Quishing Campaign Manager

A quishing campaign can be launched to target users in two ways. The Fast Launch option allows you to initiate a quishing campaign quickly and easily, without having to designate any settings. However, if you prefer customization, advanced features are available to refine the campaign using the Campaign Manager option, such as Schedule, Multiple Target Groups, SMTP Delay, Expire Date, Multiple Scenarios, and Randomize to allow you to modify a variety of elements to suit your needs.
