OTP and verification flows
Create a fresh private inbox for every test, wait for the message, and read otp_code and otp_service.
Real integration patterns
Common testing workflows.
Use MailDrop for OTP flows, signup testing, CI automation, webhook testing, and QA isolation.
CI end-to-end tests
Use idempotent inbox creation, poll through the SDK, and delete resources after the test.
Signup and onboarding QA
Test confirmation links and welcome emails without sharing a public mailbox.
Webhook-driven automation
Receive message.received events at a signed HTTPS endpoint.
Manual privacy use
Open the public inbox site when a one-off disposable address is enough.
Multi-environment testing
Separate test and live keys, scopes, quotas, and audit history.
