The New Wix Forms come with built-in spam filters to help keep unwanted messages out. To customize your level of protection, follow the steps below to adjust your spam filter settings:
- Click Edit Form to open the form builder.
- Click Settings.
- Select Spam filter settings.
- Choose from the following options:
- Only reCAPTCHA: Uses invisible reCAPTCHA to analyze site visitor behavior and determine if they are human or a bot. If suspected to be a bot, a challenge is shown. This is the lowest level of spam protection.
- Basic and reCAPTCHA: After passing invisible reCAPTCHA, submissions go through a basic spam filter that labels spam based on criteria like network identifiers and contact information. This is the mid-level spam protection.
- Advanced and reCAPTCHA: Includes reCAPTCHA and the basic filter, plus an advanced filter using additional technologies to mark spam. This highest level of spam protection is only applied if the other two filters do not mark the submission as spam.
