Report a message, user, or channel

Users can report suspicious or harassing messages and other users who use abusive language in a channel. They can also report the channel itself if there is any inappropriate content or activity in the channel. Based on this functionality and our report API, you can build your own in-app system for managing objectionable content and subject.

To use report API, you can use getReportCategoryInfoList API to retrieve the list of available report categories. Once the category list is fetched, allow the user to select one of the categories. The selected category can be included as a parameter when invoking report API.

JavaScriptTypeScript

const reportCategoryInfoList = await sb.getReportCategoryInfoList();
// Display Report Category List

const reportCategoryInfo = reportCategoryInfoList[0];

// Report a Message
await channel.reportMessage(message, reportCategoryInfo, description);

// Report a User
await channel.reportUser(offendingUser, reportCategoryInfo, description);

// Report a Channel
await channel.report(reportCategoryInfo, description);

List of arguments
