Mailgun::Mailbox

This library allows to have a disposable email address service built on top of subset of Mailgun Events and Storage API. It does not require creating email address in advance. We use this library as a part of our Cucumber Testing Framework to validate that emails are actually get sent to end users. Also every test case should be independent from other test cases - email addresses should be unique every time.

Installation

gem 'mailgun-mailbox'

@email_address = Mailgun::Mailbox.generate_email()

#Here your app will send email message with specific subject to generated email address
#...

email = Mailgun::Mailbox.wait_for_email(<know subject>, email_address)
