IvyForms 0.8.1 takes a big step forward in speed, security, and usability. The release adds new templates to get forms up and running faster than ever. It also introduces Turnstile and hCaptcha spam protection to keep your forms safe without slowing down real users.
It’s all about giving you more control, more options, and fewer headaches. Whether you’re collecting requests, managing events, or running complex workflows, these updates make forms smarter and more reliable.
New Templates, Zero Setup Friction
Setting up forms just got faster. IvyForms 0.8.1 adds new templates that cover even more situations, from internal requests and equipment orders to weddings and conferences.
They’re ready to go right out of the box, but fully flexible if you need to tweak fields, reorder sections, or add custom details. And we’re not stopping here — more templates are on the way, giving you even more options to handle any workflow with ease.
Stop Spam Without Slowing Real Users
Keeping forms secure doesn’t have to get in the way of real users. With IvyForms, you now have two new ways to block spam while letting genuine submissions flow smoothly.
- Turnstile — a simple, modern checkbox or invisible widget that blends seamlessly into your form. To set it up, log into your Cloudflare account, create a Turnstile widget for your site, and enter the keys in IvyForms. You can set it to run quietly in the background or have users click it when needed.
- hCaptcha — a reliable verification widget that blends into your form. You can choose whether it runs invisibly in the background or is visible to users, and the setup is just as straightforward.
Moreover, you also still have reCAPTCHA as an option, giving you three ways to protect your forms. Keep in mind that each form can use only one type of spam protection at a time, so pick the one you prefer and keep your forms safe from bots.
What’s Coming Next
We’re just getting started. Soon, you’ll be able to add custom HTML for advanced content, along with interactive sliders and rating fields for richer feedback. You’ll also have full control over layouts and styles to match your exact vision.
And this is just the beginning. Even more powerful features are on the way, designed to give your forms new capabilities and make every submission smoother for your users. The possibilities are endless, and we can’t wait to show you what’s next.
