Enable reCAPTCHA to protect against bot activity from spamming the gated Welcome Message modules that you've added to your website.

Please Note: This can only be enabled for welcome messages that are gated to require an email address to access the coupon code.

When enabled, your users will simply check the "I'm not a robot" box after entering their email, and our system will detect if it is a human interaction or bot.

Not a Robot captcha

If the interaction does not pass verification, our server will block the request, display an error message, and prevent undesired signups and activity.

Is a reCAPTCHA enough for stopping malicious bots?

Please note: Researchers have demonstrated that attackers can use click farms to beat this verification with thousands of low-paid workers solving CAPTCHAs on behalf of bots. Please consider your complete program journey to identify other areas you can implement protocols for bot activity.
