Users & Groups

Gophish manages recipients for campaigns in groups. Each group can contain one or more recipients. Groups have the following format:

{
    id              : int64
    name            : string
    targets         : array(Target)
    modified_date   : string(datetime)
}

Each recipient in the targets field has the following format:

{
    email           : string
    first_name      : string
    last_name       : string
    position        : string
}
