  2. Open your OOPSpam dashboard.
  3. Copy the API key shown under Your API key on the main dashboard page.

Step 3. Connect Formie to OOPSpam

  1. Paste the API key into the API Key field in Formie.
  2. Choose a Spam Threshold. Formie defaults to 3, which matches OOPSpam's recommended starting point.

Step 4. Form Setting

  1. Go to the form you want to protect.

  3. For multi-page forms, turn on Show on All Pages if the spam check should run on every page instead of only the final submit step.
  4. Save the form.

OOPSpam screens submissions in the background, so there is no visible challenge on the front end.
