B12 contact forms include an automated, invisible spam filter powered by Google reCAPTCHA v3. This built-in protection allows most legitimate inquiries to pass through without interruption while blocking suspicious submissions.

Suspicious messages won’t trigger an email notification, but they are still captured in your Contact Manager, where you can review them at any time.

If you're concerned about missing submissions caused by false positives and prefer a more manual method, you can enable a visible reCAPTCHA checkbox that must be selected to submit your contact forms.

Enabling Google reCAPTCHA

1. From the B12 Dashboard, click website Website > settings Settings.

2. Under Google reCAPTCHA, click on Go to settings.

3. Under Type, select Checkbox.

4. Click Publish in the upper-right corner to update all the forms on your live website.
