What is DropMail?
DropMail is a GraphQL API that lets clients programmatically create and manage short-lived email inboxes and their incoming messages.
It is useful for developers performing automated testing, sign-up verification, or any workflow that needs disposable email addresses without persistent accounts.
What you can build with DropMail
Email verification testing
Developers create temporary inboxes to automatically receive and parse signup confirmation links during app testing without polluting real mailboxes.
Disposable address automation
Scripts generate one-time email addresses on demand to sign up for services while avoiding spam and tracking.
Message monitoring workflows
Applications poll the GraphQL endpoint to watch for incoming emails matching specific subjects or senders in real time.
