoff and check status.salesforce.com for API-specific incidents.

How can I get Salesforce outage alerts?

Subscribe to alerts on API Status Check to receive real-time notifications when Salesforce has an incident or API issue.
