Use case
Temporary email for QA testing
Create isolated test inboxes for signups, verification codes, password resets, magic links, and SaaS onboarding flows.
QA teams need repeatable email tests without reusing personal inboxes or polluting a shared mailbox. TempMailito gives every scenario a clean disposable address, visible message history, verification-code extraction, and API automation when manual checks are no longer enough.
What QA teams can test
- New user signup and account confirmation emails.
- OTP and verification-code delivery.
- Password reset and expired reset-link behavior.
- Magic link and passwordless login flows.
- Invite, referral, and onboarding email sequences.
Recommended workflow
- Create one temporary inbox per test scenario.
- Use a clear local part such as
signup-basicorotp-login-check. - Run the product flow and wait for the email.
- Copy the verification code or open the relevant link.
- Save the inbox in a profile when the bug report needs evidence.
Manual and automated QA
Manual inboxes are ideal for release smoke tests. For regression suites, use the TempMailito API to create mailboxes, poll messages, read content, and validate expected senders or subjects.
