Implementing a Simple Honeypot in Dynamics 365 Customer Insights – Journeys Real-time Marketing Forms

The article discusses a method to reduce bot submissions on Dynamics 365 Customer Insights - Journeys Real-time Marketing Forms using a honeypot technique. It describes adding an unbound field named 'hp_check' that is hidden from users through CSS, making it detectable by bots. The field remains empty when genuine users submit forms, but if filled, it indicates bot activity, triggering an event to prevent form submission. The process involves using client-side extensibility events like 'd365mkt-afterformload' and 'd365mkt-formsubmit' to manage the honeypot's functionality. Testing reveals the implementation effectively cancels bot-originated submissions, providing a simple yet effective spam filter, with suggestions for further security enhancements through server-side validation.
