Use MailSlurp to create email accounts on demand for QA, development, and operational automation.

Quick answer

If your team needs to create email accounts programmatically, use an email API that supports inbox provisioning, lifecycle controls, send and receive operations, and audit visibility.

What you can build with create email API workflows

  • Disposable inboxes for isolated test runs
  • Shared team inboxes for support and operations
  • Permanent inboxes for long-running workflows
  • Custom domain inboxes for brand-aligned testing

How account creation works

  1. Call API to create inbox
  2. Store inbox ID and email address
  3. Send and receive messages from code
  4. Parse content and attachments as needed
  5. Delete or retain inbox by lifecycle policy

Why this is better than manual mailbox setup

  • Faster provisioning in CI and staging
  • Better test isolation and reproducibility
  • Lower maintenance than ad hoc mailbox management
  • Easier scale across multiple environments
