How does the Turnstile field work

ON THIS PAGE

The Turnstile field helps protect your forms from spam and automated submissions using Cloudflare’s privacy-friendly verification mechanism. This article explains where to find the Turnstile field in IvyForms and how to configure its available options.

 

You can use only one security field per form. After you add one security field (reCAPTCHA, Turnstile, or hCaptcha), the other security field options become disabled in the builder.

Where can I find the Turnstile field in IvyForms?

The Turnstile field is located in the Security fields section of the IvyForms builder. When you expand this category, you will see Turnstile listed as an option for protecting your form against automated submissions. Click it to add it to your form, then select it in the preview to configure its settings.

What settings can I configure for the Turnstile field?

Turnstile works through your global security settings. Because of this, the field itself has a minimal configuration panel inside the form builder, which you can access by clicking the field in the preview.

 

How do general settings work for the Turnstile field?

 

The General tab contains a single option related to styling. This allows you to apply custom CSS classes to the Turnstile field so it fits seamlessly into your form layout.

 

  • CSS classes – lets you add custom class names for styling the Turnstile field using your own CSS.

 

The Turnstile field does not include Advanced settings. All verification behavior is controlled through the global security configuration.

 

How can I use smart logic with the Turnstile field?

 

The Smart logic feature allows you to show or hide the Turnstile field based on conditions defined in your form. Although security fields are typically always visible, this option is available if you want to require additional verification only in specific scenarios.

 

After enabling smart logic, you can define how conditions are evaluated using the Conditional match option:

  • Any – the Turnstile field is shown if at least one condition is met.
  • All – the field is shown only when all conditions are satisfied.

 

This allows you to apply Turnstile verification selectively, such as only for specific user choices or sensitive submissions. In most use cases, however, Turnstile is added to every form to provide consistent spam protection.
