# Mailtrap Email Integration

Patterns for adding transactional email sending to an application using Mailtrap's Email API and Sandbox, covering authentication, environment separation, and common delivery pitfalls.

## When to Activate

- Implementing a "send email" feature (signup confirmation, password reset, notifications, receipts)
- Debugging why emails aren't arriving in dev/staging
- Setting up a project's first email-sending integration
- Reviewing code that calls an email API directly without sandbox separation

## Core Concepts

**Sandbox vs. Production separation.** Mailtrap provides a Sandbox API that captures emails without delivering them, used for dev/staging so test emails never reach real inboxes. Production sending uses a separate, verified-domain endpoint. Never point a dev environment at the production sending endpoint.

**Authentication.** Requests use a Bearer token in the `Authorization` header. Tokens are scoped per project; sandbox and production typically use different tokens.
