Discussion on: reCaptcha verification with EmailJS

To be honest, the captcha was made for sendForm method, since the captcha is usually part of the form. However, the send method can send any params, including the captcha token.
By the way, this is why the name of the parameter is so strange (g-recaptcha-response), this is the default name from reCAPCHA.

Ah is that right? I ended up using send as I wanted to show the reCaptcha after the form was submitted but before querying EmailJS.
Additionally, I wasn't able to find a guide to use reCaptcha with sendForm whereas I could find one for send emailjs.com/docs/rest-api/send/. Looking again at the docs and your comment I guess that you literally just put the reCaptcha inside the form element and EmailJS will get it out of e.target.

Yeah, you guess correctly.
