Hi, I’ve a question, that maybe is a noob question… So my mautic (self hosted) creates leads with only the IP ( those are the anonymous leads, right?) and i was looking for a way to prevent that to happen. There is any way a i can disable that feature? If yes, after disable it can i keep track of the other leads that have name and email? Thanks Luis ---
