Screen your Netlify Forms form submissions without moving the form
Netlify Forms keeps collecting, and keeps every submission. Doorman gets each one by webhook, reads it in milliseconds and forwards the real ones to your email, Slack or CRM with the verdict, so pitches stop reaching you.
No code, and your form stays on Netlify Forms: you paste one webhook URL into its settings. 14 days of Pro free, no card. Then free for 100 submissions a month, or Pro from $29.
Example: Doorman screening netlify forms form, each judged in under half a second and delivered or kept out with the reason.
Sound familiar?
No notification for what Netlify flags
Netlify sends no notification for submissions it flags as spam, so a real lead flagged by mistake is easy to miss.
The built-in filter can't be switched off
Netlify's Akismet filtering is always on, and the pitches it lets through still reach you.
You find out by reading it
Every pitch costs someone a minute. Doorman reads it first and tells you why it kept it out.

Transcript
- “Your demo form.” A message is typed into a demo form: “We do SEO and link building. Quick 15 min chat?” and sent.
- “It gets pitched all day.” The message arrives at Doorman’s door.
- “Doorman reads every one.” It is marked Dropped, sales pitch, with the giveaway sentence underlined. A real demo request is marked Delivered.
- “In ~100 ms. Pitches out, buyers in.” Pitches, card fraud and bot spam are kept out; real buyers go to the inbox.
- “Tell your coding agent.” A Copy prompt button for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and OpenCode is clicked.
- “It sets everything up.” The agent is asked to protect the contact form with Doorman, reads withdoorman.com/llms.txt, changes the form’s action URL and confirms a test submission was delivered.
- “Free to start, in watch mode.” Start with 14 days of Pro, free. Pro: $29 a month. No captcha, no sales call.
- Doorman. Keeps pitches out of your demo form.
Set up in Netlify Forms in two minutes
- In Netlify: open Site configuration → Forms → Form notifications, add an outgoing webhook for new form submissions and paste your Doorman inbound URL.
- JWS secret: paste the one Doorman shows you, so each delivery is signed and checked.
- Then switch off Netlify Forms's own notification: so pitches stop reaching you twice. Doorman emails you the real ones.
- Start safely: watch mode delivers everything for a week and tags what it would have dropped.

Checked, not guessed
Every decision comes from Doorman's models reading the submission, in milliseconds, with the reason attached.
Labelled test set: 104 invented but labelled contact-form and checkout submissions, judged live; latency is the median of those checks. Questions were not tuned to the set.
Questions
Does Netlify Forms still keep my submissions?
Yes. Netlify Forms keeps every submission, exactly as now. Doorman gets a copy of each one, judges it, keeps it in its own inbox with the reason, and forwards the real ones. Doorman doesn't write back to Netlify Forms: it keeps everything, and you decide.
Do I get two emails for every submission?
Only until you turn off Netlify Forms's own notification email. Then the real ones reach you once, from Doorman, and the pitches don't reach you at all.
Is the webhook verified?
When you set the JWS secret token on the notification, Netlify signs each delivery, Doorman checks it, and a wrong signature is refused. Doorman only sees what Netlify passes on: what Netlify's own filter flags as spam never reaches the webhook.
How much does it cost?
Free for 100 submissions a month. Pro is $29 a month for 5,000 and Business is $79 a month for 50,000, and every account starts with 14 days of Pro. Until November 30, the first 100 paying customers get Pro at $19 or Business at $59 for as long as they stay. Every plan gets the same models. See pricing.
