Text add-ons

When a message receives a specific disposition from Email Security (formerly Area 1), you can add additional information to the subject and body of each message.

This information provides additional context to your employees, which can help them make better decisions if you choose to have a more permissive email policy:

• Subject prefixes: Can tell recipients which category the message is in. Subject prefixes always state the final disposition of the message.
• Body prefixes: Provide more context about why the message was added to a specific category. Body prefixes include all the detections that were triggered. This information depends on the prefixes you enable.

For example, an email might have the dispositions EXTERNAL MALICIOUS in the subject, and EXTERNAL MALICIOUS SUSPICIOUS UCE in its body.

Note

Text add-ons are only applicable to customers using an inline setup.

Update text add-ons

To update or add a new add-on to the subject or body of a message:

2. Go to Settings (the gear icon).

3. On Email Configuration, go to Email Policies > Text Add-Ons.

5. For each Disposition, choose whether prefixes are Enabled and whether you want to update the Custom Label.

6. If desired, you can also use Subject Prefix or Body Prefix to update the text added before or after the rendered disposition:

   • Subject Prefix: Includes a dynamic value for %LABELS that lists the disposition and can include additional text.
   • Body Prefix: Includes a dynamic value for %LABELS that lists the disposition and %REASONS that lists the reasons behind an assigned disposition. Can include additional, HTML-formatted text.
