Yes, our contact form uses Ajax loading/validation technology to prevent spam and robot submissions. Thousands of merchants are using our contact form without any problems.
If you receive any messages not from mailer@zotabox.com, then they are not from our contact form (please check to see if you have any other default contact forms installed on your website – even if they are not turned on).
In rare cases where you are receiving spam messages from mailer@zotabox.com you can turn on our advanced re-captcha feature in your advanced settings on your Zotabox dashboard.
Yes, you can add multiple contact forms (and other tools) to your website using our ‘multi-tool feature on the setting page.

Visitor emails collected by using our contact form can integrate with Mailchimp when added to your email list by checking ‘Add contact to email list’ on the setting page. The merchant is responsible for complying with relevant privacy laws.
You can also collect new email subscribers by using one of our email collection tools such as our Email Capture Popup or Email Capture Bar.
We set your customer email in the “Reply-To” field in the email header. So when you click reply, the email will be sent to your customer email address, not our sender email.
Also, when you use our ‘auto-response’ the ‘actual’ sender will be mailer@zotabox.com but your customers will see your email address as the ‘reply to email’ and reply directly to you.
Your visitors will NOT see mailer@zotabox.com when you reply to them.
You can test this by replying to your ‘test email address’.
Visitor messages sent using our contact form are delivered via secure Amazon servers.
Zotabox keeps a log of messages for 30 days to check for spam and fix bugs.
Private messages are encrypted and can not be read by Zotabox.

Your customers can attach up to 5 files of 5 MB each.

Mailchimp only adds NEW email addresses to your Mailchimp lists (not addresses already on or previously deleted from your mailchimp list).
Please use a NEW email to test email capture tools. Also, if you click ‘double opt-in’ on the zotabox setting page (https://zotabox.com/dashboard/emailservices/) your customers will need to click the confirmation link in a verification email to be added to your mailchimp list.
You can uncheck this box to allow for single opt-in (without verification step).
Note: Your field names must be the EXACT SAME NAME on your Zotabox setting page and your Mailchimp (or other email marketing provider) list to integrate correctly.
Please make sure first and last name are ‘not required’ in Mailchimp. In Mailchimp, go to ‘Lists’ – ‘Settings’ – ‘List Fields and *MERGE* Tags’. Make sure First and Last Name ‘Required’ Boxes are UNCHECKED.
