Shared OTP email for teams
A shared OTP email inbox is a workspace-owned address used as the email on an account, so the one-time codes that account sends reach the whole team rather than one person.

Who this is for

2QA testers who each need the OTP for the same test user
3Engineers testing 2FA-by-email flows
In short
Register the test or team account to an Inflovy inbox. When the OTP email arrives, the code is detected and shown as a copy chip to every workspace member, and the Chrome extension can paste it into the login form. No forwarding, no screenshots in Slack.
The common problem
OTP codes get pasted into Slack, screenshots and DMs, and expire while someone looks for them.
The one person whose email is on the account becomes a bottleneck.
Rotating that person means changing the account’s email.
How Inflovy helps
The account’s email is a workspace inbox; every member sees the code in seconds.
Right-click → Paste Inflovy code from the Chrome extension fills the field.
The OTP history stays with the project, useful when a flow misbehaves.
Forwarding codes versus a shared OTP inbox.
| Need | Forwarding / Slack | Inflovy |
|---|---|---|
| Time to code | Minutes, if the owner is around. | Seconds, for anyone in the workspace. |
| Where the code ends up | Slack history, screenshots, DMs. | The inbox, with expiry shown. |
| Bus factor | One person. | The whole team. |
Questions people ask before switching.
Short answers. Inflovy is a receive-only test inbox for developers and QA teams; it does not replace your mailbox or send anything.
Does Inflovy handle SMS OTPs?
No. Inflovy is email-only. If your flow sends codes by SMS, you need a phone-number provider; Mailosaur and Mailinator sell SMS numbers as paid add-ons.
How does the code get detected?
A heuristic looks for 4–8 digit codes (spaces and dashes allowed) near words like “code”, “verify” or “OTP”, preferring the subject line. The same logic runs in the API, the dashboard and the extension.
