Stop Spam Without CAPTCHAs: Meet the Honeypot Bot Protector for Bubble
If you’ve built a Bubble app with any form — contact forms, signups, surveys, or checkouts — you already know the pain:
Junk leads filling your CRM.
Fake accounts inflating your user count.
Bots hammering your workflows and slowing your app.
The usual “solution” is Google reCAPTCHA… but that’s a tradeoff. You lose conversions, frustrate real users, and rely on Google’s ecosystem.
That’s why we built the Honeypot Bot Protector — a Bubble-native plugin that catches spam bots invisibly, without slowing down your users.
How It Works (Under the Hood)
This plugin doesn’t rely on external services. Instead, it uses a combination of proven anti-bot techniques, injected directly into your form flow:
- Invisible Honeypot Field
On page load, the plugin injects a hidden input field (default name: company_name).
Humans never see or fill it. Bots, which autofill every input they find, instantly reveal themselves.
If that field isn’t empty → result = bot.
- Speed Check
The plugin tracks how fast the form is submitted.
If it’s submitted in less than 2 seconds, it’s practically impossible that a human typed it.
Result = suspicious.
- Rate Limiter
The plugin keeps track of repeated submissions per user/session.
More than 3 in 30 seconds? That’s automated behavior.
Result = bot.
- Bubble Workflow Integration
Exposes states like last_check_result, attempt_count, and last_attempt_time.
Fires events (on_bot_detected, on_suspicious_activity, on_safe_submission) that you can hook into your workflows.
Example: stop the workflow + alert admin if a bot is caught, or proceed normally if safe.
When to Use It:
Public contact forms → Stop junk leads filling your inbox.
Signups & registrations → Prevent fake accounts before they pollute your DB.
Surveys / feedback → Ensure you only capture genuine human responses.
E-commerce checkout → Block automated stress tests or fake orders.
The Honeypot Bot Protector is dead-simple for Bubble devs:
Drag it onto your page.
Add a “Validate Submission” step in your workflow.
Done — your app now blocks spam bots invisibly.
Stop wasting time cleaning junk data.
Stop annoying users with CAPTCHAs.
Start protecting your Bubble app with a frictionless, developer-friendly solution.
