Rules
Updated over 10 months ago

Use rules to automate operations like banning tipline submitters and moving items to trash. Note that Rules aren’t used to automate tagging; learn more about automating tagging here.

Create a rule

To create a rule:

  1. Navigate to the Rules settings page.

  2. Click New rule.

  3. Name the rule.

  4. Add one or more conditions to trigger the rule.

If a rule has multiple conditions joined by an AND, all conditions must be met before the rule is triggered. If a rule has multiple conditions joined by an OR, at least one condition must be met before the rule is triggered.

Check offers many conditions. We’ve listed some here that may require additional explanation:

  • “Content contains one or more of the following keywords” refers to keywords in the claim.

  • “Extracted text contains keyword” identifies text extracted from media.

  • “Item has been detected as” identifies media flagged as containing a specific category of sensitive content.

  • “Item language is” refers to the language of an item’s fact-check.

  • “Item type is” refers to the type of media (photo, video, etc.) contained in an item.

Add one or more actions to be triggered by the rule.

Click Save.

Note that new rules do not apply retroactively; a rule will only apply to an existing item if a new edit causes the item to meet the rule’s conditions.

Delete or duplicate a rule

To delete or create a new rule from an existing rule:

  1. Navigate to the Rules settings page.

  2. Click on the relevant rule.

  3. In the top-right corner of the page, click More.

  4. Click Delete or Duplicate.
