Configuration & Deployment

Formie spreads settings across project config, config/formie.php, and control panel database stores. This guide walks through a staging-to-production deploy so you know what syncs, what stays local, and where to change captchas, spam rules, integrations, and form structure without surprises.

Spam keywords are Formie's built-in content screening tool — match words, phrases, boolean logic, or IP addresses against a submission and mark it as spam during the screen workflow stage. This guide covers full syntax, real-world rule sets, and how keywords fit alongside email rules, text rules, guards, and captchas.
