Statamic Akismet

Akismet spam detection for Statamic forms.

How it Works

• Visitor submits form on front-end
• Addon catches it and sends the data to Akismet
• Akismet responds whether the submission is spam or not
• Any submission detected as NOT spam is processed normally (saved, email notification sent if set up, etc.)
• Any submission detected as spam is instead saved in Storage and can be viewed in the CP

How to Install

composer require schwartzmj/statamic-akismet

How to Use

Create a new .env variable called AKISMET_API_KEY and enter your Akismet API key.

Future features / WIP

• Enter API key from front-end
  • Update/Edit
• Better spam entry view
• Allow ability to move from spam back to original form submission, if not spam
• Allow ability to move from original form submission to spam, if spam
• Right now we're guessing at the proper fields, i.e. form needs the following or breaks:
  • Name field called one of: 'name', 'full_name', 'first_name'
  • Message field called 'message'
  • Email field called 'email'
• Should create ability to configure each form or select which forms should be processed, or some notification on the form page if the form is missing any of these fields
• ? Can Akismet function without any of those fields? Maybe we just require some sort of 'content' field, and the others are highly recommended but not required.

Down the road, separate repo:

• Add reCAPTCHA v3 and allow either reCAPTCHA or Akismet, or none
