Customization#

FormBeep works automatically with all forms on your website, but you can customize its behavior using form attributes.

Ignore Specific Forms#

To exclude certain forms from FormBeep (like login forms, search bars, or newsletter signups), add the data-formbeep-ignore attribute:

<!-- This form will be ignored by FormBeep -->
<form data-formbeep-ignore>
  <input name="search" placeholder="Search...">
  <button>Search</button>
</form>

When to use:

Login/signup forms
Search forms
Filters or sort controls
Internal admin forms
Any form you don’t want notifications for

How FormBeep Works (Mirror Mode)#

FormBeep operates in mirror mode, meaning it:

✅ Sends form data to WhatsApp in the background
✅ Lets your form submit normally to its original destination
✅ Doesn’t interfere with your form’s success messages or redirects
✅ Works alongside WordPress Contact Form 7, Wix Forms, Shopify forms, etc.

Your forms continue to work exactly as they did before adding FormBeep.

Honeypot Spam Protection#

FormBeep automatically injects hidden honeypot fields (formbeep_hp and w2p_hp) into your forms to detect bots:

Real users don’t see or fill these fields
Spam bots typically fill all fields, including hidden ones
Submissions with filled honeypot fields are silently discarded
No configuration needed — it just works

Rate Limiting#

FormBeep enforces rate limits to prevent abuse:

60 requests/minute per IP address
100 requests/minute per API key
60 requests/minute per user account

If you need higher limits, contact support for a custom plan.
