Updated over 3 weeks ago

What is reCAPTCHA?

reCAPTCHA is an anti-bot service provided by Google that analyzes user behavior patterns to determine whether a user is a human or a bot. reCAPTCHA can be used by Jicoo to prevent spam on booking and contact forms.

Version of reCAPTCHA

The version of reCAPTCHA that can be used with Jicoo is v3. reCAPTCHA v3 returns a score for each request without burdening the user. This score is calculated based on the actions taken on the site, so that appropriate action can be taken on the site.

Benefits of reCAPTCHA integration

The reCAPTCHA integration is a feature available for Jicoo Pro plans and above.

This feature offers the following advantages

  • Prevent bot attacks on booking and contact forms

  • Automatic filtering of spam bookings and unauthorized access

  • Customize the level of protection for your entire team or for individual booking pages and contact forms

Team Settings and Individual Page Settings

There are two setting levels for reCAPTCHA integration:

  1. Team-wide settings:

    • Default settings that apply to the entire team's booking pages and forms.
