How to Create a Random Email Generator Using TextExpander

Are you tired of manually generating unique email addresses for your demo systems or testing purposes? Look no further! With TextExpander, you can create a random email generator that will save you time and effort. In this article, we'll show you how to create a snippet that uses JavaScript to generate a random email address.

First, open the TextExpander app and create a new Snippet. Since Bash scripting only works on macOS, we'll use JavaScript automations, which work on every platform supported by TextExpander. You can also use date-based emails, making them unique and easy to identify when you created it.

To create the random email generator snippet with JavaScript, follow these steps:

1. Paste the following code as the body of your snippet:

2. Open the TextExpander app and create a new snippet.

So, we'll make a 'snippet' to help us make new email addresses very quickly. By writing a snippet that makes use of the bash variable RANDOM, we can generate an email address that will be random enough for our purposes.

There are a few ways we can generate something random. We can use TextExpander to add a custom + to your email address. Generating unique email addresses by hand doesn't scale. You can use one real account to generate lots of unique emails for our demo systems.

For example, if your main account was 'yourmainemail@gmail.com'(mailto:yourmainemail@gmail.com), you can create append +tag before the @ symbol, and all valid email addresses that will all go into the same inbox. This way, you don't have to worry about managing thousands of easy-to-manage email addresses.

Using a real email address bypasses these issues. You don't have to look through logs when you need to follow a link in an email, for example password resets. You also don't get to see if the email actually shows in an email client. Using fake email addresses hides issues when your development environment sends the email out.

This constraint leaves demo systems full of email addresses like 'user1@example.com'(mailto:user1@example.com), 'user2@example.com'(mailto:user2@example.com), and so on. Most online accounts require a unique email address. When building an app, you often need to run through parts of the system manually to check how functionality works or checking a bug report.

In conclusion, creating a random email generator using TextExpander is a great way to generate test email addresses. With this snippet, you'll be able to create unique email addresses quickly and easily, saving you time and effort in the long run. Give it a try today!
