An inbox your agent can read.

A real email address for sign-up tests. Codes and magic links are pulled out for you.

About Temporary email inbox

Get a real, receive-only email address in one second. Use it to sign up to the app you are testing, then read the message here or let your AI agent wait for it. One-time codes and verification links are extracted automatically.

When to use it

Test a sign-up or password-reset flow end to end, by hand or with an AI agent, without a real mailbox.

Temporary email inbox example
Address: [email protected]
Subject: Confirm your email
Code: 700412
Verification link: https://app.example/verify?token=…

How to use it

  1. Open the page: an address is created for you.
  2. Use the address to sign up, reset a password or receive any test email.
  3. Copy the extracted code or open the verification link, or call wait_for_email from your agent.

Limits & privacy

Addresses last one hour without an account, up to 7 days on Free, 30 on Pro and 90 on Team. Each inbox keeps up to 100 messages; text and HTML are stored up to 64 KiB each and attachments are listed but not stored. Receive-only: nothing can be sent from these addresses. Reading messages always needs the private token or your workspace.
