Introduction

The content moderation sample utilizes the Sendbird Platform SDK to ban a user from a group channel if the message sent is considered to be toxic. The Perspective API analyzes message and returns a decimal score between 0 and 1 ranking how toxic the message is. A webhook is used Express and Ngrok to connect to the Sendbird server and receieve a request each time a message is sent in an applications group channel.
