Mark a Lead as Spam Manually

Spam leads can come from bots, junk form submissions, or unwanted conversions. To keep your data clean and your reports accurate, you can manually mark any lead as spam in the Lead Manager or inside the Lead Details page. Once marked, spam leads are excluded from the Lead Manager and all reports by default.

You can view spam leads in the Lead Manager to access and review them.

Note: Spam leads are automatically removed after 30 days. To keep a lead, switch the Spam status back to “No” before that time.

You can quickly mark a lead as spam directly from the Lead Manager table:

  2. Go to the Spam column, or add it if needed
  3. Locate the lead you want to mark as spam.
