    I do apologise but I didn't mean to hit send.

    I was investigating how I could stop submissions by automated processes e.g. robots. 

    I notice that in the settings area you can set a limit as to the number of submissions but wondered if there was another way to prevent this.

    No biggie - One way to prevent automated submissions (e.g. spam, robots, etc.) is to add a Captcha Field to your form.

    You have a couple of options to choose from so just head over to the guide I'm linking below and give it a spin.
