What the Outbox is
While you build, your app doesn't send real emails or text messages: you don't want test sign-ups emailing real people. Everything it sends lands in Piye's Outbox instead: sign-in links and codes, receipts, welcome emails, reminders, and the codes of phone verification.
Open it
Press the Outbox button in Visual. Each email shows as your customer would see it, with its subject, sender and design. Text messages show with their code.
- Use it to finish a sign-up: copy the code from the email and type it in the preview.
- Use it to check your emails' words and look before anyone receives them.
- Clear the Outbox to start fresh.
When your app is live
Your published app sends real emails through your email service and real texts through Twilio. See Email and Phone verification.
