Why Trivumo + CI/CD
Your pipeline should catch broken email workflows before production.
Trivumo gives CI jobs isolated test inboxes, fast email polling, structured message extraction, and predictable assertions without shared inboxes, IMAP scripts, or environment-specific mail traps.
Wait for incoming emails
Block the test until the exact message arrives, then assert on structured inbox data.
Verify email delivery
Prove the app sent the expected message to the right test inbox before continuing.
Extract OTP codes
Read verification codes from real email content without brittle regex scripts in every test.
Extract links
Pull password reset, magic link, invite, and verification URLs directly from the message.
Validate email content
Check subjects, recipients, rendered text, HTML, and template variables before users see them.
Test password resets
Complete forgot-password journeys from UI trigger to inbox, token link, and final login.
Test magic links
Open passwordless auth links inside the same automated browser session and assert sign-in.
Run in CI/CD
Use dedicated test inboxes in local development, preview deployments, staging, and pipelines.
Code Example
Email Testing in GitHub Actions
Wait for the inbox event, read structured email data, and continue your browser test without brittle polling or manual inbox access.
Works for OTP verification, password resets, magic links, email verification, invitations, and notification workflows.

FAQ
CI/CD email testing questions
Quick answers for teams adding automated inbox validation to browser tests, staging environments, and CI pipelines.
How do I test emails in CI/CD?+
Create a test inbox during your pipeline run, trigger the email from your browser or API test, wait for the message with Trivumo, extract OTPs or links, and continue with normal assertions.
Does Trivumo work with GitHub Actions?+
Yes. Store your Trivumo API key as a GitHub Actions secret, run your existing test command, and let the test suite call Trivumo when it needs to create inboxes or wait for emails.
Can CI tests run in parallel?+
Yes. Generate unique inboxes per test or worker so parallel jobs do not collide or read each other's messages.
Can I validate staging and preview links?+
Yes. Trivumo lets your tests inspect links in real emails, so CI can assert that staging and preview emails point to the expected environment.
Which CI systems are supported?+
Trivumo works anywhere your tests can make API calls, including GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, CircleCI, Azure DevOps, Buildkite, TeamCity, and custom runners.
Do I need MailHog or a local SMTP server?+
No. Trivumo provides hosted test inboxes and email APIs, so CI jobs can validate realistic email workflows without maintaining local mail infrastructure.
