Overview
Spam entries clutter your inbox and dilute the data your forms collect. Traditional CAPTCHA challenges can slow visitors down, and some people give up before they finish. This add-on uses reCAPTCHA v3, which works in the background and does not interrupt the person filling in the form.
The add-on analyzes interactions and assigns a score that separates real users from bots. You set the score threshold that decides which entries get flagged or sent to spam, and you can protect one form or several. It suits contact, registration, survey and lead generation forms built with Gravity Forms.
Features
- Google reCAPTCHA v3 connection: Connects your Gravity Forms to Google reCAPTCHA v3 so submissions are checked for signs of spam and automated bot activity before they reach you.
- Background verification: reCAPTCHA v3 runs behind the scenes, so visitors do not face puzzles or checkbox challenges and can submit forms without interruption.
- Interaction scoring: Each interaction receives a score that helps tell real users from bots, giving the add-on a basis for deciding which entries look suspicious.
- Configurable score threshold: Set the sensitivity of spam detection by choosing a score threshold, which gives you control over which entries are flagged or sent to spam.
- Automatic spam filtering: Entries identified as spam by their reCAPTCHA score are redirected automatically, which saves manual cleanup and keeps your form data tidy.
- Score noted on spam entries: The spam note on an entry includes the reCAPTCHA score and the threshold in effect when it was marked, which helps you review why it was caught.
- Protection for any form: Apply spam protection to one form or to all of them, including contact, registration, survey and lead generation forms.
- Modern Gravity Forms support: Built to work with current Gravity Forms releases on modern WordPress setups, and made by the Gravity Forms development team.
Best for
- Sites using Gravity Forms that receive bot submissions
- Businesses and nonprofits with contact or registration forms
- Owners who want spam filtering without visitor challenges
