How to Audit Email Links Before Forwarding with ChatGPT
Audit Email Links Before Forwarding with ChatGPT and ToolRouter. Check embedded links in emails and produce a clean forwarding advisory.
Tool
Use ChatGPT with Phishing Email Checker to check email links and produce a forwarding decision with a brief explanation you can include in the forwarded message. ChatGPT formats the finding into a clear pass or fail verdict plus a short context note so the recipient understands the check was done.

Steps
Once connected (see setup above), use the Phishing Email Checker tool:
- Paste the email content into ChatGPT.
- Ask ChatGPT to run `check_email` via `phishing-email-checker` on the embedded links.
- Ask for a forwarding decision — safe, forward with modifications, or do not forward — with a one-line explanation.
- Include the one-line context note in the forwarded message so the recipient knows the email was reviewed.
Example Prompt
Try this with ChatGPT using the Phishing Email Checker tool
Use phishing-email-checker to check this email's links before I forward it: [paste email]. Give me a forwarding decision (safe/modify/do not forward) with a one-line explanation I can include in my forward note to the team.
Tips
- Include a note in your forward message that you checked the links — it builds trust with the recipients.
- Ask for a 'forward with modifications' option if only one link is problematic — you can remove it and still share the content.
- Check recurring newsletters from the same sender periodically, not just on first receipt.
