Gravity Forms Akismet Add-On

Spam submissions can fill a form inbox or database with unwanted entries that need manual review. This plugin sends form data to Akismet for spam checking, then marks submissions identified as spam within Gravity Forms. That helps keep flagged entries separate from legitimate form responses.

The add-on maps form fields to Akismet’s spam detection parameters, so the data sent for review can be tailored to the form. It communicates directly with the Akismet API and does not require the Akismet plugin to be active and configured. It can also be used alongside other Gravity Forms anti-spam tools, including reCAPTCHA, HoneyPot fields, and conditional logic.
