Form Settings — Spam Protection

Spam protection helps reduce unwanted submissions from bots and fake traffic.

Depending on your setup, you may see options such as Honeypot, built-in Turnstile, or custom CAPTCHA providers.

Open Spam Protection Setting

1. Open Forms.
2. Choose your plan.
3. Click 🛠️ Form Settings.
4. Locate the Spam Protection section.

Honeypot

Honeypot is a simple anti-spam option that helps block many automated bot submissions.

It is lightweight, easy to use, and does not usually affect real visitors.

Honeypot is available on all plans.

To use it, the setting must be enabled in the form settings.

Honeypot Example

Turnstile

Turnstile adds an extra verification step to help protect your form from abuse.

It is helpful when your form receives repeated spam or when you want stronger protection than a simple hidden field.

The configured domain should match the real website domain where the form is used.

Turnstile is available on all plans.

Built In Turnstile Example

If Turnstile Does Not Save

Check the following:

• the domain is entered
• the domain format is correct
• the domain is the real website domain where the form is used

Custom CAPTCHA Options

If you enable spam protection, you may also see custom CAPTCHA choices such as:

• Custom reCAPTCHA
• Custom hCaptcha
• Custom Turnstile

Use these options when you already have your own CAPTCHA account and want to use your own keys instead of the default setup.

Important: Secret Key Is Required

When using any custom CAPTCHA option, adding the secret key is important.

Make sure you save the correct values for:

• secret key

Best Practices

• use Honeypot for lightweight protection
• use Turnstile when spam is heavier
• always configure the correct domain
• save both site key and secret key for custom CAPTCHA

Save Changes

After updating spam protection:

1. Click Save Settings.
2. Submit a test entry.
3. Confirm the protection works correctly on the live site.
