Next, hover over one of your forms and click the "Settings" link. Now, scroll down to "Form Options" where you'll see a new setting labeled “Prevent spam using Gravity Forms Zero Spam”. Enable this for spam protection!

You can also turn this option on by default for all new forms from the Zero Spam global settings on the Gravity Forms "Settings" page.

Gravity Forms Zero Spam also enables you to receive automated spam reports over email. To enable this feature, hover over "Forms", click on "Settings", and then click on "Zero Spam". Next, scroll down to "Spam Report Email" and choose how often you would like to receive spam reports.

When you're done, click "Send Email and Save Settings" to send a test email to your chosen email address. Check to ensure your email is set up correctly and then click the "Save Settings" button below.
