I've never used monads, but what you say makes me think of something:

Suppose I had a Javascript array of functions. And I pass that array into another function that performs that series of functions in order while maybe doing something in between each one. For example, maybe I can pass that list into a function that checks to make sure the result of each call isn't null or undefined. Or maybe I can pass the same list into another function that checks to make sure none of the results are NaN. Would this be an example of monadic behavior?
