Enable Approval Workflow on Cloudinary

Shivam Kumar Verma

Team,

 

I am looking to enable approval/Rejection flow on the newly uploaded assets. Is there a specific configuration that needs to be enabled to make the feature functional. Currently the feature is disabled on my account (showing approve and Reject buttons greyed out).

 

Thanks in anticipation.

    Hi Shivam,

    You can upload images with moderation parameter and they will go in the moderation queue where you can go through each image and reject/ approve them. For more information: https://cloudinary.com/blog/image_moderation_made_easy_using_cloud_based_ui_and_api

    If you wish to move already uploaded assets to a moderation queue, you can use the explicit method of the upload API.

    Please note that we also have integration with third-party add-ons like WebPurify and Amazon rekognition which perform the moderation for you.

    I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

    Kind regards,
    Millie

    Hi Millie,

    All my newly uploaded images are going into the "Pending Approval" folder. On rejection, as default behavior system is deleting the images but when I click approve nothing happens. I want to move the image from "Pending Approval" folder to the "Approved Images" folder on approval. Can this be done?

    Hi again Shivam

    If you want to automate moving the image somewhere else after it's approved, you can use a webhooks notification to do that. If you specify a notification url for us to tell you about changes to your assets, we'll notify your URL when the moderation status changes also: https://cloudinary.com/documentation/notifications#global_notification_url

    When you receive the notification to your server side, the code which receives the notification can move the image to a new folder using the `rename` method of the Upload API: https://cloudinary.com/documentation/image_upload_api_reference#rename_method

    (moving and renaming are the same in our system, because the folder path is part of the public_id value used to store the image)

    Thanks,

    Stephen
