Test Onboarding Email Sequences
Welcome emails, activation links, drip campaigns—ensure your onboarding flow converts from day one.
Onboarding emails are hard to test
- Multi-step sequences require waiting for triggers
- Personalization logic may have edge cases
- Activation links must work across environments
- A/B test variants need separate validation
Automated onboarding verification
- Create test users with unique plop addresses
- Trigger each step of the onboarding sequence
- Validate email content and timing
- Test activation links actually work
Example
Testing Welcome Email Sequencetypescript
test('new user receives welcome sequence', async () => {
const userEmail = `onboard+${Date.now()}@in.plop.email`;
// Create user and trigger welcome email
await createUser({ email: userEmail, name: 'Test User' });
// Verify welcome email
const welcome = await plop.messages.waitFor({
to: userEmail,
subject: /welcome/i,
timeout: 5000,
});
expect(welcome.htmlContent).toContain('Test User');
expect(welcome.htmlContent).toContain('Get Started');
// Verify activation link
const activationLink = extractLink(welcome.htmlContent, 'activate');
const activateResponse = await fetch(activationLink);
expect(activateResponse.ok).toBe(true);
