# Landing Pages

Create and manage the landing pages users see after clicking a simulated phishing link, including credential-capture tracking.

## Overview

A **landing page** is what a user sees after clicking the link in a simulated phishing email or text. A convincing landing page is where the real lesson happens: it can present a fake login form that records whether the user went on to **enter credentials**, the strongest signal that they would have been compromised by a real attack.

Landing pages live on the **Pages** tab of the email simulations card. The same pages are reusable across email and SMS campaigns.

## Managing landing pages

The **Pages** tab lists every landing page available to you, one row per page:

* **Page**: a thumbnail, the page name, and its description.
* **Captures**: a **Captures credentials** pill when the page's form submits to Herd's credential-capture endpoint.
* **Source**: **Herd** for pages maintained by Herd, **Custom** for your organization's own pages, or **Generated** for pages Herd created automatically.
* **Used in**: how many templates and campaigns point at the page, or **Not used yet**.
* **Created** and **Updated** dates. Click **Page**, **Created**, or **Updated** to sort.

Use the source selector (**Any source**, **Herd**, **Custom**, **Generated**), the search box, and the **All** / **Captures credentials** / **Generated** chips to narrow the list. Click a row to open the page.

* **Herd pages** are shared across all organizations. They can't be edited or deleted; click **Clone** to create an editable copy for your organization.
* **Custom pages** are fully yours to edit, preview, and delete.

## Creating and editing a page

While you are on the **Pages** tab, click **New page** in the section header. A landing page is an HTML document: you edit the markup directly and switch to **Preview** to see exactly how it will render.

To track credential entry, include the `{{credential_capture_url}}` variable as your login form's target. The editor shows a **Credential Capture Tracking** indicator telling you whether the token is present. When it is, any submission on the page is recorded as **Submitted credentials** in [campaign results](/herd-security-docs/simulations/phishing-simulations/campaign-results.md). Herd never stores what was typed, only that a submission happened.

{% hint style="info" %}
Some browser-isolation products (used by certain email security gateways) block form submissions inside the isolated browser, which would prevent credential entry from being recorded. If your organization uses one, contact Herd support: credential capture can be switched to a link-based mode for your organization that works inside isolated browsers.
{% endhint %}

## Attaching a landing page

You attach a landing page when building an [email template](/herd-security-docs/simulations/phishing-simulations/creating-email-templates.md) or SMS template; the template's link (and QR code, if used) points at the page. The page's detail view shows which templates and campaigns currently use it, so you can see the impact of an edit before saving. A campaign's **Templates** tab also lets you preview the landing page attached to each template in the pool.
