How to Add Google reCAPTCHA v2 to a FormĪdding Google reCAPTCHA v2 to a form is a quick and easy process, although the first time you do it you will need to sign up for a free Google account and integrate it with your website. However, it is important to note that the use of reCAPTCHA v3 requires the sending of user behavior information from your site pages to Google servers.įor more information on these two reCAPTCHA options, and to help you pick the right one for your forms, check out this Google reCAPTCHA guide. Using Google reCAPTCHA v3 not only helps identify spam entries, it also ensures that your users aren’t interrupted during a form submission, which could lead to higher conversion rates. Gravity Forms will compare the score to the threshold established in your settings, and if the entry is less than or equal to that threshold, the entry will be sent to spam. When a form entry is submitted, the Google reCAPTCHA score that is generated by the interaction is then stored with the form entry. All interactions on your site are given a score, with 1.0 being a likely good interaction, and 0.0 probably a bot. ReCAPTCHA v3 works by tracking actions on your site – Google then uses the data collected to identify possible spam or bot activity. Google reCAPTCHA v3 was introduced to capitalize on the evolving technology of spam and bot detection that Google had implemented, and to try to make the reCAPTCHA experience as frictionless as possible by not interrupting the user. Gravity Forms now also provides support for Google reCAPTCHA v3 via one of our newest integrations – the Gravity Forms reCAPTCHA Add-On.
