Detecting bot activity by email servers
Hey all, I have emails that get sent out to clients for them to commit a decision (accept / decline). The links go to an endpoint which reads an encrypted url parameter and commits the decision to a database, then serves a html page...
The problem: Some corporate emails use bots to determine whether or not the email is a security threat. Basically the bot is going to both the links and hitting the endpoints! Now an easy fix would be to add an extra step to the process and have clients click again once they reach to the page, but this is doubling the effort for users for the sake 1% of accounts that use a corporate emails with aggressive crawling.
Is there some sort of cloudflare product that I could use to confirm if the link clicked is by a human?
Any advice welcome
Cheers!
