Banned Words

To keep your Boost notifications clean (especially when names come from forms), Boost includes a Banned Words filter.

How the Banned Words filter works

Automatic filtering (built-in list)
Boost ships with a pre-filled list of common profane/inappropriate terms. This protects you out of the box, without extra setup.

Custom management (your own rules)
Go to Boost → Banned Words to:

• add new words/phrases you want to block
• remove words you don’t want filtered

What happens when a match is found

When Boost captures an action (for example, a form submission) and the submitted name contains a banned term, Boost blocks it:

• the action is not saved in Boost’s Actions list
• the notification is never displayed to visitors

This is intentional—once blocked, it can’t accidentally show up later through rotation/random order.

Tips

• Add brand-sensitive words (slurs, competitor names, internal test words) to the list.
• If you run lead-gen with “Any Form,” this is especially important because names are user-generated.
