Gravity Forms Spam Shield
Spam filters like reCAPTCHA and Cloudflare Turnstile cut down on spam — but they
don't stop all of it. As bots get better (and AI helps them beat challenges), some
junk always slips through. The real pain isn't the spam entry itself; it's that
every submission fires an admin notification email, so a single automated run can
bury an inbox under hundreds or thousands of messages overnight.
Gravity Forms Spam Shield catches what your spam filter misses. It scores each
submission as it comes in, silently quarantines the spammy ones as native Gravity
Forms spam — so no per-submission email goes out — and then sends the admin a single
daily summary of what was blocked. The flood stops, the inbox stays clean, and you
still get a once-a-day digest to review for anything caught by mistake.
It runs alongside reCAPTCHA/Turnstile, not instead of them — a second line of
defense that you control.
How it works
- Scores every Gravity Forms submission with a tunable, weighted engine.
- Anything at or above your threshold is marked as Gravity Forms spam (no admin email)
and recorded in a log.
- Once a day, if anything was blocked, it emails one digest summarizing it —
