FormsList integrates with Google reCAPTCHA to block spam submissions while keeping the experience smooth for real users. reCAPTCHA uses advanced risk analysis and adaptive challenges to distinguish humans from bots, ensuring only legitimate submissions reach your inbox. FormsList supports reCAPTCHA v2 (checkbox and invisible) and reCAPTCHA v3 (score-based, no user interaction). With v3, most users won't see any challenge at all: reCAPTCHA silently scores the submission in the background, and FormsList rejects anything that looks like a bot. Enabling reCAPTCHA on FormsList is simple. Add your reCAPTCHA site key to your form's frontend, include the reCAPTCHA token in your submission, and configure your secret key in the FormsList dashboard. FormsList validates the token server-side and rejects submissions that fail verification.

Visit the Google reCAPTCHA admin console (g.co/recaptcha) and register your site. Choose v2 or v3 and copy your site key and secret key.
Add the reCAPTCHA script and widget to your form's HTML or use a framework-specific reCAPTCHA component. The token will be included automatically in form submissions.
In the FormsList dashboard, go to your form's Spam Protection settings. Enable reCAPTCHA and enter your secret key. FormsList will validate tokens server-side.
reCAPTCHA v3 is recommended for most forms because it works invisibly: users never see a challenge. Use reCAPTCHA v2 if you prefer an explicit checkbox or image challenge as an extra layer of trust verification.
Google reCAPTCHA is free for up to 1 million assessments per month, which is more than enough for most websites. The FormsList reCAPTCHA integration is available on all plans including Free.
