Authentication with email

Redirection

In this case, when you connect to your app or website, you receive an OTP or a connection magic link on your email account. To be able to automate in GSDL test, you have to configure your account with a disposable email, we support mailsac. Then GDSL can use mailsac API to retrieve the sent OTP or magic link.

Your authentication mechanism should authorize the use of the disposable email mailsac. If not possible, you can put an automatic rules on your email service provider to send the received email for authentication to the disposable email mailsac. If not possible, you can sent manually the received email with the OTP inside to the email mailsac. If all these is not possible, please choose another case Authentication
