View attachments

Attachments created in your account will be displayed in the Manage Attachments table.

Click the "Create Attachment" button to display the create attachment popup. Click the "Edit" button to display the edit attachment popup.

Create an attachment

Give the attachment a name, filename, select a locale, and give the selected localization an HTML body.

The "Library visible" switch, if enabled, will allow the attachment to be selected as an attachment for any phishing email template.

The "Download Preview" dropdown button allows to download a preview of the HTML file or PDF file that would be attached to a phishing email that leverages the attachment.

Click the "Save" button to save the template.

Edit an attachment

The edit attachment popup is similar to the create attachment popup, but there are several localization-related controls that will be enabled.

The "Default Locale" switch allows you to specify which attachment localization will be the default.

Click the button to delete a localization. The default localization CANNOT be deleted.

Click the  button to create a new localization.

Click the  button to translate the default localization into different languages (if enabled for your account).

Localizations

Localizations give attachments the ability to render in different languages based on the target's preferred language. Each attachment has a default localization that will be used if the target does not have a preferred language set, or the attachment does not have a localization in the target's preferred language.

Attachment localizations behave similarly to phishing email localizations.

File types

When attaching a file to a phishing email template, the attachment can be sent as a PDF or an HTML file.

At the time of send, the attachment's HTML will be formatted into a PDF if the user selected to send the attachment as a PDF. PDFs will ALWAYS be formatted.

Hook URL

All anchor (<a>) tags in the attachment's HTML will have their href attribute's value set to "{hook_url}" when generated. The "{hook_url}" will be swapped out with a URL that is unique for the target of the phishing email. The URL, when clicked/loaded, will log an "Opened Attachment" action for the target.

Add attachment to phishing email

To add an attachment to a phishing email, navigate to the template editor for the preferred phishing email. Under the template's "Tracking Settings" section, enable the "Track an Attachment" option.

If the attachment is library visible, it will appear in the "Select attachment" select menu. Select an attachment and specify the preferred file type. After saving, any phishing emails sent that use the template will include the selected attachment.
