Question

Why is Zapier triggering on Facebook crawling bots for my ClickFunnels landing page?


As of yesterday, after going live with some facebook ads that lead to my clickfunnels 2.0 landing page, i’ve been getting DOZENS of random zap runs, and when I track the IP addresses in the US, it’s always Facebook as the ISP, and other people report that to be facebooks’ crawling bots. But why is it triggering Contact Form Submitted, even though I have required fields (contact info) that it isn’t filling out? and i’ve had this same landing page for weeks and this never happened until yesterday. It’s so many zaps that i had to set up a filter to not let it go through unless Last Name field exists. What’s going on?

Hi ​@gabealmeida 

Zap trigger: ClickFunnels - Contact Form Submitted

That is an instant trigger type that fires from a webhook that originates from ClickFunnels.

Think of it as a push from ClickFunnels to Zapier, rather than a pull from Zapier to ClickFunnels.

I’d suggest reaching out to ClickFunnels Support for help troubleshooting why the Zap is being triggered.

Perhaps there are form submissions that are being marked as junk/spam in ClickFunnels.

Hi there, ​@gabealmeida 👋

Were you able to get to the bottom of what was causing the Zap to trigger unexpectedly here?

If not, does the Zap have a funnel selected? Asking because if a funnel is specified in the Contact Submitted Form trigger, then any forms submitted on any page belonging to the funnel will trigger the "Contact Submitted Form" trigger. Do you think that could be what was causing the Zap to trigger unexpectedly?

If so, to prevent that, you’d need to leave the Funnel field empty in the Zap and just select the Page that you want to trigger the Zap.

Keen to ensure you’re all set here so please keep us updated on how you’re getting on!
