Enable Skip Email Scanner Actions

The third-party scans can sometimes trigger the FortiPhish system to incorrectly register an email as clicked, even if the user has not interacted with it. To avoid this, you can set a delay (in seconds) during which email scanner activities such as opening email, clicking links, and opening attachments are skipped. This setting reduces the false positives caused by third-party applications that scan emails for malicious content.

During the delay, emails are labeled as Email Scanned at [timestamp] in the user timeline details in FortiPhish GUI. After the delay, normal email activity display resumes, allowing you to focus on genuine user behavior.

To enable skip email scanner actions:
  1. Navigate to Settings > Campaigns page.

  2. Enable the Enable Skip Email Scanner Actions toggle.

  3. Enter the delay time (in seconds).

  4. Click Submit.

  • The Enable Skip Email Scanner Actions setting is global and applies to all campaigns.

  • This feature is available only for FortiPhish Premium users. Contact Fortinet Support team to upgrade.
