Notes

The mail test function has the following specifications and limitations. Please keep these points in mind when using this function.

Emails that can be verified within a scenario

Emails that can be verified in a scenario are limited to those that have been received within 30 minutes.
If you try to open an email that is older than that, the message "Email not found" will be displayed.

Specifications for searching for emails to be verified

In the email test function, among the received emails that meet the following conditions, the email with the highest similarity in title will be opened and used as the target for verification.

• Received within 30 minutes
• Unopened
  *The same specification applies to replays.

If no email matching the conditions exists at the time of test execution, the system waits for up to 2 minutes. If the email is still not found, the message "Email not found" will be displayed.

If no email is received

If an email should have been sent to your fixed email address, but you cannot confirm receipt of the email, please check the following points

• Check for sending errors on the mail server.
• Check that the system under test is not equipped with a mechanism to prevent duplicate transmissions.
• Check that the system is not blocking the transmissions.

Mail that cannot be received by Autify

If you receive email in any of the following ways, you will not receive the email.

• Mailing list
• Forwarding

If none of the above apply, please contact support.
