GET variable:

GET variable allows to pass information from URL to the form. For example you create a link/button to contact us page that contains GET variable (http:/example.com/?product=Shampoo), in this case your GET variable name is 'product', so in NM contact form field settings you need to define same GET variable. When user visits Contact Us page, the field will be pre-filled with GET variable value. You can save some time for the users, so they doesn't have to fill information that is already known, and just needs to be sent with form all together.

You can use GET variable with following contact form fields:

Hidden field
Regular input
Checkbox
Select
Textarea

What is Honey POT and how to enable it

HoneyPot is one of anti-spam methods. It creates a hidden field within contact form, that meant to be leaved blank. Bots aren’t always so smart, and they fill all fields regardless. That allows code to know, that contact form was filled by bot, and prevent from sending actual message to the receiver.

Pros and Cons:

Doen’t impact looks of the contact form, it’s hidden, so does not bother users.
This method won’t work if spam attack is targeted or bot is super advanced as it’s possible to teach bot to leave that field clear.

Works well for low traffic sites, that gets less of spammers interest.

To enable it, just click ‘add field’ button on the selected contact form, and set field type to HoneyPot.

What is reCaptcha and how to enable it

reCaptcha is advanced third party anti-spam solution. It’s reliable anti-spam solution provided by Google.

To set up Google reCaptcha on NM contact forms plugin you have to gain ‘site key’ and ‘secret’ which you can do by registering your site on https://www.google.com/recaptcha/ (It’s completely free). Once you do that go, to NM Contact forms plugin settings, and enter you ‘site-key’ and ‘secret’ into the fields and hit save.

After that go back to the forms page, choose to which form you want to add Google reCaptcha then simply click ‘add field’ and set field type to reCaptcha.
