Msgdrop is a RESTful API which provides several key features: - Disposable email addresses from an API - Accessing inboxes through an API - Webhook URLs for testing - Enrol and generate 2FA codes from an API No fake SMTP servers, just one simple API.

Hello Product Hunters, My name is Dustin and today I am pleased to launch Msgdrop, a simple to use RESTful API for Email, Webhook and Two-factor authentication testing. Are you facing challenges with automation tests around user journeys involving email like sending out verification links, magic login links, password reset emails, or two-factor authentication (2FA)? Let me introduce you to https://msgdrop.io, a one-stop solution which provides several key features: - Disposable email addresses from an API - Accessing an inbox through an API - Webhook URLs for testing - Enrol and generate 2FA codes from an API Msgdrop operates its own mail server which means that you don't have to configure a fake SMTP server in order to test mail. Msgdrop works for everyone, including customers who use services such as Mailgun, SendGrid or Resend. Your software sends real emails to actual addresses, and your tests can query these inboxes via HTTP API calls. Additional features include: - Spam testing - Spam scoring - Testing of email attachments - URL auto-discovery - and many more For 2FA testing, you can submit OTP details (e.g. the TOTP secret) or a QR code image to our API in order to enrol, then generate verification codes through the same API - similar to using an app on a phone. Gone are the days where multi-factor authentication had to be feature flagged and disabled in staging and test environments.

@dustedcodes All the best. Does this also integrate with test case generation softwares, so that I can test these as part of my sanity and automate them?

@msnkarthik I had to look up what a test case generator software was if I'm honest. I have never used such a tool, but I don't see why Msgdrop wouldn't integrate with other tools as it is entirely API driven. If you can tell me a particular test case generator software which you are using and what you'd expect from such an integration then then I can certainly take a look and see what I can do on my end!

Hey Dustin, this is super impressive! 🎉 Msgdrop sounds like a game changer for testing. No more hassle with fake SMTP setups? That's such a relief! The disposable emails feature alone is a big win for anyone doing automated tests. Also, love that it supports services like Mailgun and SendGrid. Can't wait to give it a try and see how it simplifies my workflow. Keep up the great work!

@blankwebdev Thank you for the kind words and glad that you like it. It's definitely a game changer in making automation tests around email much simpler and reliable, without fake SMTP servers, without hacky UI interactions and without having to parse emails yourself in order to interact with URLs or attachments and other elements from it. I can also highly recommend it for two-factor authentication scenarios in test environments. I've seen too often how teams disable MFA/2FA in their test environments because QA engineers don't know how to overcome the hurdle from an automated test. Well, with Msgdrop you can enrol and generate 2FA codes from an API making it really easy now.

Interesting tool ! I thought it’s surprising to give the possibility to test e-mail, webhook and 2FA

@pydubreucq Yes, and there is more to come, this is just the beginning!
