Review Queue

Overview

The Review Queue is the central hub for moderators. It contains content flagged by automated moderation engines or reported by users. Moderators review items in the queue and take actions such as approve, delete, and ban. submit_action is how you apply a decision to an item; see Actions.

In the dashboard, the Inbox tab shows items waiting for review and the Reviewed tab shows items a moderator has already acted on.

Query Review Queue

Use this endpoint to retrieve items from the review queue. It supports filtering by content type, review status, moderation category, and more. You can also sort results, paginate through them, and lock items to prevent multiple moderators from reviewing the same item simultaneously.

POST /api/v2/moderation/review_queue

filter is a map. Built-in keys:

id, created_at, updated_at, reviewed_at, completed_at, archived_at, escalated_at, date_range, type, status, entity_type, entity_id, entity_creator_id, entity_creator_name, content_text, queue_type, language, teams, latest_moderator_action, user_report_reason, recommended_action, reviewed, appeal, appeal_status, appeal_id, flagged_user_id, has_image, has_video, has_text, has_audio, flags_count, severity, confidence_score, bounce_count, category, label, reporter_type, reporter_id, config_key, ai_text_severity, channel_cid, channel_id, escalated, escalated_by, escalation_priority, escalation_reason

Any other key is matched against moderation_payload.custom. filter_config.filterable_custom_keys lists the custom keys the app exposes as chips.

content_text is special: $q is a keyword search (terms ANDed, no adjacency). $eq and $in match the text exactly and are unindexed, so scope them with date_range.

Sort is allowed on created_at only. The response field is items. Pass next back to load the following page.

To review only flagged content and skip items the engines already removed, filter on recommended_action:

const response = await client.moderation.queryReviewQueue({
  filter: { recommended_action: "flag", reviewed: false },
  sort: [{ field: "created_at", direction: -1 }],
});

In the dashboard, set the Action filter to flag and bookmark the URL.

response = client.moderation.query_review_queue(
  GetStream::Generated::Models::QueryReviewQueueRequest.new(
    filter: { "entity_type" => "stream:chat:v1:message", "reviewed" => false },
    sort: [GetStream::Generated::Models::SortParam.new(field: "created_at", direction: -1)],
    limit: 20
  )
)
