Global setting to block email domains on ALL forms

I see that it’s been almost 7 years of people requesting a feature to allow us to globally block domains from filling out our forms that we can apply to all forms without having to go in and edit them one by one. The request is “Being Reviewed” how many more years until it’s available.

I can’t believe this is still not inplemented.

The restriction of the email field isn´t well thought out, with what is allowed at this time, it is absurd to list email domains to deny the sending of a form. Taking into account that there are xN° private domains.
The best thing would be to activate a condition in which only the email domain that we want to receive information is associated, thus blocking the other existing domains automatically./////

No esta bien pensado la restricción del campo correo electronico, con lo permitido en este momento, es absurdo enlistar dominios de correos a denegar el envio de un form. Teniendo en cuenta que hay n dominios privados.
Lo mejor seria activar una condición en que se asocie solo el dominio del correo que queremos recibir información, bloqueando asi los demas dominios existentes de manera automatica.///
I hope they can improve this UX

Is this still not addressed?
It is unreasonable to believe that a Hubspot user should update EVERY individual form to address spam emails. It needs to be an account setting where we can add the email in one location to block it. NOT just a full domain block but also the option to block specific emails that are ‘bad players’
There are a number of logical suggestions in this thread to solve for this.
Also consider the conversations on this similar post in the forum Allow blocking of an individual email address on a form - HubSpot Ideas - HubSpot Community

HubSpot, come on, it’s been 7 years, 100 replies and 306 up votes at this point - this obviously NEEDS to be done!

They are too concerned with changing the UI which nobody asked for, instead of implementing basic & essential functions like this one. 7 Years and counting — maybe after a decade they will fix this.

In my company, I’ve created a recurring joke -

The Ideas Forum Is Where Ideas Go To Die

I recite this whenever I speak to a HS service rep and they advise me to go to the ideas forum - just like this request!

7 years this request has been active … seven… years… and you have yet to implement a global domain block to prevent spam… I’m feeling particularly chagrinned that we just committed to a fresh 2-year commitment right now. Now I have to decide if I want to spend the next 3 or 4 hours combing through all the forms on our website, updating each one individually, just to block the spam of our competitors. Thanks HS!

Hi HubSpot Community,
My name is Joe, I'm the Ideas Forum Manager[...] I'm happy to say we are currently reviewing this request[...] all updates will be relayed on this thread.

What are the odds - yesterday was the 4 year anniversary of hubspot deigning to notice us! :rofl:

Because this idea is finally under review I’d like to reiterate that it is not only a need to have a global block of domains BUT ALSO a need to allow for a global block of individual emails. We have been getting spam across forms by a specific Gmail email address and would not be able to address this case unless we can block only that specific Gmail email address.

+1 for this much needed feature

Upvoting despite the fact that this idea will likely continue to be ignored.

This really needs to be implemented. It would be a colossal time saver.

yes, blocking an email domain across all forms is really time consuming.
There are 2 steps.
First; you need to excule domain name from the form and update it.
Second; you will need to see that on how many website pages; the form appears. You will then have to go to each website page and update the website page; so the form is update on that website page.
This process is really long and I wish that hubspot provides any workflow or any option to update the forms on all website pages in one click.

Hey everyone!

We have launched Formiguard, an AI-powered real-time message validation tool that blocks form submission if spam is detected.

Currently email validation tools exist, but it is very easy for spammers to bypass them simply by using professional looking emails but typing spammy messages.

Formiguard validates the messages and block submission if gibberish, salesy language, promotions, solicitations, profanity and other spam patterns are detected by the AI.

Sign up and try it for free at https://formiguard.tech/ if you want to achieve the following:

  1. Prevent your CRM from being polluted by spam and having to waste time and resources cleaning it up
  2. If you want to prevent spammy form submissions from triggering automations and notifications
  3. If you want to prevent skewed analytics

Formiguard is available for all Hubspot plans and also comes with the following features:

  1. A universal email blocklist that applies to all forms in the portal for adding individual email addresses. If you’re getting spammy submissions from free domains like gmail, yahoo, you can add those individual email addresses to the blocklist instead of blocking the whole domain.
  2. A universal IP address blocklist that applies to all forms in the portal. Utilize this feature if you know the IP address of the spammer
  3. Seting a limit of the number of submissions for each form (Best use case: event registration forms) and adjust the limit at will
  4. IP rate limiting to block submissions if repeated attempts from a single IP address is detected

If you have any questions, please let me know

A feature like this is long overdue. We spend over an hour every time we add a new domain to block all the forms.
I love HubSpot for everything it does and its new features—HubSpot advocates for content, content, content, and efficiency. As you add new content, you end up with an equal number of new forms. You also get many new visitors using fake domains and email addresses that prevent you from contacting them.
There has to be a relatively easy way to create a parent/child relationship in all forms, such as the one attached.

This would be ideal! How long is it going to take to do this? WordPress integrated with Dynamics is capable of block a list without having to assign it to each form.

We regularly see the same spam type domains submitting forms. I know it’s possible to block domains on the form level from form submission, but there should be a way to create a universal block list that you can apply to every form in the account.

I 100% support this - we are getting so many spam form submissions and it would take a full time employee to sit there an individually add eavery domain that submits a form to each of our forms. Please action this as soon as possible!

Use case example-

A competitor who uses form submission to download whitepapers keeps re-entering the system.

Need to be able to block from all forms but have to do each one manually currently.

Need a way to bulk block

Can HubSpot please provide an update on this? Even just to acknowledge that they are still reviewing this thread?

It would be great to have a Global blocklist that stops people from submitting forms, accessing documents & creates a pop-up automatically on accounts to state ‘SPAM’ or ‘COMPETITOR’.

i.e. we have just had a competitor download our pricelist through a form that I had forgotten to blocklist, conduct a meeting with our sales team & receive a quote - all which could have been stopped by a Global blocklist…

Please, please, please enable this feature. Thank you.
