Yes, it is possible to create a hidden honeypot field in a Webflow form that doesn't display in the email submission. Here's how you can achieve this:
1. Add a new field to your form: Start by adding a new field to your form, which will serve as the honeypot field. You can name it anything you like, but it's a good practice to use a deceptive name like "website" or "leave blank."
2. Make the honeypot field hidden: Select the honeypot field and navigate to the Settings panel on the right-hand side. Under the Field Settings, you'll find an option called "Hidden." Enable this option to hide the honeypot field from the form.
3. Adjust the field's display properties: By default, when you set a field as hidden, it will still take up space in the form layout. To prevent this, you can target the honeypot field and modify its display properties using custom code. First, give the field a unique class name by selecting it and going to the Styles panel on the right-hand side. Then, switch to the Custom Code tab in the project settings (the gear icon on the left-hand side). Add the following CSS code:
```css
.unique-class-name {
display: none !important;
}
```
Replace "unique-class-name" with the actual class name you assigned to the honeypot field.
4. Set up your email integration: After configuring the honeypot field, you can proceed to set up your email integration. Webflow offers various email software providers, such as Mailchimp or Zapier, which you can connect to automatically send form submissions to your desired email provider.
5. Exclude the honeypot field in your email software: Login to your email software provider and find the settings or configurations for your form integration. Look for an option that allows you to exclude specific form fields from being included in the email submission. Exclude the honeypot field from the email submission so that it won't be visible when you receive form submissions.
By following these steps, you can create a hidden honeypot field in Webflow forms and filter out spam emails without removing the honeypot field name.
