Google's reCAPTCHA (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart) tests protect your poll embeds from fraudulent votes. reCAPTCHA v3 does this mostly invisibly in the background without interrupting your audience's user experience.

To set it up, someone at your organization will first need to sign up for a reCAPTCHA account with Google. You or they can sign up for a reCAPTCHA account with Google here.

When you're signing up, select reCAPTCHA v3 as the version to use and fill in all of your domain names where you will be hosting your poll embeds. In addition to adding your organization's domain(s), add wearehearken.com. This will allow reCAPTCHA to function when you link directly to the poll. Accept Google's terms of service and click Register to complete the process.

You will receive two keys from reCAPTCHA and need both of them to integrate it with your EMS. Once you have them, navigate to your EMS Platform settings:

And put your keys in the Google reCAPTCHA section:

That's it! Your embeds will now use reCAPTCHA v3 to guard against bots.
