Verification flows
Check account verification links and codes arrive as expected.
EMAIL QA
Test the messages customers depend on.
A storefront can be healthy while the email journey around it is broken. Email QA is for the transactional messages that complete sign-up, recovery and other important customer actions.
DELIVERY IS PART OF THE JOURNEY
Check more than whether code called send().
Where a supported mailbox is connected, Shopsteddy can verify that an expected message arrives and keep delivery evidence separate from the application that sent it.
Password recovery
Test reset delivery and the journey that follows the email.
Invitations & notices
Monitor important transactional messages and expected account communications.
EVIDENCE, NOT ASSUMPTION
Treat the inbox as an external checkpoint.
Delivery checks can capture message identity, placement and authentication evidence without making the sending application declare its own success.
Mailbox credentials and tokens are handled as protected integration data. They should not appear in screenshots, workflow JSON or ordinary QA evidence.
