# Form Spam Protection

> Every Tented form is protected from bots automatically with Cloudflare Turnstile

## Overview

Forms on published tents include built-in bot protection powered by [Cloudflare Turnstile](https://www.cloudflare.com/products/turnstile/). It blocks automated spam submissions before they reach your dashboard, your contact list, or your automations, so a bot can't fill your CRM with junk or trigger your autoresponder flows.

Protection is included on every plan and requires no setup. It applies to all Tented forms automatically when you publish.

## How It Works

1. When you publish a tent, Tented adds an invisible verification widget to each form on the page.
2. When a visitor submits the form, the widget proves they're human and attaches a one-time verification token.
3. Tented's servers verify the token with Cloudflare. Once verification is active for a tent, submissions that fail it are rejected and never stored.

<Note>
  The check is invisible for the vast majority of visitors. In rare cases where Cloudflare needs more signal, a small checkbox appears in the form asking the visitor to confirm. There are no puzzles to solve.

## What's Covered

* All forms created by Tented, whether generated by AI, added from a template, or part of a blank tent scaffold.

Note that form submissions are disabled inside the editor preview, so nothing is sent or stored while you design. To test a real submission, publish the tent and submit the form on your live page.

Forms embedded from third-party tools (like HubSpot or Klaviyo embeds) submit to those services directly, so they use that provider's own spam protection instead.
