Understanding reCAPTCHA Types

There are several types of reCAPTCHA, including invisible, v2, and v3. Invisible reCAPTCHA runs in the background and only triggers challenges when necessary, while v2 and v3 always show challenges to the user.

To implement reCAPTCHA with challenges in SFMC Cloud Pages, you can follow these steps:

Implementing reCAPTCHA with Challenges

First, you need to create a reCAPTCHA API key pair in the Google Cloud Console. Then, you can add the reCAPTCHA script to your Cloud Page and configure it to use the API key pair.

recaptcha.html

<script src='https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js'></script>
<div class="g-recaptcha" data-sitekey="YOUR_SITE_KEY"></div>

Next, you need to validate the user’s response on the server-side using the reCAPTCHA API.

The root cause of the issue is the use of reCAPTCHA invisible, which only triggers challenges when necessary. To always show challenges, you need to switch to a different reCAPTCHA type.

Finally, you can test your implementation by visiting the Cloud Page in incognito mode, which will trigger the reCAPTCHA challenge.

Testing and Troubleshooting

To test your implementation, you can visit the Cloud Page in incognito mode and verify that the reCAPTCHA challenge is triggered. If you encounter any issues, you can check the reCAPTCHA API documentation for troubleshooting guides.

Heads up: Make sure to replace YOUR_SITE_KEY with your actual reCAPTCHA site key.

Checklist for Implementing reCAPTCHA with Challenges

• Create a reCAPTCHA API key pair in the Google Cloud Console
• Add the reCAPTCHA script to your Cloud Page
• Configure the reCAPTCHA script to use the API key pair
• Validate the user’s response on the server-side using the reCAPTCHA API
• Test your implementation in incognito mode
• Troubleshoot any issues using the reCAPTCHA API documentation

What is reCAPTCHA invisible?

reCAPTCHA invisible is a type of reCAPTCHA that runs in the background and only triggers challenges when Google’s algorithms suspect non-human activity.

Can I use reCAPTCHA v2 with SFMC Cloud Pages?

Yes, you can use reCAPTCHA v2 with SFMC Cloud Pages by adding the reCAPTCHA script to your page and configuring it to use the API key pair.

How do I test my reCAPTCHA implementation?

You can test your reCAPTCHA implementation by visiting the Cloud Page in incognito mode and verifying that the reCAPTCHA challenge is triggered.

What if I encounter issues with my reCAPTCHA implementation?

If you encounter any issues with your reCAPTCHA implementation, you can check the reCAPTCHA API documentation for troubleshooting guides.
