Deliverability QA in CI/CD with the WillItInbox API
How developers can turn deliverability testing and validation into repeatable checks around releases, templates, and imports.
APICI/CDDevelopers
What belongs in CI
- Syntax and validation checks for seed or fixture recipients.
- Template smoke tests that generate a real email and check for missing headers, auth failures, or broken content assumptions.
- Report fetching and artifact storage for release evidence.
What should not block every deploy
Do not fail every build on ambiguous reputation or placement signals. Fail on deterministic issues such as missing DKIM, broken DMARC alignment, invalid MIME, missing unsubscribe for bulk mail, or known bad links.

console.log('Send your template to:', test.email_address);
// After sending, poll client.getReport(test.token) until complete and inspect blockers.For product context, read the email validation API solution and the existing reading your WillItInbox report guide.
