To implement reCAPTCHA before redirecting users to a different page in Webflow and also prevent form submission on click before completing the reCAPTCHA verification, you can follow these steps:

  1. Sign up for reCAPTCHA: Go to the reCAPTCHA website (https://www.google.com/recaptcha), sign in with your Google account, and register your website to get the required API keys.

  2. Add the reCAPTCHA script to your Webflow project: In your Webflow project, navigate to the project settings and click on the Custom Code tab. Paste the provided reCAPTCHA script (usually available in the reCAPTCHA admin panel) in the Footer Code section and save your changes.

  3. Create your form: Design and style your form as per your requirements using Webflow's built-in Form Block or third-party form plugins.

  4. Add reCAPTCHA to your form: In the Webflow Designer, go to the Form Block settings panel and add a new field of type "Captcha". This will automatically add the reCAPTCHA challenge to your form.

  5. Set up form submission actions: While in the Form Block settings panel, set the desired form submission actions. This could include sending a notification email, saving form data to a CMS collection, or triggering a custom Webflow interaction.

  6. Create an additional submission event for reCAPTCHA verification: Inside the Form Block settings panel, scroll down to the "Submit Button" section. Click on the "+" icon next to "Additional actions on form submit" and select "Redirect to page".

  7. Configure the reCAPTCHA verification code: To prevent form submission before completing the reCAPTCHA verification, you need to add some custom code. In the additional action settings you just created, select "Run JavaScript" as the action type. Then, click on "Add Function" and choose "Custom Code". In the code snippet, you will need to write JavaScript code that checks if the user has passed the reCAPTCHA verification using the reCAPTCHA API. If the verification is successful, you can redirect the user to the desired page using window.location.href.

  8. Test and refine: Publish your website and test the form to ensure that the reCAPTCHA verification works as expected and prevents form submission before being completed.

By following these steps, you can successfully implement reCAPTCHA before redirecting users to a different page in Webflow and prevent form submission on click until the reCAPTCHA verification is completed.
