Is Trivumo a Mailinator alternative for automated tests?

Yes. Trivumo focuses on private, API-first email testing for automated QA, including isolated addresses, wait-for-email APIs, OTP extraction, and link validation.

Can I replace disposable inbox checks gradually?

Yes. Start by moving one flaky password reset, signup verification, or magic link test to Trivumo, then reuse the same domain address pattern across the suite.

Does Trivumo work with Playwright and Cypress?

Yes. Trivumo works from browser automation tests, backend tests, and direct REST API calls, so you can use it with Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, and Puppeteer.

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
