Email Confirmation
Email Confirmation
LazyHippo spins up disposable inboxes, receives real confirmation emails, extracts verification links, and clicks them automatically.
How it works
LazyHippo spins up a temporary email address for each test run via Resend. When the target app sends a confirmation email, the hippo intercepts it, extracts the verification link, and clicks it.
If the site does not require email confirmation, this step is automatically skipped. If you use custom credentials, the hippo notes that it cannot intercept your inbox and proceeds directly to sign-in.
Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| email_confirmation | boolean | Enable/disable email interception for this test run |
| emailTimeoutSeconds | number | How long to wait for the confirmation email (default: 180s) |
Email confirmation timeline
flow
1. Signup submitted with hippo_test_xxxx@lazyhippo.dev
2. Listening for inbound email... (up to 3 min)
3. Email received (2.3s) -- extracted confirmation link
4. Clicked confirmation link
5. Redirected back to app -- email verifiedWarning
When using custom credentials with email confirmation enabled, LazyHippo cannot intercept emails sent to your address. You will need to confirm the email manually, or disable email confirmation.
