[Pro] Send Form Action - Feature Needs

Hi Fellow Freeway Users,

Does anyone have a method for accomplishing the two following feature needs we have when using the new Send Form Action. If softpress is reading, we would prefer that these features be folded into the action at some point in the future.

  1. Simple CAPTCHA option

  2. Form option to send response email

Kind Regards, Dave

Can you elaborate? Do you mean something like “What color is the sky? [ text field ]”. Or do you mean the squiggly letters that I personally find so annoying?

The best systems are invisible, like Tim’s “honeypot” feature in PHP Feedback Form. That just looks to see if a hidden field has been filled in, which automated systems will do, and human visitors won’t. If there is a value, the form content is dropped on the floor and the bot is sent to the Success page (so it doesn’t try again).

Hi Walt,

I like the “honeypot” idea as it does not require anything from the user. I agree the CAPTCHA fields can be quite annoying, in fact I find that reCAPTCHA it takes me several times to get a success. If we were to use CAPTCHA I prefer the rather simple letters and numbers that are presented in image form (Not squiggly). This is currently what we are using on our company sites.

Any solutions or thoughts regarding form option to send a response email?

Regards,
Dave

An easy way to do this would be to use a receiving account specifically set up for this with an Autoresponder.

Thank you Dave. . . I see where you are going with this. Not a bad suggestion. Need to see if our email provider has provision for us to use a templet email for an auto response.
