reCAPTCHA & hCaptcha

Understanding Bot Protection

Bot protection is a security feature you can integrate into your Kickoff Forms, Update Forms, and General Forms to defend against automated attacks and unwanted submissions.

The user experience is straightforward—visitors simply click a checkbox to verify they’re human. You can add this protection through an Advanced Block when designing your forms.

Note: These options only display in Form Advanced Blocks after you’ve set up a Custom URL and linked your chosen verification service via Flyout > Integrations.
