Spam Protection

Built-in honeypot field to catch bots — no CAPTCHAs needed.

How the honeypot works

Real userCan't see hidden field

Spam botFills every field

Rowen filters_gotcha → discard

Add this to your form

One hidden input. That's all it takes.

<form action="https://rowen.in/api/f/YOUR_FORM_ID" method="POST">
  <input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Name" required>
  <input type="email" name="email" placeholder="Email" required>
  <textarea name="message" placeholder="Message"></textarea>

  <!-- Honeypot: invisible to users, bots fill it in -->
  <input type="text" name="_gotcha" style="display:none">

  <button type="submit">Send</button>
</form>

Why this works

No CAPTCHAs

Users don't have to solve puzzles

Invisible

Hidden with CSS — visitors never see it

Automatic

Server-side filtering — zero config

Use cases

High-Traffic Sites

Public forms on popular websites get hit by bots constantly. Honeypot blocks them silently.

Blogs, open-source projects, community forums

Lead Generation

Keep your CRM clean. Only real leads make it through, not bot-generated junk.

Marketing landing pages, signup forms, demo requests
