Hi,
We just launched a survey, and I noticed that we received a lot of bogus responses. We’re raffling out some gift cards and I’m assuming the bogus responses for the same! Is there a way to eliminate these responses easily?
Here is the survey:

Eliminating bogus responses
Best answer by john.desborough
there are some other posts in the community on this topic, if you use the search function you should be able to find some of them.
that being said, you can use a logic rule to examine the email address along these lines:
- if email-answer contains ‘@gmail.com’ then jumpto a page that says you don’t allow gmail addresses, only valid corporate email addresses
- you can add conditions to the rule as well ie OR if email-answer contains ‘@yahoo.com’ … etc…
- if the email-answer is not routed to the ‘sorry’ page, then jumpto the next appropriate question.
does that help?/

+5Hi 
Would you mind clarifying what is a bogus response for your form? For example, is it just fake emails? Or multiple responses from the same email? That will help me figure out a solution for you!

Hey
I think they are actual email addresses because that is the only way, the responder can get the raffle prize. See attached. I’m sure both these emails are accurate but it is just some random person finalizing the survey
Maybe I need to do this:
- Emails should come from a company address, like @cnn.com or @transform.com.
- Make the survey private

The video was super useful
I changed the question to ask for corporate email address. If they respond with gmail or yahoo, they get redirected back to the same question. Used advanced logic and the statement feature.
