Using the Advanced Campaign Planner

The Advanced Campaign Planner allows you to create multiple plans within one campaign. The benefit of this is that you could select different templates to be sent to different groups or you can set different days/times for the templates to be sent.

1. Navigate To Phishing

Before you can start using the advanced campaign planner, you will need to Navigate to phishing

Note: Before creating a phishing campaign, please make sure you have verified your target domain. If you have not set up your target domain; take a look at our guide Adding A Target Domain.

7. Using the Advanced Campaign Planner

Once you have clicked the 'Advance planner' link you will be presented with a view of all plans associated with this campaign. From this page you can add, delete and edit these plans.

Each plan defines a selection of templates, which will be sent to the specified user groups at the specified time. Initially there will be a single, unfinished plan. The campaign cannot be launched until all plans are in a finished state.

The initial plan that you will be presented with, will need to be put together just as you would with a singular campaign. If you have not put a campaign together before using our Phishing Wizard, take a look at our guide Creating A Phishing Campaign.

After you click the review and launch button you will be presented with your final plans along with a check for unactivated users (if any) and a check to ensure the templates have been whitelisted.
