Integrating Robonito with Email (IMAP)

Learn how to set up Email integration and automate OTP retrieval for your test cases.

Understanding Email Integration

Integrating Robonito with your email account via IMAP lets Robonito read incoming emails. This is super handy for automating test cases that need One-Time Passwords (OTPs) or other info sent by email. Robonito can grab the necessary data and use it in your tests.

Setting Up Email Integration

To connect Robonito with your email, you'll need to give it the right IMAP details and credentials.

Steps:

  1. Go to Integrations: In your Robonito dashboard, click "Integrations" in the sidebar.

  2. Select Email: Find the Email option and hit the Connect button to start.

  3. Enter Connection Details: A form will pop up. You'll need to enter this info:

    • Email Address: The email Robonito will connect to.
    • Password: Your email account's password.
    • IMAP Server: Your email provider's IMAP server address (e.g., mail.sofyrus.com).
    • IMAP Port: The IMAP server's port number (usually 993 for secure connections).

  4. Connect: After filling everything in, click Connect, a notification will appear indicating success or failure.

  5. Confirm Integration: On the Integrations page, the Email integration status will automatically show as Connected for your workspace.

Reading OTPs from Mail

Once your Email integration is set up, you can easily fetch OTPs directly from emails during your test case execution.

Steps:

  1. Select a Test Case to Record: Choose the test case where you need to read an OTP. Start recording your test.

  2. Navigate to OTP Page: During your test recording, navigate to the page that requires the OTP.

  3. Click "Fetch OTP" in the Toolbar: Once you are on a page that requires OTP, click the "Fetch OTP" button on the Robonito toolbar.

  4. Select "Email" in the Dialog Box: A dialog box will appear. From the available options, select "Email" as your OTP source.

  5. Enter OTP Mail Subject: In the provided field, enter the exact subject line of the email containing the OTP. This helps Robonito locate the correct email.

  6. OTP Detection and Filling: Robonito will automatically detect the OTP field on the current page and populate it with the fetched OTP from the email.
