Email Testing and SMS Workflow Testing

Mailinator is more than a temporary email address. Developers and QA teams use it to test sign-ups, password resets, and 2FA codes, with trillions of inboxes ready to go. Test by hand, through the API, or with Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, or Puppeteer. Either way, you see every message in real time.

Mailinator Email Workflow Testing

Quality Assurance

Utilize Mailinator to perform QA testing on your email delivery systems, without risking sending to a real-life audience. In fact, every subscription comes with nearly unlimited “temporary email” addresses at your own private testing domain.

Email Receipt Testing

Verify that your bulk email delivery services are working as intended with your own private testing domain. For example, whether you need 10 or 10,000,000 temporary email addresses, Mailinator can help.

Load Testing

Test the resiliency and scalability of your email delivery systems by performing load testing in a safe, development environment with Mailinator’s private email testing domain. Note that an Enterprise subscription is required.

Email Interactions

With Mailinator’s set of programmable rules for email interactions, you can create your own rules. For example, click all links, or even webhook to platforms outside of Mailinator like Slack.

Mailinator's Free Disposable Email

In fact, Mailinator still offers a 100% free, public temporary or disposable email address. As always, you can use any address @mailinator.com and check those public inboxes by entering the public inbox in the field below for email workflow testing.

How Mailinator Works

Every app sends email. Sign-up links, receipts, OTP codes, and password resets all need to arrive fast and look right. Mailinator gives you inboxes your tests can read, so you can check each message before real users do.

1. Send a test email to any address

Point your app at any address on a public or private Mailinator domain. There is nothing to create first. The inbox exists the moment mail arrives.

2. Read it in real time

Open the message in the web UI, or pull it through the Mailinator API from your test suite. Grab the link, code, or attachment and assert on it.

3. Automate the whole flow

Run the same checks in CI on every build. Use email interactions and webhooks to click links or forward messages to tools like Slack.
