Is Trivumo a hosted MailHog alternative?

Yes. Trivumo removes the need to run a local SMTP capture service and provides hosted message capture plus APIs for automated email assertions.

Can I use Trivumo locally and in CI?

Yes. The same API works from local tests, staging, preview deployments, and CI pipelines.

Do I need to rewrite all MailHog tests at once?

No. Migrate one flow at a time by replacing the message polling and parsing layer with Trivumo message filtering and wait-for-email calls.

Why Trivumo

Built for testing complete email-driven user journeys

Trivumo helps QA and engineering teams validate the entire email-driven workflow—from delivery and content validation to OTP extraction, link verification, and completing the user journey within automated tests.

Domain-based test email addresses

Generate unlimited email addresses on your team domain and route emails to specific tests, environments, branches, or CI workers without collisions.

Wait For Email APIs

Reliably wait for the exact email your application sends instead of relying on arbitrary delays, mailbox polling hacks, or custom IMAP integrations.

OTP & Data Extraction

Extract OTPs, verification codes, links, and structured data directly from emails so tests can continue automatically.

Link & Content Validation

Verify reset links, magic links, invitation URLs, recipients, subjects, headers, and email content before customers see them.

Hosted Email Previews

Inspect rendered emails, headers, and metadata through shareable email previews that simplify debugging failed test runs.

Code examples

Replace mailbox plumbing with one wait-for-email flow.

Use Trivumo from Node.js, Python, or direct REST calls to create inboxes, wait for messages, extract OTPs, and validate links.

email-workflow.spec.tswait for email

import { TrivumoClient } from "trivumo";

const trivumo = new TrivumoClient({
  apiKey: process.env.TRIVUMO_API_KEY!,
  domain: process.env.TRIVUMO_DOMAIN!,
});

const email = trivumo.generateEmail();

await page.fill("[name=email]", email);

const message = await trivumo.waitForMessageAfter(
  () => page.click("text=Send verification"),
  {
    to: email,
    subject: "Verify your account",
  }
);

const otp =
  message.html?.codes[0] ??
  message.text?.codes[0];

const verifyLink =
  message.html?.links[0]?.href;

await page.goto(verifyLink!);
await page.fill("[name=otp]", otp!);

Common email workflows

Cover the email flows that block releases

Turn critical user journeys into repeatable automated tests using generated email addresses and structured assertions.

Password Reset

Request a reset, capture the email, follow the link, and assert the new password works.

Account Verification

Verify signup emails, OTPs, and activation links across staging and preview environments.

Magic Link Login

Wait for a login link, validate its destination, and continue the authenticated browser flow.

Invitations

Assert team invites, role metadata, recipient addresses, and acceptance links.

Notifications

Validate transactional email content, links, and delivery behavior after product events.

Migration

Start validating email workflows in minutes

Get an API key, install the SDK, and start validating OTPs, magic links, password resets, and other email-driven workflows directly within your automated tests.

Create a Trivumo account

Generate an API key and configure your team email domain for development, staging, or CI environments.

Install the SDK

Add the Trivumo SDK to your Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, or custom test framework with a few lines of code.

Validate email workflows

Wait for emails, extract OTPs and links, and continue the user journey to verify complete email-driven flows.

Ready to migrate?

Switch from MailHog to Trivumo for your next email test.

Generate a test address on your domain, trigger a real product email, wait for the message, extract the data your test needs, and ship with more confidence.
