- Clerk product changelog (changelog) ↗
Starting today, Clerk doesn't send any email to a test email address while Test mode is on. Emails that Clerk used to deliver are still recorded and trigger the email.created webhook, with delivered_by_clerk set to false.
- Clerk product changelog (changelog) ↗
If your test suite reads emails from an inbox, for example to follow a sign-in link or accept an invitation, send those emails to an address without +clerk_test. Emails to real addresses are delivered as before and count toward the development instance email limit.

Tests that sign in with the code 424242 don't need any changes.
