"Reporting was successful" but nothing happens
This can happen when you report a Hoxhunt phishing simulation but your browser's pop-up blocker prevents the results window from opening. Please check your browser's built-in pop-up blocker settings. If you are using a third-party pop-up blocker, check its settings too.
Invalid credentials
This error is known to occur with customers who have Context-Aware Access (CAA) rules in place in their Google Workspace tenant. If your CAA rule included geolocation restrictions, Google API may be restricted to use communicate with Hoxhunt Workspace add-on's backend services (located in Belgium, Europe).
Please contact Hoxhunt Support for assistance on how to exempt Hoxhunt's backend services from your CAA rule.

Troubleshoot errors in Hoxhunt Private Gmail add-on
Spam and suspicious messages can't be used for recommended content or actions. Try searching for messages in your inbox.
This error occurs when Google has already categorized the email as spam or suspicious. You may also see an orange or red warning banner at the top of the email.
When the suspicious email is not one of Hoxhunt's training emails, please follow your company's guidelines how to report the email to your Security team.
If you spot the email to be one of Hoxhunt's training email, there's no way for you to report it to Hoxhunt. In case this happens, try the following:
- Make sure the email is not in your Spam folder when you are reporting it.
- Check the email's headers (source) and provide them to Hoxhunt Support (support@hoxhunt.com) along with a screenshot of the complete email view (including any banners and the error message).
- Avoid using Gmail's native Report phishing and Report spam options, as you may report a Hoxhunt training email by mistake.
NOTE: Despite our best efforts, Google may sometimes disregard bypass rules made for Hoxhunt training emails. In our experience, the results vary even between employees within the same company.
Hoxhunt Support can re-send the training email to you in hopes it will then be reportable.
