Understanding the Rule Types
In this article, we'll walk you through the different rule types available in the app and how each one works. Knowing the right rule to use helps you set up smarter post moderation and keep things running seamless.
Post Attribute
This rule type detects specific details from each pulled post. These attributes help you filter and act on posts more precisely based on their content or media. Here are the available attributes you can use:
- Text: Detects specific text in a pulled post’s caption.
- Has Image: Identifies if a pulled post contains an image.
- Has Video: Identifies if a pulled post contains a video.
- Username: Detects the post's handles or the @username within the pulled posts.
- Post Full Name: Captures the full name of the user (if available) in pulled posts.
- Is Reply: Detects reply-type posts (mainly for Twitter).
- Is Repost: Detects retweets or reposts.
- Profanity: Flags posts containing sensitive or obscene language.
You can also decide if the rule should trigger when any attribute is met, OR only when all attributes matched.
- Any Rules: If a post matches any of the attributes entered, the rule takes effect (approved or rejected - according to your selected action).
- All Rules: The post must match all the attributes for the rule to apply (approved or rejected - according to your selected action).
Profanity
This rule type automatically flags posts that contain offensive, or obscene language. This is especially useful for keeping your Feed clean and filter out sensitive post that may violate your company or brand guidelines.
Post Limit
This rule type helps you control how many posts get approved per day. It automatically approves posts until the defined daily limit is reached—after that, it simply stops approving additional posts.
Important: We recommend setting your Feed to Needs Approval. As this rule doesn't reject posts—it just stops auto-approving once the defined daily cap is reached.
Similar Posts
This rule type detects posts with similar caption. This helps you catch duplicates—useful for flagging spam, repeated content, or posts that are similar across different Sources.
