hey everyone,
I am trying to add reCaptcha validation to my Calendly account. I thought this is what this workflow was meant to do. But when I try to test the workflow, the reCaptcha validation fails. Is there a step I am missing? Should I add reCaptcha somewhere on Calendly? I can’t find how to do this though. Appreciate the assistance. Thank you very much.
It seems like you’re trying to integrate reCAPTCHA validation with your Calendly account using a Pipedream workflow. The error message “invalid-input-response” indicates that the response token sent for validation is either missing or invalid. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue: 1. Verify reCAPTCHA Integration: Ensure that you have correctly integrated reCAPTCHA on the frontend where the user interacts with your Calendly form. This involves adding the reCAPTCHA widget to your form and obtaining a valid response token when the user completes the reCAPTCHA challenge. 2. Check reCAPTCHA Keys: Make sure that you are using the correct site key and secret key for your reCAPTCHA integration. These keys are provided by Google when you set up reCAPTCHA for your site. 3. Pass the Response Token: Ensure that the response token generated by the reCAPTCHA widget is being correctly passed to your Pipedream workflow. This token is necessary for the server-side validation step. 4. Validate the Token: In your Pipedream workflow, ensure that the step responsible for validating the reCAPTCHA token is correctly configured. You should be using the token obtained from the frontend and sending it to Google’s reCAPTCHA API for validation. 5. Review Error Codes: The error code “invalid-input-response” suggests that the response parameter is invalid or malformed. Double-check that the token is being sent correctly and that there are no issues with the data format. 6. Calendly Integration: If you’re trying to directly integrate reCAPTCHA with Calendly, note that Calendly itself may not support direct reCAPTCHA integration. You might need to handle reCAPTCHA validation separately and only allow access to the Calendly scheduling page upon successful validation. If you’ve checked all these steps and the issue persists, you may want to reach out for further support. You can visit Pipedream Support for more assistance. If you have any additional questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask!
Thanks, from what I understand, Calendly doesn’t support direct reCAPTCHA integration. How should I then obtain the token from the frontend? Would you suggest validating the user before showing the Calendly widget? Because in that case I don’t actually “Validate reCAPTCHA Response on New Event Scheduled from Calendly”. I validate prior to scheduling. Or is there a better way?
To handle reCAPTCHA validation with Calendly, you can consider the following approach: 1. Validate Before Displaying the Widget: As you mentioned, you can validate the user using reCAPTCHA before displaying the Calendly widget. This ensures that only verified users can access the scheduling interface. This approach doesn’t directly validate the reCAPTCHA response on a new event scheduled from Calendly, but it adds a layer of security by preventing bots from accessing the widget in the first place. 2. Custom Frontend Logic: Implement custom frontend logic to handle reCAPTCHA validation. Once the user successfully completes the reCAPTCHA, you can then display the Calendly widget. This can be done by embedding the Calendly widget in your webpage and controlling its visibility based on the reCAPTCHA validation status. 3. Backend Validation: If you need to validate the reCAPTCHA response on the backend, you can send the reCAPTCHA token to your server for verification. Once verified, you can proceed with any server-side logic you need, such as logging the event or sending a confirmation email. 4. Webhook Validation: If you’re using Calendly webhooks to receive event data, you can implement additional validation on your server to ensure that the webhook requests are legitimate. This can include validating the request signature or using other authentication methods. Overall, the best approach depends on your specific requirements and the level of security you need. Validating users before they access the Calendly widget is a common practice to prevent unauthorized access.
