How do I create a phishing simulation template?

There are two ways for creating templates, in other words emails and websites for the assessment. 

1. Create your own custom template.
2. Import a template from the template library. Please notice that these templates can be modified in any way you want.

Template types

There are two types of templates: 

• Email template
  For assessments that only consists of an email (and no website).
• Email and website template
  For assessments  that consists of an email with link to a website with a form and a response page. The user is redirected to the response page after posting the form on the website.

Placeholders
You can use placeholders in templates. These strings are replaced with the described data.

• {email address}: email address from recipient list
• {name}: name from recipient list
• {organisation name}: the name of the organization
• {url}: URL to the website
• {domain}: URL to phishing domain
• {current year}: Current year

Example
This is an example how the email address placeholder work. 

HTML code:
You email address {email address} needs to be verified.

Email:
Your email address james.smith@yourbusiness.com need to be verified.

Images in custom templates
If you want to use custom images in you custom template this can be done in two ways:

1. Send the images to our support email and we will publish them and get back to you with the URL to use in your template.
2. Upload images in your own web server. We recommend that you setup a separate domain, like content.yourbusiness.com, for this purpose.

We recommend that the URL, including the file name, doesn't reflect your organization name.
