Sitecore 9 Forms :  Alphanumeric Captcha As you know Recaptcha is not available on Sitecore 9.0.1 and Sitecore 9.0.2 forms, so I thought to create custom Google Recaptcha but my issue was Google Recaptcha was not working properly on Internet Explorer as it was asking 10 to 15 times to verify which is very frustrating, at the same time it was working for another browser so I thought to create custom Alphanumeric captcha as per client requirement. In previous blog, we have checked how to create Google reCaptcha field. Now we are going to create Alphanumeric Captcha using below steps: Create new viewmodel class AlphaNumericViewModel.cs [Serializable()]     public class AlphaNumericViewModel : StringInputViewModel     {         protected override void InitItemProperties(Item item)         {             base .InitItemProperties(item);         }     }   Create Controller AlphanumericCaptchaController.cs public class AlphanumericCaptchaController

Save contacts into List using Marketing automation and Forms   Marketing automation is a very powerful tool of Sitecore, it provides a facility to create an automated online campaign with a user-friendly drag and drop interface. You can use Marketing automation to add contacts into List from Sitecore 9 Forms instead to create new custom submit action. In this blog, we are going to trigger goal on form and using Marketing automation we are going to add contacts into list when the goal will be a trigger. Prerequisites Create one Goal let’s say “ FormGoalTrigger ” and deploy it. You can refer this link to create Goal. Go to List Manager and create “ Empty Contact List ” with name “ FormList ”. You can refer this list to create List. To save contacts into List, contact must be in xDB, this can be done to create custom submit action to update contact using First Name, Last Name ,and Email.
