Captchas
OOPSpam
Follow the below steps to connect Formie to the OOPSpam API.
Step 1. Open the Captcha Settings
- Navigate to Formie → Settings → Captchas.
- Select OOPSpam in the left-hand sidebar.
- Turn on Enabled.
Step 2. Get your OOPSpam API Key
- Go to OOPSpam (opens new window) and create an account, or sign in to an existing one.
- Open your OOPSpam dashboard.
- Copy the API key shown under Your API key on the main dashboard page.
Step 3. Connect Formie to OOPSpam
- Paste the API key into the API Key field in Formie.
- Choose a Spam Threshold. Formie defaults to
3, which matches OOPSpam's recommended starting point. - Save the captcha settings.
Step 4. Form Setting
- Go to the form you want to protect.
- Enable OOPSpam for that form.
- 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.
- Save the form.
OOPSpam screens submissions in the background, so there is no visible challenge on the front end.
