Can we run OTP and MFA testing in CI pipelines?

Yes. MailSlurp supports deterministic waits and programmable auth artifacts so OTP and MFA paths can be tested reliably in automation.

Does this work for both QA and campaign teams?

Yes. Engineering teams validate auth and transaction paths while campaign teams use rendering and deliverability checks.

How do we reduce flaky messaging tests?

Use isolated inboxes and numbers per run, then apply wait-for and extraction helpers to assert links and codes deterministically.

What should we test first?

Start with sign-up, login, password reset, and high-volume notification flows since these are highest risk for customer impact.
