Setting Up Rules
Rules automate your moderation workflow by approving, rejecting, or deleting posts based on criteria you define. This saves time and keeps your feed clean without constant manual review.
Rules don't affect your source or control which posts are pulled into your feed. They're only used to moderate the content pulled on your feed.
Creating a Rule
Go to your Moderate section
Navigate to Rules
Click Add Rule
Configure the rule:
Name — Internal label for the rule
Feed — Which feed the rule applies to
Source — Choose specific sources or apply to all
Action — Select Approve, Reject, or Trash (permanent delete)
Click Save
Rule Types
Post Attribute — Filter by specific characteristics:
Text contains/doesn't contain keywords
Has image or video
Post's handles or the @username
Is a reply or repost
Profanity — Detects posts with obscene language.
Post Limit — Caps daily approvals per source.
We recommend setting your Feed to Needs Approval first, and choose the action Approve when using this Type. As this Type stops once the defined daily cap is reached.
Similar Posts — Finds posts with duplicate captions
Rule Matching
When creating post attribute rules, choose:
Match any — Trigger if one condition is met
Match all — Trigger only if every condition is met
Common Use Cases
Block spam — Reject posts containing "buy now," "click here," or promotional keywords
Auto-approve branded content — Approve posts from specific usernames or containing your hashtag
Remove profanity — Trash posts flagged for obscene language
Limit duplicates — Reject similar posts to keep your feed varied
Choosing Trash as the action will permanently delete the post from your Feed. The original post remains on the social platforms—Curator only deletes its copy.
