Hi all

Are there any workarounds for Infusionsoft’s absence of back-end form validation?

(client-side form validation isn’t working - I’m trying to tackle a specific type of spam which isn’t originating from the form on the website - at a guess the spambot has found the direct infusionsoft link to the form).

I have a custom ‘whole number’ field on the form that I want validated in order to stop the spam, but Infusionsoft processes the form even with alphabetical characters.

Hi Max,

We recently implemented some additional webform/landing page security that will help prevent form submissions by web bots. More information can be found [here](http://help.infusionsoft.com/web-form-bot-security-faq). Some of community also uses Google reCaptcha as well. One of our partners created a setup help article [here](http://myfusionhelper.com/adding-google-recaptcha-infusionsoft-web-order-forms-reduce-spam/).

Thanks!  
Janice
