Create and launch campaigns

Open Campaigns and select New campaign. Every campaign type uses the same 6-step wizard.

Open Campaigns and select New campaign. Every campaign type uses the same 6-step wizard.

Configure the campaign

Set a campaign type (Email, or Messaging on the Pro and Enterprise plans), a recipient action (Tracked link, QR code, or Attachment), a template, a landing page, a sender identity, the target recipients, and a send mode. See Use the campaign wizard for each step in detail.

On the Pro and Enterprise plans, the landing-page step can also serve the page from a domain you own instead of a Phishtime host. That needs a DNS record on the domain on top of ownership verification. See Custom landing domains. The wizard warns you if the domain you pick is not pointing to Phishtime yet.

Review before launch

On the Review & create step, check the recipients (all users or specific groups), the sending identity, the template and landing page, and the send mode. Give the campaign a name and save. It is created as a Draft.

Launch

Open the campaign from Campaigns and click Launch. You confirm once. The campaign then sends according to its send mode (all at once, spread over a window, or drip), and its counters start updating on the campaign page and the Dashboard.

Managing a running campaign

From the campaign page you can:

• Finish campaign: stop it and keep all recorded results.
• Cancel: stop it before or during sending.
• Switch between the Overview, Sending template, Landing page, Event log, and Queue tabs to see exactly what was sent and what happened.

See Review campaign results for how to read the numbers.
