1.1 Workflow description

Title
Detect and enforce abuse cases with OpenAI, Slack, Gmail and Sheets
Workflow name
Detect and enforce abuse cases with OpenAI, Slack, Gmail and Sheets

How It Works

This workflow automates platform trust and safety operations by deploying a multi-agent AI system that detects abuse signals, investigates behaviour, scores risk, checks policy compliance, and enforces actions automatically. Designed for platform safety teams, content moderation managers, and compliance officers, it eliminates manual triage delays and ensures high-severity violations are actioned immediately. An abuse signal webhook triggers behaviour analysis via OpenAI, classifying signals by severity. A routing node directs cases to a Governance Agent, which orchestrates Investigation, Risk Scoring, and Policy Compliance Checker sub-agents. Enforcement data is prepared, then routed by action type-logging to abuse records, alerting the security team via Slack, sending escalation emails, or triggering auto-enforcement actions based on threshold checks—before all outcomes are logged.

Setup Steps

  1. Configure Abuse Signal Webhook URL and authenticate incoming POST requests.
  2. Add OpenAI API credentials to all OpenAI Model nodes.
  3. Connect Google Sheets for abuse records and enforcement action logging.
  4. Configure Slack credentials and set security team alert channel.
  5. Add Gmail/SMTP credentials to Send Escalation Email node.

Prerequisites

  • Slack workspace with bot token
  • Gmail or SMTP credentials
  • Google Sheets for abuse and enforcement logging

Use Cases

  • Real-time abuse detection and auto-suspension on social platforms

Customization

  • Replace OpenAI with Anthropic Claude or NVIDIA NIM models

Benefits

  • Eliminates manual abuse triage with real-time AI signal processing

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/13700/13700.json as the source template for this automation.

  2. 2. Import the template into n8n

    Open n8n, import the downloaded JSON, and review each node before activating the workflow.

  3. 3. Configure credentials and variables

    Replace placeholder credentials, API keys, webhook URLs, account IDs, and environment-specific values with your own settings.

  4. 4. Test with sample data

    Run the workflow manually or in a staging workspace, inspect node output, and confirm downstream systems receive the expected data.

  5. 5. Activate and monitor

    Enable the workflow only after testing, then monitor executions, errors, and rate limits during the first production runs.

5. General Notes & Resources

Review imported nodes carefully before activation. This catalog entry is intended to help you inspect the workflow structure, understand required services, and find related templates faster.

Node names, credentials, schedules, webhook paths, and external service limits may need adjustment for your workspace.
