Under the form settings, click on “More Options” and toggle on reCAPTCHA. reCAPTCHA can help detect and prevent bots from submitting spam forms.

Additionally, you can add a “Honeypot” by selecting a word. Honeypots are decoys that can also reduce spam submissions.

Don’t forget to hit the “save” button once done.

These 2 prevention tools can help decrease the amount of spam submissions you are receiving.

But keep in mind that bots are getting smarter by the day and these measures are not a certainty. If you are still experiencing high volume of SPAM after enabling reCAPTCHA and Honeypot, please reach out to our Support Team for further assistance.
