reCAPTCHA for eMarketeer Legacy Forms
How reCAPTCHA protects eMarketeer legacy forms from bot submissions and what the icon on hosted form pages means.
reCAPTCHA protects your legacy forms from bot submissions using Google's CAPTCHA system. New forms use an EU-hosted captcha instead.
Legacy forms published after April 25th, 2022 have reCAPTCHA protection. A grey and blue arrow icon at the bottom of hosted legacy form pages shows that reCAPTCHA is active.
reCAPTCHA icon
reCAPTCHA prevents bots from submitting fake answers to your forms, which would otherwise fill your reports with unwanted activity and create fake contacts in your account. It works for both eMarketeer-hosted forms and forms you embed on your own site. Follow the steps shown when you publish the form.
reCAPTCHA v3
Earlier versions of CAPTCHA asked visitors to identify objects in images or decipher hard-to-read text. reCAPTCHA v3 works differently: it analyzes how visitors interact with the page and uses that to classify each visitor as a person or a bot. Your form visitors are not interrupted when submitting.
For more detail, see Google's reCAPTCHA documentation.
Turning off reCAPTCHA
You can turn off Google reCAPTCHA for legacy forms with the Google reCAPTCHA for legacy forms switch under Account Settings > Integrations. New forms use an EU-hosted captcha.
