Temporary Email for QA Testing: A Simple Workflow for Teams
QA and product teams often need many inboxes to test onboarding, verification, and password reset flows. A temporary email workflow helps you test faster without polluting real inboxes.
What you can test with temporary inboxes
- Sign‑up confirmations
- OTP codes and verification links
- Password reset emails
- Marketing and lifecycle campaigns
- Transactional email templates
A simple workflow
- Generate an inbox: TempMailbox
- Run the test scenario and trigger the email.
- Refresh and open the message.
- Record results (subject line, CTA link, formatting, deliverability).
- Repeat with a new inbox for clean isolation.
Tips for reliable testing
- Use separate inboxes per test case to avoid confusion.
- Verify link targets and UTM parameters.
- If a domain is blocked in your staging environment, switch domains.
