Joget DX 8 Stable Released
The stable release for Joget DX 8 is now available, with a focus on UX and Governance.
Invisible reCAPTCHA Form Element Plugin is used to protect forms developed in Joget DX from spams or abuse from malicious automated bots that are programmed to enter false or irrelevant information into a form, while being as transparent as possible to legitimate users of the platform.
About reCAPTCHA
You can follow the steps below, or refer to Manage Plugins to read more about managing plugins:
In the Form Builder, open up any Form that you wish to implement this feature for.
Search the Form Element Palette for the Invisible reCAPTCHA element under the Marketplace section.
Drag and drop this element into your Form.
Click on the element in your form and the Edit Invisible reCAPTCHA panel appears (on the right hand side).
In the Edit Invisible reCAPTCHA configuration, you are required to insert the information for the following fields:
Your ID can be any meaningful name you want (e.g.: invisible_recaptcha).
Generating important keys for the plugin will explain how to generate the required reCAPTCHA site key and reCAPTCHA secret key for this plugin.
You can follow the steps below, or refer to this related guide online:
Give your Label a meaningful name (e.g.: recaptcha_test)
For the reCAPTCHA Type, select reCAPTCHA v2 > Invisible reCAPTCHA badge
Under Domains, put the domain name that your Joget DX instance is hosted on.
Setting a domain name
If you are using Joget DX on a local computer for development purposes, you can put "localhost" as your domain name.
Copy the generated reCAPTCHA site keys and reCAPTCHA secret keys, and paste them into their respective fields in the Edit Invisible reCAPTCHA configuration.
Remember to click Apply Change and save the form.
Important reCAPTCHA keys
Try submitting the form where you added the Invisible reCAPTCHA plugin.
If the bottom right corner of your form shows the protected by reCAPTCHA, it means that the Invisible reCAPTCHA plugin is working as intended.
You can seek help from Errors of the plugin if the Invisible reCAPTCHA plugin is not working as intended.
There are two types of error that may occur when using the Invisible reCAPTCHA plugin:
reCAPTCHA widget error occurs when you may have chosen the v2 tickbox option instead of the v2 invisible option.
Remember to choose the v2 invisible option, so that the reCAPTCHA site key is enabled for the Invisible reCAPTCHA.
This is how a reCAPTCHA widget error looks like.
Because of this error, the "Form Submitted" message is not shown on the top left corner of the Form.
We will explain how Plugin validation error can occur by demonstrating how an error as such can be replicated.
To replicate Plugin validation error is very simple, you only have to provide an invalid reCAPTCHA secret key.
You can change a letter to a different letter or simply make up a reCAPTCHA secret key that does not exist.
For now, let's see what will happen if we do not add a Custom error text and we disable the Debug mode.
Edit Invisible reCAPTCHA: Other configurations
You can refer to Custom error text & Debug mode sections.
Tip: Hover on the tooltips (? icon) in Edit Invisible reCAPTCHA configuration to read what each configuration properties mean.
Following the configurations demonstrated, the Plugin validation error has been replicated:

Custom error text is designed to be shown to end-users when there is a plugin validation error.
Without using the Custom error text configuration property, the top left corner of your Form will only show "Validation Error" and a default error text of "reCAPTCHA error" when plugin validation error occurs
Enabling Debug mode allows error messages to be printed out for end-users to see.
