Production notes

Make it reliable before launch

  • Submit from the real production domain and confirm delivery logs show the expected origin.
  • Keep hidden fields for routing and context, not secrets. Public access keys are identifiers.
  • Use allowed domains, honeypots, rate limits, and optional CAPTCHA for public forms.
  • Test uploads, webhook payloads, spreadsheet rows, and autoresponder copy before publishing.
