Mabl Mailbox steps are now available in mobile tests! You can use Mailbox steps to validate things like:
- new account flows that require accessing email
- login flows where a code is emailed to the user as part of authentication
- asserting that email content contains the correct information
Mobile mailbox steps function just like the existing web mailbox steps and can leverage all existing mabl Mailbox config inside your workspace.
Try it out
To add a mailbox step in a mobile test navigate to the add steps menu, where you'll find the mailbox step options. Here you can create temporary email addresses or leverage permanent testing email addresses that already exist in your workspace.
When an email has been sent, you can open it using the "Open mabl Mailbox" option. The email opens in the device browser:
- On Android devices, emails open in Chrome.
- On iOS devices, emails open in Safari.
With the email open in the browser, you can perform assertions and extract values as variables as needed to meet your testing goals.
When you're ready to return to the app under test, use the "Navigate to primary app" button in the mobile toolbar to quickly navigate back to your original app.
