Hi 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

Airtable 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, display Airtable lookup fields on forms, control access to a form via SSO or email domains, perform math or other live calculations on your forms, accept payments on forms, collect signatures on a form, create multi-page forms with conditional paths, create new linked records on a form, 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.

Hi 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 👍
