Sharing emails

Overview

Section titled “Overview”

Sharing is what makes MailSandbox an email review layer, not just a catcher. Any captured message can be turned into a secure test URL that clients and stakeholders open in their browser — no MailSandbox account required — so they can review an email before it ships.

Section titled “Creating a share link”
  1. Open the message you want to share
  2. Click the “Share” button
  3. Optionally set an expiry and a password
  4. Generate the link and copy it to your client

Recipients see a clean, rendered version of the email — the same HTML preview you see — without any of the MailSandbox interface around it. You can create several links for the same message and revoke any of them at any time.

Each link tracks how many times it has been opened and when it was last viewed, so you know a review actually happened. This is aggregate view tracking, not a log of individual visitors.

Passwords & expiry

Section titled “Passwords & expiry”

Because a share link is public by design, MailSandbox gives you two ways to keep it controlled:

  • Expiry — every link expires on a date and time you choose (a week from now by default). After that it stops working.
  • Password — optionally protect a link with a password (at least four characters). Recipients must enter it before the email is shown.
