Receive Emails

Create a Setup Email Inbox step or operation to create an inbox. Stably can receive emails on your behalf by generating an email for your use. The email will be stored in a variable which can be used in later steps.

When generating emails through Stably, you must include a unique identifier. You can choose between two types of identifiers:

Static: Uses the same identifier for all test runs

Dynamic: Creates a unique identifier for each test run. This can be implemented in two ways:

• Simply click the Use dynamic inbox address button to automatically generate a new email address for each run. It will generate the name from the current date
• Write your own code to create dynamic identifiers based on your specific requirements

To use your own email address, navigate to the Normal tab in the interface. Please note that when using your personal email, you will need to manually monitor and check all sent communications yourself.

Continue adding steps to the test to trigger an email send from your website and utilize the previously defined variable to access the generated email.

Add the Receive and Extract Email step or operation to your test. Specify the expected inbox and extract content from incoming emails. As of now, we only support the extraction of login related contents such as One-Time Passwords (OTP) or Magic Links, which can be specified in the Extraction Type field. The extracted value will be stored in a variable.
