Importing users into your PhishGrid platform via a XLSX file is an efficient way to add multiple targets to your phishing campaign with a single action.
Before You Begin
Ensure you have your XLSX file ready with the necessary details of the users you want to import. The required format can be found in the ‘targets.xlsx’ file. The standard format usually includes columns for first name, last name, email, job title, and contact number.
Available user information fields:
| CSV File Field | Description | Formatting Requirements |
| Email (Required) | The user’s work email address. Must match an allowed domain. | Standard email format (e.g., [email protected]). Avoid personal email domains like yahoo.com or gmail.com. |
| First Name (Required) | The user’s given name. | Standard text. Ensure proper capitalization for consistency. |
| Last Name (Required) | The user’s family name or surname. | Standard text. Ensure proper capitalization for consistency. |
| Job Title | The user’s official position within the organization. | Standard text. Titles should be consistent with organizational roles. |
| Contact Number | An alternate or additional contact number. | It should be a valid contact number |
| Group | Assigns the user to a pre-existing group. | Group name must be an exact match to the existing group in PhishGrid. |
Required Fields in XLSX File:
The XLSX file must include the following mandatory fields for each user:
First Name: The user’s first name.
Last Name: The user’s last name.
Email: A valid work email address. This is the most critical piece of information as it is the primary method of contact for phishing simulations.
