About this episode
Do you have an automation test that requires you to test the sending emails and create user accounts workflows? How about testing SMS? In this episode, Jack Lawrence, a cofounder of Mailinator, and Brooks Nelson, the head of Mailinator's Business Development, will share how to test your email delivery systems without risking sending them to a real-life audience. Discover how to use the Mailinator API to send emails and to send and receive SMS to test code at the development and QA Testing stages, using frameworks like Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, Puppeteer, and more.
We'd love for you to get a taste for Mailinator with a free trial: https://www.mailinator.com/v4/public/inboxes.jsp?trialshow=true&to=googlebusinessprofilemanager48104
I think there are some interesting this to discuss regarding Mailinator's history and how it stands above other solutions from an “enterprise grade" standpoint. Mailinator has been around since 2003 and because it began as a free public service, the systems have had to withstand the worst of the internet's efforts to break it and abuse it. Some of the world's most well known brands leverage Mailinator's API to ensure that their email and SMS workflows are intact; Docusign, Dropbox, Fitbit (Google), HP, IBM, Toyota, BMW, GM… the list goes on.
We've also recently launched a premium free tier for Developers and Testers called Verified Pro. The goal is to give the full functionality (API access and a private domain) of Mailinator to members of the testing and development community.
