Template Variables

 

Variable Description Subject Email Body

http://phish.io (or any URL) in a hyperlink All URLs used in hyperlinks (i.e., in an “<a href=’...’>” clause) will automatically be replaced by a “phish.io” link that allows the system to track your learners’ clicks and present them with a specific landing pages.

{{footer}} Provides a block of text that explains that this email is not spam, that it is a service of our system and that you specifically requested the test.

This block of text looks similar to other legal “boilerplate” often appended to email messages by corporate email servers and usually ignored by end users.
