How do you guys write end to end test which will trigger a mailer endpoint?
Depends on the infrastructre setup, but if you're able to specify smtp server the backend will use you can you something like https://github.com/mailhog/MailHog or https://github.com/rnwood/smtp4dev to catch any sent email, regardless of email address and read it via the respective api. Both mailhog and smtp4dev have decent api documentation. Source: about 1 year ago
