Gravity Forms Akismet Add-On

The Gravity Forms Akismet Add-On is a WordPress plugin that filters spam form entries using Akismet's spam detection. Every submission is checked automatically, and entries flagged as spam are stopped before notifications are sent or data reaches other add-ons. You can map form fields to Akismet to improve detection accuracy and reduce false positives.

Key Features

• Automatic spam filtering – Each form submission is checked against Akismet's global spam database, and entries flagged as spam are handled without manual moderation.
• No separate plugin needed – The add-on communicates directly with the Akismet API, so you don't need to install a separate Akismet plugin.
• Field mapping – You can map individual form fields, such as name, email, website, and message, so more accurate data is sent to Akismet.
• Spam stopped before notifications – Submissions flagged as spam do not trigger notifications or pass data to other add-ons.
• Works with other anti-spam tools – The add-on can be used alongside other anti-spam measures such as reCAPTCHA, Cloudflare Turnstile, and honeypot protection.

Who Is It For

This add-on is for WordPress site owners using Gravity Forms who receive form submissions and want to cut down on spam. It suits sites with high submission volumes, where automatic filtering keeps spam out of notifications and connected add-ons.
