Description
The Gravity Forms Blocklist plugin helps site administrators block unwanted or spammy form submissions by validating field inputs against customizable blacklists. It allows blocking entries based on keywords, email addresses or domains, IP addresses, and even countries. Users can define blacklists (to block submissions containing certain values) as well as whitelists (to accept submissions only from specified values) for enhanced control over who can submit forms.
The plugin supports advanced keyword matching, recognizing obfuscated words with spaces or special characters, and can process IP ranges and countries for geolocation-based filtering. It offers features like blocking submissions with custom validation messages, saving blocked submission attempts for review, notifying administrators when blacklist rules are triggered, and importing or exporting blacklist data via CSV files. It also supports multi-page forms and can delete entries automatically if a blacklist condition is met.
Beyond traditional blacklisting, the plugin provides options to handle invitation codes allowing form access only to users with valid unique codes. This comprehensive filtering system is ideal for preventing spam, blocking competitors’ data, restricting submissions to certain regions, or managing invitation-only forms within Gravity Forms.
