Direct Message Injection (DMI) Setup Guide for Google Workspace

Cet article n'est actuellement disponible qu'en anglais.

The Direct Message Injection (DMI) feature (currently in Beta) allows phishing simulation emails to bypass traditional email filtering, delivering them directly to user inboxes without the need for whitelisting. This is achieved by creating a secure connection between your SoSafe account and your Google Workspace account.

Setting up DMI in Google Workspace

Step 1: Prerequisites

  • Required Admin role: Ensure you have a Google Workspace account with a super admin role to set up DMI. Refer to Google’s Control API access with domain-wide delegation for more details.

  • Limitations: The DMI connection does not support sending messages to alias email addresses.

Step 2: Authorize DMI in Google Workspace

  2. Navigate to Security:

    1. Go to Security (or More Controls at the bottom if you don’t see it).

  3. Access API controls:

    1. In security, click Overview, then select API Controls.

  4. Enable domain wide delegation:
