Using Filter by Zapier with Spam Score

The Filter App allows you to set conditions for your automation flow to proceed.

For example, you can set the condition that the "Score" (Spam Score) must be less than 3. This ensures only submissions with a low spam score are processed further.

Using Paths by Zapier with Spam Score

Instead of the Filter Zap App, you can use the Paths app to handle submissions differently based on their spam score. Here's how:

• Path A: If the score is less than 3, send an email.
• Path B: If the score is 3 or higher, create a record in Airtable to log the spam submission for later review.

This method helps you store spam submissions for future analysis. If Airtable doesn’t suit your needs, you can use another platform, like Google Sheets.
