Domain filter

The domain filter is designed to detect anything that is seemingly inappropriate in user-submitted messages, images, and more. It allows you to filter out certain domains contained in text and file messages as well as users’ profile images according to your policies and criteria.

HTTP request

// To apply the settings application-wide.
PUT https://api-{application_id}.sendbird.com/v3/applications/settings_global

// To apply the filter to channels with a custom channel type.
PUT https://api-{application_id}.sendbird.com/v3/applications/settings_by_channel_custom_type/{custom_type}

Request body

The following table lists the properties of an HTTP request that this action supports.

Optional

Property name	Type	Description
domain_filter	nested object	Specifies a domain filter configuration to filter out text and file messages that contain an URL matching the domain set. This property also filters out a user's profile image URL if it matches the domain set.
domain_filter.domains[]	array of objects	Specifies an array of domains to detect. Each item of the array is specified with a combination of domain name and TLD (Top Level Domain) such as `amazon.com`. * Domain moderation applies only to the `message` property of a text or file message resource, not the `data` property or the `metaArrays` property.
domain_filter.type	int	Determines which filtering mode to apply to messages that contain URLs matching any of the domain set. Acceptable values are the following: - 0 (none): takes no action on matching messages. This is the default value. - 1 (allow): only allows messages containing URLs that match the domains property. - 2 (block): blocks messages containing URLs that match the domains property. - 3 (replace): detects and replaces URLs that match the `domains` property with asterisks.
domain_filter.should_check_global	boolean	Determines whether to apply the domain filter of the application settings to messages in addition to `domain_filter` of the custom channel type. The default value of the property in the global settings is false. (Default: false)
