Training campaign
In BullPhish ID, you can create training campaigns to effectively deliver security awareness training to your employees. There are three sections you complete when creating a training campaign:
- Details: The information you provide in this section includes the name of the campaign, the organization for which the campaign is being created, the rate at which the training emails will be sent, and the date and time the campaign will start.
The Select Template drop-down list enables you to select an existing training template to auto-populate the sections of the form with the values provided by the template. You can edit the auto-populated values as desired.
For more information about training templates, see Reusable campaign templates. - My Groups: In this section, you select the organization's groups that you want to include in the campaign.
- My Courses: Here, you select the training courses you want to include in the campaign.

Editing a multi-course campaign
A campaign entry is created on the Training & Awareness Dashboard for each course in a multi-course campaign.
The editing options available for a campaign that is part of a multi-course campaign depend on the selected Schedule Frequency.
Edits made to a campaign whose Scheduled Frequency is Weekly, Bi-Weekly, Monthly, or Quarterly apply only to the edited campaign.
Campaigns whose Scheduled Frequency is Once are linked into a single logical set. When you make edits to one of the campaigns and save, a confirmation message is displayed. You can choose to:
- Update This Campaign: This applies changes only to the current campaign and unlinks it from the set. The training invitation is sent only for this campaign.
- Update All Linked Campaigns: This applies changes to all linked campaigns while keeping them linked. One training invitation is sent listing the courses for each campaign.
EXAMPLE You update the Sending Profile for a scheduled, linked campaign and click Save. The confirmation modal appears. If you click Update This Campaign, it unlinks and uses the new profile only for this campaign. If you choose Update All Linked Campaigns, all linked campaigns keep their association and adopt the new Sending Profile.
Course replacement rules
The following rules apply when replacing a training course:
- In the Courses list, courses already linked to other campaigns in the same logical set are unavailable. They appear grayed out with the tooltip: "The course is already linked to another campaign in this group."
- Only replacing a course is allowed. Multiple courses cannot be added to a single campaign row.

- If you choose to update all campaigns and you changed the course, the course change applies only to the current campaign and will not be applied to linked campaigns.
