"content": "# AI-Driven Discord Moderation with Google Sheets Learning & Admin Insights\n\n## How it works:\n\nThis workflow monitors your Discord channel every 3 minutes and uses AI to detect rule-breaking messages. It learns from examples in a Google Sheet to understand what should be deleted (spam, harassment, toxic behavior) vs what's okay (even if it includes profanity in a positive context). Flagged messages are auto-deleted and logged to an admin channel.\n\n## Setup steps\n1. **Copy the training sheet**: [Make a copy of this Google Sheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xodthGg8RpQJB62mB6fziuwblG9nn3udZvQvyRquCXM/edit?usp=sharing)\n2. **Add your examples**: Fill in message_content, should_delete (YES/NO), and reason columns\n3. **Set Discord IDs**: Edit the \"Edit Fields\" node with your server ID, monitored channel ID, and admin channel ID\n4. **Connect credentials**: Link Discord OAuth2, Google Sheets, and OpenAI API\n5. **Customize the AI prompt**: Adjust the system message in \"AI Agent\" to match your community rules\n6. **Test**: Run manually first, check admin channel for logs\n\nThe AI understands context and intent, not just keywords."
