Create and Launch a Campaign

Step‑by‑step guide to set up, review, and send your first phishing simulation.

This guide walks you through creating and launching a phishing simulation via the campaign wizard.

Heads‑up: When you click Save and Start Campaign, AutoPhish sends emails immediately to your targets. Double‑check recipients and obtain approvals first.

1) Start a new campaign

Sign in and go to your Dashboard.
Click ➕ New Campaign in the header.

2) Tone & Style

Enter a Campaign Name.
Choose a Tone (from professional to friendly).
Pick a Test Interval (e.g., one‑time, monthly).
Add Target Email Addresses (comma or newline separated). Use test addresses first.

Click Next.

3) Select a Scenario

Expand a category (e.g., Social Engineering, IT Support, HR).
Select one or more scenarios to include. Base this on the audience, or use the defaults selected by AutoPhish.
Click Next.

4) Generate the Email

AutoPhish generates a tailored phishing email (From, Subject, Body).
Review the preview. If needed, click Generate New Email for another variation.

In certain cases, when AutoPhish hits a spam filter, it will not use the E-Mail presented in the preview, but create a new ones.

Click Next.

5) Review & Launch

Review the summary: name, tone, interval, language, targets, and email content.
Optional: View Targets and View Email for a final check.
Choose Save Campaign to keep a draft without sending, or Save and Start Campaign to launch now.

Validation & common blocks

At least one target is required.
Verified sending domain required before sending (see Verify a Sending Domain).
Campaigns respect your monthly allowance; you can’t send beyond your plan’s limit.
