Preventing Bot Spamming with Captcha

New to MS Bookings but the first thing I notice is there is nothing preventing a Bot spamming the system by creating bookings on the public pages. Are there any plans to integrate a Captcha or the like?

    This is absolutely needed! If not fixed the value of Bookings is quite low as it could then be used only as internal tool.
  • Any updates on this? I would like to use Bookings but limit bad actors from mass-booking available appointments.

    Are there options to force an email/sms validation prior to allow them to book slot?

    Is there an option to prevent bots from booking spots?

    Bookings can only be used internally or a link sent to "trusted sources" only without spam/fake post/bot mitigation.

    I am very surprised that there is no Captcha integration!
