Email & SMS testing made simple.
Designed for developers.
Mailisk is a fast email and SMS testing platform focused on simplicity and privacy.
Get unique subdomains and gain access to unlimited email addresses.
Trusted by QA teams worldwide — we safely process millions of emails every month.
Why Mailisk?
Mailisk gives QA and engineering teams one focused place to test email, SMS, MFA, agent workflows, and deliverability signals without building custom inbox infrastructure.
E2E email testing
Capture real emails during Cypress, Playwright, and API tests. Validate verification links, password resets, notifications, and receipts without relying on mocks.
SMS and OTP flows
Read inbound SMS messages from dedicated test numbers and assert one-time passwords, passwordless logins, and MFA steps from the same suite.
TOTP-based MFA
Generate authenticator app codes and manage saved virtual TOTP devices so tests can cover enrollment, challenge, and recovery flows.
MCP for agents
Let coding agents create test addresses, wait for inbound emails, and extract codes or links through Mailisk MCP during development and QA.
Deliverability checks
Inspect SPF, DKIM, DMARC, DNS, header, and content signals from received emails to catch obvious deliverability problems before release.
Attachments
Test emails with attachments and retrieve files through the dashboard or API. Attachments remain available until the message expires.
Private namespaces
Give each project its own namespace and use unlimited generated addresses under your Mailisk subdomain for isolated, repeatable tests.
Privacy-friendly retention
Emails, attachments, and SMS content are short-lived test data. They are deleted automatically at expiry and stored on EU-based infrastructure.
How does it work?
Send an email to your Mailisk address – we handle it
You can then access it via the API
Mailisk test flow
Playwright with the Node SDK
import { test, expect } from "@playwright/test";
import { MailiskClient } from "mailisk";
const mailisk = new MailiskClient({
apiKey: process.env.MAILISK_API_KEY,
});
test("verifies a password reset email", async ({ page }) => {
const namespace = "qa-team";
const inbox = `reset-${Date.now()}`;
const email = `${inbox}@${namespace}.mailisk.net`;
await page.goto("/password/forgot");
await page.getByLabel("Email").fill(email);
await page.getByRole("button", { name: "Send reset link" }).click();
const { data } = await mailisk.searchInbox(namespace, {
to_addr_prefix: inbox,
subject_includes: "Reset your password",
});
const resetUrl = data[0].text.match(/https:\/\/\S+/)?.[0];
expect(resetUrl).toContain("/password/reset");
await page.goto(resetUrl);
await expect(page.getByRole("heading", { name: "Reset password" })).toBeVisible();
