Filter by country
Accept submission from specific countries
In some cases businesses use forms that are only targeting people in specific countries. For example, a local business in London is not expecting any submissions of its customer-support form outside of London, let alone from outside of the United Kingdom.
In such cases, you can configure the form to only accept submissions from specific countries.
Some people may use a VPN, which can make them appear as if they are located in a different country. This is not very common, but could happen.
You can see the origin country of every submission in your form's inbox. You also get this information in notification emails, if you have set them.
