My [quote request form] has been running for a campaign since [1 October]. Show me how many entries it received per day and its spam rate. List the new entries, masked as SAR shows them, and point out the ones that look like spam and the ones that look like real enquiries still waiting for an answer. After I approve, mark the spam as spam and the ones I have already answered as read.

How many enquiries did my [campaign form] get? Spot the spam and mark what I've answered.
What happens
- The AI app reads the form's entries per day and by status, and its spam rate: counts only.
- It lists the new entries masked on the site before they leave it: names as first name and initial, emails and phones shortened, addresses, IP addresses and payment details left out.
- It suggests which entries look like spam and which wait for an answer; each entry has a link to open it in full in wp-admin.
- Marking an entry as spam or read waits for your approval in SAR; nothing is ever deleted, and each change can be undone.

What you get
A tidy inbox of real enquiries and a spam rate to watch. Replies go from your own email; SAR reads entries at most 60 times an hour, so very busy forms are best handled a day at a time.
