Formlware protects your contact form from spam using six detection layers: a honeypot trap, time threshold, rate limiting, keyword blocklist, disposable email detection, and duplicate content detection. Blocked submissions are held in a review queue, not deleted, so you can release any legitimate messages that were incorrectly caught.

- Drag & drop builder - build any form, without code.
- Automate - connect your form with Shopify customers and third party apps.
- Upload field - add an upload field to your form for images or files.
- Six-layer spam detection catches bots, keywords, and disposable emails
- Review queue to release false positives so you never miss a legitimate message
- Optional AI detection for sophisticated spam that bypasses standard filters
- Allow and block lists for trusted senders and known spammers
