What is a Webhook Response?

If a webhook url is set on a campaign or on the Account Settings page and a target completes an action during a test, the PhishingBox server will post JSON to the webhook url containing information about both the target and the test.

Example JSON:

{
"member":
{
"first_name": "John",
"last_name": "Smith",
"email": "jsmith@yourdomain.com",
"group": "Accounting Department Group"
},
"test":
{
"name": "Accounting Test 1",
"sent_date": "2018-01-01 14:00:00",
"template": "Goals for Q1 2019 (Generic) - Attachment",
"action": "Viewed Landing Page",
"ip_address": "10:0:0:55",
"browser": "Mozilla Firefox",
"platform": "Windows",
"action_date": "2018-01-04 07:34:00",
"is_fail": "false",
"filtered": "false"
}
}

"Action" Property

The value of the "action" property on the "test" object varies from template to template, and can be user-defined. The list below defines some of the common action values returned by the web hook.

  • Note: This is not a complete list, actions can be customized and are determined by the template being used for testing.

The value of the action property will always be a string (the value will be in double quotes). 

Primary Actions
The following actions are the most common actions that will be reported by our templates.

  • opened: The email was opened.
  • page-load: The link in the email was clicked and the landing page was loaded.
  • Viewed Landing Page: The landing page was refreshed or navigated to by means other than a click from the phishing email.
  • Viewed Training Page: The target viewed the training page but did not complete the training materials.
  • Completed Training Page Material: The button on the training page was clicked to acknowledge that it was read.
  • replied: The target sent a reply to the email.
  • reported: The target reported the email as phishing.
  • auto-reply: The system caught an auto reply to the email.
  • Performed Action: A generic action for anything done on the landing page.

 

Custom Actions
The following actions describe more specific actions that are determined by the template being used in the test and can be customized by the user. Any of these actions are done on the landing page and therefore should be considered a failure.

  • "Clicked Completion" depending on the template, clicked completion means that the target has entered information or clicked a link.
  • "Clicked Link" means that the primary Hook Link was clicked in the phishing email and the user was taken to the landing page. This action, along with Viewed Landing Page, makes up reported Clicks.
