Protect your forms from spam and bot submissions by integrating hCaptcha, a privacy-focused, drop-in captcha solution that verifies your form is being submitted by a real person. Bots and automated spam can quickly fill your inbox with junk submissions. This guide walks you through integrating hCaptcha into your form, so only real users get through.
hCaptcha integration is available on the Paid plan.

​
Setting Up hCaptcha

Follow these steps to add hCaptcha protection to your form.
1

Get Your hCaptcha Keys

Sign up for a free account at hcaptcha.com then create a new site to get your Site Key and Secret Key.
2

Enable hCaptcha in Your Form Settings

Go to your form’s Settings page, add hCaptcha Protection, and paste in your Secret Key. PipedForm will use this to verify submissions on the server side.
3

Add the hCaptcha Widget to Your Form

Add the hCaptcha script to the <head> section of your page:
Add the widget inside your form using your Site Key (replace your-site-key):
4

Test Your Form

Submit a test entry through your form. If the hCaptcha challenge isn’t completed, PipedForm will reject the submission.
For more advanced configuration options, such as customizing the widget’s size, theme, or language, refer to the official hCaptcha documentation.
Notes:
  • Both the Site Key (used in your form) and Secret Key (used in your form settings) are required for hCaptcha to work.
  • If hCaptcha is enabled but the widget is missing from your form, all submissions will be rejected.
