Spam Control
When you share a form publicly, there is a possibility of receiving spam entries in your form. To prevent spam entries, Zoho Forms provides an option to include a CAPTCHA in your form. This option helps you validate if it is a human or a bot filling your form by challenging them to enter a response before they submit a form and keeping irrelevant data at bay. You can use the default CAPTCHA available in Zoho Forms or integrate with Google's reCAPTCHA services to protect your forms online.
Zoho Forms CAPTCHA
This is a combination of alphanumeric characters used as a security check to ensure only human users can pass through.
- Go to Settings > General > Spam Control.
- Under Select a CAPTCHA version, select Zoho Forms CAPTCHA.
- Enter a CAPTCHA Label.
- Enter a CAPTCHA Description and click Save.
Google reCAPTCHA v2
To prevent spam and bot entries in your form, you can integrate with Google's reCAPTCHA services. To set this up for your form, you will require a set of API key pair. You can choose from the following Google ReCAPTCHA options:
