Test Emails
Test that emails triggered by your app are delivered and look as expected
Sometimes in a test your app might trigger an email that you then want to check was delivered and looks as expected, we've included an example scenario below. You can achieve this in an AutoFlow automated test using a combination of features.
Example Scenario:
Note: We recommend using an email testing solution like Mailinator. This makes it easy to access and validate emails within your automated tests. Consumer email services like GMail risk authentication-related issues that cause your test to fail, e.g. a 2FA prompt when logging into the email account. We suggest using a free Mailinator Public Mailbox to get started and moving to a Private Mailbox/other solution later if there is sensitive data in your emails or you need any additional functionality.
For these kinds of test cases:
The video at the top of this guide provides more explanation on the above and an example. We strongly recommend that you watch this video before using this feature.
