Adding a Captcha survey 123

[SamuelRoss]

Is there a way to add a Captcha or a Captcha like thing to a user created survey in survey123? Thanks

Hi Samuel

This functionality is not supported in the web form, but we will add this as a potential future enhancement.

Thanks

Also could you share your use case? It would be good get an understanding of what you are wanting to do. There may be other options.

Thanks

Has this been enabled? We're interested in having a Survey123 form as part of a public-facing website, and the previous website's crowdsourcing efforts resulted in a lot of bot junk.

Hi Kellee,

We are still examining this.  In your previous experiences, were you able to tell if the bot junk was coming via the form page or from direct submissions to the form's submission endpoint (in ArcGIS terms, the feature layer's Service URL)?

I wasn't involved in the previous website, but received this info from a colleague: 

"I think that most of the spam was coming from the 'contact us' form (which does not require sign-in). We were also getting spam submissions for PADDD events, which does require log in."

The Survey123 form would be for reporting these events.

Hi Kellee,

Thanks for providing the information.  It seems strange that the from that required a login was also getting spam.  It seems possible that while the web page a person used to fill in the form was password protected, the submission endpoint (web page/resource that received the form's data) was not.  CAPTCHA would not necessarily helped if this was the case - it's concerned with checking for the page that people use to fill out the form.

Any updates on a Captcha type feature for public facing web forms?

Is there any update on Captcha in Survey123??
