Gravity Forms spam protection that reads the submission
Gravity Forms is built for high-value work: quote requests, applications, bookings and lead capture. That makes every fake submission expensive, because someone on your team chases it. QWeb Spam Shield scores each entry with AI so only real submissions reach you.
Works with Gravity Forms
The cost of Gravity Forms spam
Because Gravity Forms often powers quote and application forms, a fake submission is not just noise. It enters your workflow, triggers notifications, and sometimes a follow-up call before anyone realises it was never real. Multi-step and file-upload forms also give bots more surface to abuse.
How Spam Shield protects Gravity Forms
- AI content analysis on the entered values, catching plausible fake quote and partnership requests.
- Honeypot, timing and velocity checks stop automated entry bursts.
- File and link safeguards flag upload-field abuse and link stuffing.
- Held for review, not deleted, so a genuine high-value lead is never silently dropped.
No CAPTCHA on your lead forms
Putting a puzzle in front of a quote form is the fastest way to lose a serious enquiry. Spam Shield protects the form invisibly, so your highest-intent visitors finish and submit without friction.
Setting it up, and where blocked spam goes
Install QWeb Spam Shield and activate it. It detects Gravity Forms automatically and protects every form, with no per-form setup and no configuration.
When Gravity Forms receives a spam submission, Spam Shield marks the entry as spam, so Gravity Forms files it in its own Spam folder and suppresses the notification. Nothing is deleted: the entry stays in Gravity Forms where you can review or restore it, and Spam Shield logs why it was flagged. A genuine entry caught by mistake is one click away from being restored and delivered.
