I added a form to my site and it worked during the testing phase. We’re about to go live and I tested it again and it did not appear in the dashboard. The site is new-york-klezmer and it has the following domain: https://www.newyorkklezmer.com I looked at the network tab in the browser and I see t…

I figured it out: in firefox there is auto-fill of fields and it was auto-filling in the bot-field. I thought it would be better to use a realistic field label of “Phone” for the bot-field so that spammers would have less chance of detecting it, but I will change the label to something more unique. …

Yes: I do have “netlify” on the form element. (I think if I didn’t I wouldn’t see the form on the netlify dashboard). I do have a name on the opening form. (I see that name on the dashboard so I assume that was recognized) The name is unique because I only have one form. Every input does have a “n…

(Note the above html was from doing a “view page source”. The original html I wrote contains this first line: <form class="contact-form" name="contact" method="POST" netlify-honeypot="bot-field" netlify action="/thanks.html"> )

Hey @Joel_Rubin , I just sent a test submission to your form and I show that it was successful. I don’t have access to your site’s forms through the UI, so could you let me know if you’re seeing it here? Netlify App Start building the best web experiences in record time …

Yes, that submission went through and is both on your dashboard and the notification email was sent. However, I just tried again to send something and it did not show up either in “verified” or “spam”. But then I tried in Safari and Chrome and the message showed up. I then tried again in Firefox a…

hi Joel, glad it is working now! I don’t think that we will have a way to differentiate between types of spam submissions - the vast majority of spam will always be bot-spam. Maybe I’m misunderstanding?

Hi Perry, This is now a feature request - it might help me or someone else in the future. I wasn’t asking for netlify to differentiate - I was just asking for transparency. When the message didn’t show up my question was “What was the server activity at my domain in the last 5 minutes?” If I had a…

I’ll respectfully second that as well. It would be useful to have better visibility into the way Netlify’s form action handlers respond to all transactions, not just those it deems as ‘accepted’ or ‘spam’ – knowing that it was POST’ed to but determined that particular event to be spam presents value…

Hey @Joel_Rubin and @jonsully , I’ve been looking into our form processing and have added this question of disappearing form submissions that do not appear in either “verified” or “spam” areas of the UI to a meeting with our backend engineers. I agree that it’s confusing and makes troubleshooting pr…

Update on this: where we previously did not, we now have logging internally for form submissions that are dropped because they got caught by the honeypot. Surfacing that information in the UI is quite a bit more complicated so I can’t say if/when that will be a live feature, but at least we’ll now b…
