Quick answer:

Turn on captcha for each of your public forms, including the enquiry form and the application form, in your school settings. Then archive any spam records that have already come in.

For school admins: reduce spam submissions on your public forms and tidy up spam records.

Turn on captcha for your public forms

  1. Go to Settings > School Settings and open the School Information tab.

  2. Find the captcha options.

  3. Turn on captcha for each public form. Include both the enquiry form and the application form, as spam can come in through either.

  4. Select Save Changes.

Clean up spam records

Archive spam enquiries so they no longer show on your rosters. Open the profile and, in the right panel, set Access & Permissions to Archived. If you would rather remove a record completely, you can delete the profile instead. Deletion is permanent.

💡 Tip

If spam keeps arriving after captcha is on, contact OpenApply Support and say which form it is coming through so the team can look into it.
