Question 1

Getting Started: How to set up AutoPhish for your Company

Accepted Answer

After you have created an AutoPhish user account, the dashboard guides you through a series of onboarding steps. This tutorial shows how to complete the first two steps --- Set Up Your Company and Verify Your Domain --- and explains what happens if you use a public email provider such as Gmail.

Log in and open the company setup wizard

Visit https://autophish.io/login and sign in with your AutoPhish credentials. After a successful login you will land on the Dashboard where a checklist highlights the onboarding steps. At this point, usually only step 1 is active.
Click Go to Company Setup. AutoPhish will open a form where you can enter your organisation's details.

Enter company details and complete setup

On the Company Setup page you need to provide basic information about your organisation:

Company name and address -- Use your organisation's legal name and physical address.
Company website and CEO name -- These help AutoPhish personalise phishing simulations.
Email address for domain verification -- This must be an email address on your company's own domain (e.g. admin@yourcompany.com). AutoPhish will send a verification link to this address. Public providers such as gmail.com, yahoo.com and outlook.com cannot be verified; if you use one of these domains the setup will display an error and you will need to provide a company address instead.

Question 4

Quotas, Scheduling and Randomized Send ("Sprinkle")

Accepted Answer

Monthly quotas

Each plan includes a monthly email allowance that caps how many emails you can send within a billing cycle (see https://autophish.io/pricing for details). AutoPhish will block sending once you exceed your remaining quota.

Scheduling

When configuring a campaign, choose an interval (e.g., one‑time or recurring). Scheduled campaigns run automatically on their cadence until paused or the quota is reached.

Randomized delivery ("sprinkle")

To avoid everyone receiving the test at once, enable randomized/sprinkled delivery (if available on your plan). This spreads emails over a time window so results better reflect real‑world conditions.

Tips

Start with monthly tests, then adjust frequency as your program matures.
Space deliveries across over multiple workdays to minimize internal “heads‑up” chatter (sprinkle feature)
Watch your Dashboard to track sends within the billing period.
