CleanTalk Spam Protection in Fluent Forms

Fluent Forms integrates CleanTalk to enhance the security of your form submissions and protect them from spambots. This article will guide you through integrating CleanTalk on your WordPress Site through Fluent Forms.  

This guide will show you how to connect CleanTalk to your forms. There are two simple ways to do this:

Method 1: Use your CleanTalk Access Key directly in Fluent Forms.

Method 2: Use the official CleanTalk plugin for WordPress.

Connect with a CleanTalk Access Key #

This is the easiest way to integrate CleanTalk with Fluent Forms. You’ll just need to get an “Access Key” from your CleanTalk account and paste it into Fluent Forms.

Get Your Access Key from CleanTalk #

To learn how to get the Access Key from CleanTalk, follow the steps with the screenshots below –

Go to the CleanTalk website and log in to your dashboard. If you don’t have an account, you’ll need to create one first.

Add the Key to Fluent Forms #

First, go to Global Settings from the WordPress Left Sidebar or FluentForms Navbar, open the Security tab from the left sidebar, and click the CleanTalk option.

  • Access Key: Now, you will be asked to provide the Access Key from your  CleanTalk Account for the configuration.
  • Spam Validation: Using this option, you can select what will happen once a submission is marked as spam. You can choose any one among these “Mask as Spam“, “Make the Form Submission as failed“, or “Mark as Spam and Skip Processing” options.

Once you provide the Access Key, press the Save Settings button to make your CleanTalk Integration functional.
