Timing of spam filter in relation to Contact Form 7 Submissions

    Hi there,

    I am using your plugin with Contact Form 7. I have set up events tracking with Google Analytics like this:

    https://contactform7.com/tracking-form-submissions-with-google-analytics/

    It looks like my Google Analytics is recording all sumbissions, including spam.

    So I guess that the Analytics event is triggered just after form submission and before the spam filter takes out the spam.

    Is that correct?

    If anyone has any thoughts about how to deal with that, so I don’t record lots of spam events in Analytics, that would be much appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Hello.

    Google Analytics should see only “smart bots” who can perform JS. They are a really small part of all bots types.

    Please, enable the SpamFireWall feature if you haven’t it enabled already. This should reject most part of bots

    Admin Dashboard->Plugins->Anti-Spam by CleanTalk->Settings->Checkbox SpamFireWall

    Be well
