Do we see entries marked spam from Akismet?

    Hi,

    What will happen to an entry if Akismet sees it as spam? I’d like to review the spam entries before it’s deleted. Is this possible?

    Hi,

    Based on Formidable Forms documentation, when using Honeypot, the entry will not be submitted, so you will not find any submission in the backend.

    Suspicious submissions will be marked as spam and Formidable will prevent the entry from being submitted.

    It’ll do the same while you’ll use the Akismet plugin.

    Akismet saves you time by automatically detecting and preventing spam. It runs hundreds of tests on each entry and determines whether or not to allow form submission. As a result, you don’t have to waste your time sorting through and deleting spam entries.

    You can find more details here: https://formidableforms.com/knowledgebase/add-spam-protection/.

    Hey,

    Thank you for reaching out about this.

    Faisal is right. When Akismet or any other spam tool flag a submission as spam, Formidable Forms won’t allow the entry to be submitted. Only the non-spam entries will be available for you to review.

    Let me know if there is any other question I can help with.
