Navigate to Email Sandbox

Go to your first Sandbox by clicking Sandboxes, then My Sandbox.

By default, we created a sandbox for you and called it "My Sandbox". The Edit button on the far right allows you to rename either a project or a sandbox.

Once inside My Sandbox, copy the credentials from the Integration tab to your clipboard.

Or, use one of the pre-made code snippets for major programming languages and frameworks:

Send your first test email

After sending the first test email, you can immediately find it in your Mailtrap sandbox.

Click on the email, and proceed to inspect and debug it by selecting the HTML Check tab.

Lastly, you can automate the QA flow with API if you need it.

Bonus: Invite your colleagues

Mailtrap is a collaborative tool. Starting from the Team Plan, you can create different sandboxes and projects and share them with your colleagues.

This allows you to organize all testing-related workflows among different people, from user management with different permissions to SSO.
