  • Fixed an issue where duplicate entries are created when using Conversational Forms with reCAPTCHA v3.

Fight Form Spam with Google reCAPTCHA v3

Included with all active Gravity Forms licenses, the Gravity Forms reCAPTCHA Add-On is an effective way to fight spam form entries on your WordPress website.

Google reCAPTCHA provides a user-friendly solution with a frictionless approach that shouldn’t negatively affect your visitors or form conversion rates. This is because Google reCAPTCHA v3 uses continuous machine learning to detect and challenge non-human users while letting human visitors submit your forms without interruption.

Thanks to this approach, you’ll receive fewer spam form entities without preventing genuine users from accessing your forms.

For reCAPTCHA to work, it tracks user actions on your site to identify possible spam or bot activity. As this user behavior data is sent to Google for analysis, you might want to read up on how reCAPTCHA works before enabling the add-on.

Note: The reCAPTCHA Add-On is available to all customers. Gravity Forms v2.5 (or higher) is required.
