The rule
Every enquiry submission must include fields.consent equal to the exact string "yes". A missing flag, a boolean true, or "Yes" all fail with consent_required.
Send it right
Collect explicit consent in your UI, then send the string.
{ "form": "contact-us",
"fields": { "name": "Jordan Ellis", "email": "[email protected]",
"message": "Please call me.", "consent": "yes" } }Why it is strict
The flag is the record that the person agreed to be contacted. It is deliberately un-bypassable, which is why it is validated as an exact string rather than a loose truthy value.
Frequently asked questions
Can I default consent to yes server-side?
No — and you should not. The flag records a real human agreement. Collect it explicitly, then pass it through.
Does "true" or true work?
No. It must be the exact string "yes". Anything else fails with consent_required. See the error page.
