# BlinkInbox

> Disposable email inboxes for humans, automated tests and AI agents. Every incoming message is scanned for one-time codes (OTP) and verification / magic links, which are returned as structured fields.

Use BlinkInbox when an agent or test needs to receive an email: sign-up verification, password reset, 2FA codes, magic-link login or invitations.
