Detect risky posts and alert your team for review
To set up Community Post Moderation in GHL, start with a new workflow. Add the Group Post Created trigger to track new posts. Use AI Intent Detection to check each post for risks. Then add an internal alert to warn your team when a post may need review.
When I look at this setup, one thing stands out. The rules you give the AI are key. If the rules are too broad, safe posts may get flagged. Clear rules help your team focus on posts that may cause harm.
A group with 100 members can be hard to watch as more people post each day. You can’t check every post all the time. This workflow uses three main tools to help your team keep track of new posts.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to pick a group, set rules, and send alerts. By the end, you’ll have a simple way to spot risky posts, alert your team, and review content before you act.

What’s New in Community Post Moderation
You can now use GHL workflows to check new group posts and alert your team when a post may need review. This gives you a simple way to handle Community Post Moderation without having to watch your group all day.
You only need three workflow tools to set it up.
- Group Post Created Trigger. Starts the workflow each time someone adds a new post to your chosen group.
- AI Intent Detection. Checks each post based on the rules you set. It then sorts the result as Positive, Negative, or None.
- Send Internal Notification. Sends an alert to your team when a post follows the Negative path and needs a closer look.
The goal isn’t to let AI make every choice for you. It’s to help your team find posts that may pose a risk. With this Community Post Moderation setup, you can spend less time checking posts by hand and more time on those that need your attention. Your team still makes the final call.
What’s Changed in Community Post Moderation
You no longer need to check each new GHL group post by hand. As your group grows, it’s easy to miss posts that may cause harm. With Community Post Moderation, you can set up a workflow to check new posts and alert your team when needed.
Here’s how it works.
- New posts start the workflow. When someone adds a post to your chosen group, GHL starts the process.
- AI checks each post. It uses the rules you set to sort posts as Positive, Negative, or None.
- Flagged posts send alerts. If a post takes the Negative path, GHL sends an alert to the team members you choose.
- Other posts need no next step. In this setup, the Positive and None paths end with no alert.
The big change is how you find posts that need a closer look. Instead of going through each post, your team gets an alert when the AI flags a risk. This saves time and helps you review posts sooner. You still have full control over what happens next.
Why Community Post Moderation Matters
When you run a GHL group, you want it to be a safe place for your members. But as your group grows, it gets harder to keep track of new posts. Spam, scams, and rude comments can go unseen when you’re busy. That’s where Community Post Moderation can help.
Here’s why this setup is worth your time.
- Save time on post checks. You won’t need to scan each new post by hand to find one that may pose a risk.
- Spot issues sooner. AI checks new posts based on your rules and flags those that may need a closer look.
- Keep your team informed. GHL sends an alert to the team members you choose when a post gets flagged.
- Stay on top of client groups. If you run groups for clients, you can use this same setup in each GHL account.
The point of Community Post Moderation isn’t to let AI run your group. It’s to help you spot posts that need your time. AI can make mistakes, so your team should still check each flagged post. You stay in charge of what happens next.

Pro Tips for Better Community Post Moderation
Once your workflow is live, check how well it works. Good Community Post Moderation starts with clear AI rules. If your rules are too broad, you may get alerts for posts that pose no risk. A few simple checks can help you get better results.
Here are some tips to help you keep things on track.
- Set clear AI rules. Tell the AI to look for spam, scams, threats, or rude posts. Be clear about what counts as a risk.
- Test different posts. Try both safe and risky posts to see how the AI sorts them. Check if each post takes the right path.
- Pick the right team members. Send alerts to people who can check posts and take action. You don’t need to alert the whole team.
- Check for false alerts. If safe posts get flagged, change your AI rules and test them again.
- Review each flagged post. AI can get things wrong. Read the full post before you choose what to do next.
The key is to keep your Community Post Moderation setup simple and useful. Check your results from time to time and update your rules as your group grows. This helps your team focus on posts that need care, not every post that comes in.
