Summary

Synthetic browser tests enable monitoring of critical user workflows that generate email, including new signups, password resets, account changes, and purchase confirmations. These tests can automatically verify the content of emails sent by applications and test links in those emails to ensure a seamless user experience. Browser tests can be run on a schedule and monitored across multiple locations and devices, and they provide visibility into application performance alongside infrastructure metrics and logs. The tests also include built-in private inboxes for secure verification of email contents without the need for third-party services. By adding email workflows to browser tests, developers can ensure that their applications reliably generate emails with the expected information, proactively identifying potential issues before they impact users.
