+3Hi Community, I’m wondering whether there is a need to add a Recaptcha to my forms that collect data from my website to my Airtable. I have form validation logic set up and the fields in the table accept a certain type of data only. Most of my forms use dropdowns except where a user is filling in their name etc. My frontend is built with Vue 3 and there is a package for recaptacha but then I will also need a backend to handle the secret key.
Any advice would be great.
Thanks,
Sue
+35Airtable doesn’t offer CAPTCHAs on their forms, but you can get this feature with Fillout’s advanced forms for Airtable.
Fillout is 100% free, and it offers hundreds of features that Airtable’s native forms don’t offer, including the ability to add CAPTCHAs to your form, update Airtable records using a form, create custom PDF files from a form submission, accept payments on forms, display Airtable lookup fields on forms, create new linked records on a form, control access to a form via SSO or email domains or a list of email addresses stored in Airtable, perform math or other live calculations on your forms, collect signatures on a form, create multi-page forms with conditional paths, connect a single form to dozens of external apps simultaneously, and much more.
I show how to use a few of the advanced features of Fillout on these 2 Airtable podcast episodes:

Hi ScottWorld, Thanks for replying but I have no issues creating a form, the form is on the website and sends data to my Airtable base, all working as it should. It’s not an embedded form.
I guess my question is not clear enough or my explanation isn’t but the question is around the need for reCaptcha not on how to create a form with reCaptcha that uses a third-party form. I don’t need a third-party form or an embedded Airtable form.

Only you can decide if you need a CAPTCHA or not. If you’re getting spam, then the answer is probably yes.

Ok, thanks, ScottWorld. I don’t have that answer yet, I guess I will have to wait to see.
+15Hi there!
As Scott mentioned, at miniExtensions, we've created a third-party form that integrates seamlessly with Airtable and allows you to add extra security with CAPTCHA and even set a password for an added layer of protection.
I'm sure this will help! Feel free to try out all these features with a free account at miniExtensions 👍
