Set up human review workflows with webhook notifications for moderation decisions.

🔑

Tokens

Generate and manage API tokens for authenticating your application's requests.

⚙️

Settings

Manage project settings, billing information, and account preferences.

🚶Step-by-Step Walkthrough

1

Configure Categories

Start by selecting which types of harmful content you want to detect. Categories are displayed as cards with toggle switches for easy enable/disable functionality.

Available Categories Include:

Sexual Content
Violence & Aggression
Hate Speech
Harassment
Self-Harm & Suicide
And 15+ more...

💡 Pro Tip

Each category shows supported content types (text/image) and provides detailed descriptions to help you make informed decisions about what to enable.

2

Create Schemas

Define the structure of content you'll be moderating. Schemas act as templates that validate your API requests and ensure consistent data formatting.

Schema Builder Features:

  • Visual component editor - Add text and image components with drag-and-drop
  • Component validation - Ensure field names and types are correctly configured
  • Real-time preview - See how your schema will look in API requests
  • Schema management - Edit, duplicate, or delete existing schemas

⚠️ Important

Schema changes affect your API integration. Test thoroughly before deploying schema updates to production environments.

3

Configure Automated Moderation

Set up AI-powered content analysis with customizable confidence thresholds. The system provides instant moderation decisions based on your configured sensitivity levels.

Confidence Threshold Settings:

0-49%

More lenient - catches obvious violations

Lenient
50-80%

Balanced - good precision and recall

Balanced
81-100%

Strict - high confidence required

Strict

🎯 Best Practice

Start with a balanced threshold (60-70%) and adjust based on your content patterns and false positive rates. Monitor performance through the analytics dashboard.

4

Set Up Manual Moderation

Configure human review workflows for content that requires nuanced decision-making. Set up webhook notifications to receive real-time updates when moderation decisions are complete.

Webhook Configuration:

  • Webhook URL - Endpoint to receive moderation decision notifications
  • Secret verification - Secure webhook payload validation
  • Test functionality - Verify webhook connectivity before going live

🔗 Integration

Manual moderation works seamlessly with automated moderation. Use both together for comprehensive content review workflows.

5

Generate API Tokens

Create and manage API tokens for authenticating your application's requests. Each token can be named and revoked independently for security management.

Token Management Features:

  • Named tokens - Organize tokens by environment or application
  • Instant revocation - Immediately disable compromised tokens

🔒 Security

Store tokens securely in environment variables. Never commit tokens to version control or expose them in client-side code.

💡Console Tips & Best Practices

🎯Start Small, Scale Up

Begin with a few essential categories and a balanced confidence threshold. Monitor performance and gradually expand your configuration based on real usage patterns.

🔄Test Before Production

Use separate projects for development and production environments. Test schema changes, webhook configurations, and threshold adjustments thoroughly before deploying.

📊Monitor Performance

Regularly review your moderation results and adjust thresholds based on false positive rates. Use both automated and manual moderation for optimal coverage.

🔐Security First

Rotate API tokens regularly, use descriptive names for easy management, and immediately revoke any tokens that may have been compromised.
