CORE USE CASES

Start here — the scenarios every team tests

The most common testing workflows. If you're new to Sandbox or migrating from another tool, these four cover the flows your app relies on most.

EMAIL

Transactional Email Testing

Replace your SMTP provider with a mock SMTP server in staging. Every email your app sends — welcome, password reset, order confirmation — lands in Sandbox instead of a real inbox. Inspect HTML rendering, score deliverability, and validate every detail before a single real user sees it.

SMS

SMS OTP Testing

Test your SMS OTP flow end-to-end — request, delivery, expiry, retry — without a real carrier, real credits, or real recipients. Validate Sender ID, message body, and DLT template rendering in a mock SMS gateway before a single real number is contacted.

WEBHOOK

Webhook Testing

Point your services at an authenticated webhook endpoint instead of a real destination. Every payload — Stripe, GitHub, Discord, or your own — lands in a permanent team inbox. Inspect headers, body, and validation status. No more "did the webhook fire" in Slack.

TOTP

OTP and 2FA Testing

Test your entire 2FA login flow — enrollment, code generation, validation, expiry, and retry — without a real authenticator app or real user credentials. QA signs off on the flow before any real user goes through it. Covers both TOTP and email OTP flows.

FAQ'S

Common Questions About Testing With Sandbox

Do I need real phone numbers, email accounts, or bank credentials to test these flows?

No. Every scenario runs entirely inside Sandbox — a mock SMTP server, a mock SMS gateway, a real authenticated webhook endpoint, and a TOTP inbox. No real recipients, carriers, or user credentials are ever involved.

Can I run these tests inside CI/CD pipelines?

Yes. Every inbox and endpoint in Sandbox is reachable via API, so you can wire email, SMS, webhook, and OTP checks directly into your pipeline instead of running them manually before each release.

Do I need a separate Sandbox account for each testing flow?

No. One Sandbox workspace covers email, SMS, webhooks, and TOTP — your whole team works from the same account and sees the same test data.

What if my exact use case isn't listed on this page?

Request it. Tell us what you're building and what you want to simulate, and our team will put together a step-by-step guide and sample code for your specific stack.

Is there a limit to how many test emails, SMS, webhooks, or OTPs I can send?

Limits are based on your plan. All plans include a generous free tier suitable for staging and QA workflows.
