How to use random email addresses in shared group steps

Prev Next

The email testing feature is only available in Remote Workspaces. For more details on the email testing feature, please refer to this document.

If you use a Random email address within a Shared Group Step, a problem occurs where the random email address settings are not carried over when you try to use that Shared Group Step in another Scenario.

This is because Random email addresses are implemented as scenario-specific data and are not retained within the Shared Group Step. Therefore, if you want to use a Random email address in a Shared Group Step, please consider the method of passing the random email address using a parameter. The implementation method is as follows:

Implementation Method

Step 1: Set a parameter in the target Shared Group Step

  1. Open the details screen (edit screen) of the target Shared Group Step.

  2. Click the New parameter button in the Parameters section of the screen.

  3. Enter a parameter name (e.g., Email Address). *The default value can be left blank.

  4. In the steps within the Shared Group Step, change the argument type of the step that uses the email address to the Shared group parameter.

  5. Select the created parameter.

  6. Save the changes.

Step 2: Create a random email address in the Scenario

  1. Open the Scenario where you want to use the Shared Group Step.

  2. Start recording.

  3. Click the Email button on the Recording toolbar.

  4. Select the Random email address tab.

  5. Click Create new random email address.

  6. Enter a name and save.

Step 3: Pass the random email address as a parameter

  1. Open the details screen (edit screen) of the target Shared Group Step within the Scenario.

  2. Change the argument type of the parameter value created in Step 1 to Random email.

  3. Select the Random email address created in Step 2.

  4. Save the changes.

Step 4: Configuration for each Scenario

Repeat Step 2 and Step 3 for each Scenario that uses the Shared Group Step. This allows each Scenario to have its own Random email address and pass it to the Shared Group Step.

Points to Note

Difference from Fixed email addresses: When using a Fixed email address, it is shared across the entire workspace. Therefore, the parameter settings described above are not required, and you can directly specify and use them within the Shared Group Step.
