Security Guide
Anti-spam configuration
Protect your forms and your AI usage from bots, junk submissions, and unnecessary costs.
1
Why spam matters
Spam does not just fill your lead list with junk. It can also waste AI operations, distort reporting, and trigger irrelevant reply emails.
Good anti-spam protection improves both quality and cost control.
2
Recommended protections
Use one or more of the following protections in your form setup:
- reCAPTCHA
- Honeypot fields
- Rate limiting
- Email validation
- Blocked word or domain rules
3
Reduce AI waste
Where possible, run anti-spam validation before SmartForm AI processes the submission. This prevents junk leads from consuming AI calls.
The best anti-spam setup blocks bad submissions before they enter your lead workflow at all.
4
Testing and monitoring
After enabling anti-spam, test with a normal submission and then review your logs or lead list to confirm that valid submissions still come through correctly.
Overly aggressive spam settings can block real leads. Test carefully after every change.
Protect your lead flow
Strong anti-spam settings keep your lead quality high and your AI usage focused on real customers.
