Free Temporary Email for QA & Automation Testing
Essential for QA engineers running automated tests. Generate unlimited test emails on demand.
The classic QA failure mode with email is shared state: a team-wide test Gmail account that every suite polls, where run #47's verification email gets consumed by run #48, and nobody can tell which message belongs to which test. The fix is structural — one fresh mailbox per test run — and that's precisely what disposable addresses make cheap. Each Selenium, Playwright, or Cypress run generates its own address via the tempy.email API, drives the registration flow with it, waits for the verification email, and finishes with zero state left over for the next run to trip on.
This matters most at the suite level. Parallel execution stops being scary when workers can't share an inbox; nightly regression runs stop accumulating hundreds of stale test messages; and email-dependent scenarios — signup confirmation, password reset, email-based 2FA — become deterministic instead of the flakiest tests in the suite. QA teams also use per-run addresses for multi-user scenarios (inviter and invitee, admin and member) where each role needs a distinct working email in the same test. The pattern composes with the official npm package for JS stacks, or the plain REST API from Python, Java, or C# — create mailbox, poll for message, extract code, assert.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a unique email address for every test run?
Create a mailbox through the tempy.email developer API at the start of the test (or per worker) — each call returns a fresh, unique address. Nothing is shared between runs, which eliminates the cross-test contamination shared inboxes cause.
Does this work with Selenium and Playwright?
Yes — any framework that can make an HTTP call can create and poll a mailbox via the REST API. JavaScript stacks can use the official @tempyemail/e2e-testing package; other languages call the API directly.
Can I test email-based 2FA flows automatically?
Yes. The test triggers the 2FA challenge, polls the disposable mailbox for the incoming code, extracts it (the npm package does this automatically), and submits it — turning a historically manual verification step into a normal automated assertion.
How do multi-user scenarios work?
Create one mailbox per role — inviter and invitee, admin and member — inside the same test. Each address receives only its own messages, so you can assert that the invitation went to the right user with the right content.
