Template Attachments

A template can have an attached PDF, HTML, or ICS file that will get sent with the phishing email template. The templates are localized and can be found in the template library. Links in the attached file will be hook links that can take the target to a landing or training page. These attachment opens count towards the Data Extended metric.

Getting An Attachment Template

To get a PDF attachment for template, navigate to the Template Library. On the left hand side, there will be a filter in the Phishing Experience section of the filter menu. Clicking this filter will show all the templates available with an attachment.

Templates with an attachment will show a "Preview Attachment" Icon. Clicking the icon will display the attachment in a pop up window. Clicking the "Get" button will add the template to your account.

Using An Attachment 

To add an attachment to a template, navigate to the Manage Templates page. Then, click the "Edit" button on the desired Phishing template, which will load the Phishing Template Editor. On the right hand menu, there will be a dropdown for "Tracking Settings":

To enable attachment tracking, turn on the "Track an Attachment" option. This will present you with two dropdowns. The first is a menu of premade attachments that can be added to the template. The second is the file type for the attachment, which can a PDF, HTML, or ICS attachment. 

Once an attachment and file type is selected, click "Save" in the top right of the editor. 

 

Attachment Tracking 

Attachments are tracked by using hook links. All links that are in attachments will be a hook link. When a target clicks one of the links, we will track an "Opened Attachment" action. This action will be classified with the failure type of "Data Extended". In order for a action to be recorded, a link must be clicked in the attachment. Due to technical limitations, downloading the attachment will not generate an action on its own.
