TheAccidentalWebDesignerQ: Cloudflare & SPAM Protection?
Hi, two questions with your app:
1. We use Cloudflare and many of their anti-SPAM (managed challenge) features to block the SPAM bots. It's been 99.8% effective on our site but that level of protection does come with a headache when we try to integrate 3rd party apps like this. Any known issues or recommendations for working with Cloudflare protected sites?
2. Depending on your answer to question 1, do you have any features built into the app to prevent or mitigate SPAM? I know nothing is 100% effective but concerned about implementing this and getting SPAM'd via text and contact forms.
Thanks!

Feb 17, 2026A: 1) Haven't had too much interaction with this. We use Cloudflare on our .com site and haven't had issues with Spam when it comes to our Contact Form embedded inside the actual button itself. (We have definitely had issues with spam sign-ups, but I think we've found a way to reduce that now, but that's not really related to our product)
2) Yes, we have the ability to block IPs from seeing your button displayed, ability to block people who submit to often via the contact form, etc. Otherwise, a lot of what we do is link people to messenger services like WhatsApp or Telegram where they have their own spam filter mechanisms.
Not sure if this fully addresses the question, but let me know if there was a specific widget we offer other than the Contact Form one you were concerned about spam coming from. Best, Pete
