What it does

Spam form submissions waste your time and can pollute your data. This add-on connects Google reCAPTCHA v3 to your Gravity Forms so bots are filtered out automatically, without asking real users to solve puzzles or tick checkboxes.

When someone submits a form, reCAPTCHA v3 scores the interaction between 0.0 (likely a bot) and 1.0 (likely human). You set the threshold, and any submission that falls below it is marked as spam. The score is also saved with each entry so you can review flagged submissions later.

This add-on is included with every Gravity Forms license at no extra charge. Google reCAPTCHA itself is a free service, so you just need to sign up, generate your API keys, and connect them to the add-on.
