SpamPatrol

Stop wasting time sifting through garbage and start focusing on submissions that need attention.

The SpamPatrol plugin will automatically detect other supported form plugins that you are using and integrate with them to process spam submissions based on your desired settings.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s a bot or human abusing your contact form, SpamPatrol will analyze the submissions and determine whether it’s spam.

Avoid playing whack-a-mole with unruly spammers that use a wide range of IPs and domains. SpamPatrol works based on understanding the message submitted to catch all the things that your typical website visitor or app user won’t do.

1. Add the plugin from within WordPress or by uploading the zip archive
2. Activate the plugin
3. Supported form plugins will need any fields to be analyzed indicated using special attributes. For details can be found at https://spampatrol.io/docs/wordpress
4. Under the plugin settings you can indicate your desired spam score threshold (default 50) as well as what you would like to do with the spam submissions.

Developers are also able to use the included spampatrol_analyze helper function for any custom integration that needs it.

`php

<?php

spampatrol_analyze( array(
‘content’ => ”, // Text content to be analyzed (required)
‘visitorIp’ => ”, // IP address of the end-user/visitor (optional)
‘expectedCountries’ => array(
‘US’,
‘CA’,’GB’,
), // optional list of ISO 639-1 counties to indicate where submissions are expected to originate from
‘expectedLanguages’ => array(
‘en’,
‘es’,
), // optional list of ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 languages to indicate the language expected for content
