TempMailGrab Integrations
Use TempMailGrab as a manual disposable inbox, or plug it into a developer workflow. This hub connects every integration path that helps teams test signup, OTP, password reset, and email verification flows.

Recommended CI pattern
- Create a TempMailGrab API key from the dashboard.
- Store it as a CI secret named
TMG_API_KEY. - Create one inbox per test or per parallel worker.
- Submit the generated address inside the signup or reset flow.
- Read
extracted_otporextracted_linksfrom the API response. - Delete the inbox in teardown when tests generate heavy mail or attachments.
Manual workflow integrations
- Chrome extension for toolbar access and autofill.
- Firefox add-on for privacy-focused desktop browsing.
- Android app for phone-first OTP handling.
- iPhone web app for Safari/Home Screen use.
Last verified: . Integration examples are intentionally narrow: one inbox per test, structured OTP fields, and clear teardown behavior.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best TempMailGrab integration for developers?
Start with the OpenAPI spec or Postman import guide, then use the Playwright or Cypress guide if your workflow is browser-based.
Should tests share one temporary inbox?
No. Create one inbox per test or per parallel worker so OTPs and verification links do not cross between runs.
Can webhooks replace polling?
Yes. Register a webhook to receive parsed message payloads, including extracted OTP and links, when mail arrives.
