Claro + Google Workspace
Give every Gmail user a one-click way to report suspicious email, and run realistic simulations without fighting Google's own filtering.
Overview
Claro provides a Chrome extension that adds a Report Phishing button inside Gmail, so employees can flag a suspicious message the moment they spot it. Every report is sent to Claro's phish-reporting workflow, where your security team matches it against active simulations or escalates it as a genuine threat. The result is a measurable reporting habit across your workforce, not just a training completion rate.
For simulations, Claro sends phishing emails directly to Google Workspace mailboxes. Because these messages are intentionally crafted to test filters and judgment, most organizations allowlist Claro's sending domain in Google Workspace so simulations reach the inbox rather than being blocked. Your Workspace admin sets this up once, and it applies to every future Claro campaign.
The extension is a Manifest V3 Chrome extension designed for central deployment through Chrome policy management, so IT can push it to the whole organization rather than relying on individual installs. That matters for consistency: every Gmail user sees the same report button in the same place, which keeps the reporting action simple even for employees who are not confident with security tooling. The behavior you want to build becomes the path of least resistance.
Because Claro handles both the simulation and the reporting side, it can automatically distinguish a reported simulation from a reported real email. Simulation reports feed into behavior and risk scoring, so the employees who catch your tests are recognized, while suspected real threats are routed to your security team for review. This turns Google Workspace into an active reporting channel and gives you a defensible reporting rate you can put in front of auditors and leadership.
How it works
Deploy the Chrome extension
Push the Claro extension to your organization's Chrome browsers so the Report Phishing button appears in every employee's Gmail toolbar, without relying on individual installs.
Allowlist the sending domain
Your Workspace admin adds Claro's sending domain to the allowlist so simulation emails are delivered to the inbox instead of Spam. This is configured once and reused.
Launch simulations to real mailboxes
Run Claro phishing campaigns that land in Google Workspace inboxes, testing both filtering and human judgment in conditions your employees genuinely face.
Reports reach your review queue
A click on Report Phishing sends the message to Claro's phish-reporting workflow, where it is matched against active simulations and tracked for your team to review.
Signals feed analytics and rewards
Confirmed simulation reports flow into risk scoring and gamification, so reporters earn recognition and you build a measurable, defensible reporting rate over time.
