Spam even with ReCaptcha turned on

Hi,

As you can't use the photo verification for recaptcha, is there any other way to prevent bots from replying to my contact forms? Get a good few emails a day and it's cluttering up my inbox.

  Hi Harry,

  Please think about using one of these plugins to combat spambots if you use WordPress. https://blog.hubspot.com/website/6-best-anti-spam-wordpress-plugins

  Please check to see whether adding an external form would help decrease spam if you are on Brizy Cloud. Here are some options to think about:  https://zapier.com/blog/best-online-form-builder-software/ You can use the Embed element to integrate one of these forms.

  Hi KC George,

  For WordPress, does Brizy Pro have an integration with Akismet, or any other Spam Protection tool in that HubSpot list?

  It's my understanding that Akismet only works if there's a direct integration?

  I highlight Akismet, because it's free and ubiquitous in the WP eco-system. Might be an easy win for the Brizy team to integrate with it (if not already).

  Hi 

  We have not worked out integrations with Spam protection plugins. As a work around, please consider creating a form using a form builder plugin like WP Forms which integrates with Akismet. You can embed the form to a Brizy page using the Brizy Shortcode element.

  

  Please have a look at this page for the procedure to enable Akismet for a form built using WP Forms https://wpforms.com/how-to-filter-contact-form-spam-with-akismet/
