Reminders

LUCY allows administrators to configure reminders within a campaign to ensure recipients engage with the content. This feature is particularly useful for reminding users who have not interacted with the campaign as expected.

Starting in Lucy version 5.1, campaign reminder settings are included in campaign templates.

Configuration

Reminder emails can be sent once or repetetively. You can configure a custom reminder message (ideal for attacks) or simply resend the original email (ideal for awareness).

Single Message

Select this option to send one reminder email N days after the original email.

Repetetive Message

Select this option to send a reminder email every N days after the original email.

Use Scenario or Awareness Email

Select this option to resend the original template email, rather than a custom reminder message.

If you are using a custom reminder email, select Edit Template to customize it.

Awareness Reminders

Navitgate to Awareness Education > Reminders

Remind Users Who Did Not Start a Training

Enable this option to send a reminder to users who did not start the training after receiving the awareness email. Lucy will send a reminder to anyone who did not click the training link.

Remind Users Who Did Not Finish a Training

Enable this option to send a reminder to users who started but did not finish the training. Lucy will send a reminder to anyone who is not trained in the statistics.

Attack Simulation Reminders

Navigate to Attack Simulation > Reminders

Remind Users Who Did Not Click a Phishing Scenario Link

Enable this option to send a reminder to users who did not click on the link in the phishing email.

Reminder Email Variables

You may use the following variables in the template:

• %sender% — Sender name of the phishing email.

• %sender-email% — Email address of the phishing email.

• %time(FORMAT, OFFSET, ZONE)% — Time-based variables.

  • FORMAT: Date/time format.

  • OFFSET: Date/time offset in minutes, can be negative (e.g., "-60" means 60 minutes prior to email submission time, "20160" means 20160 minutes = 14 days).
