Automated Cloudinary Moderation Queue Checks

Every hour, WebRun opens Cloudinary, reads the assets sitting in the moderation queue, notes each one's folder, upload time, and how long it has waited, posts them to Microsoft Teams with a preview link and a suggested approve or reject, and pings Telegram when the queue or the oldest wait crosses your limit.

In short

How do I clear the Cloudinary moderation queue quickly?

WebRun checks the Cloudinary moderation queue every hour and lists the uploads still pending with their folder and how long they have waited. It posts each one to Microsoft Teams with a preview and a suggested approve or reject, and pings Telegram when the backlog grows, so a person decides fast.

  • A user upload waits an hour at most before someone sees it
  • Every pending item arrives with a preview and a suggested decision
  • You are pinged only when the queue crosses the depth you set

Step by step

What does WebRun do on every run?

The exact actions WebRun takes, in order - in plain language, so you can adjust anything.

  1. WebRun signs in and gets to work

    Opens console.cloudinary.com in a real browser with your saved login - no setup, no API keys.

  2. 1
    Cloudinary - read the pending queue
    cloudinary.com
    WebRun in Cloudinary: read the pending queue
    WebRun opens Cloudinary to read the pending queue.
    • Open Cloudinary and list every asset whose moderation status is still pending
    • Record the folder, the upload time, and how long each item has been waiting
    • Note the file type and size, and whether the upload came from a folder you treat as higher risk
    • Read the moderation result already recorded against each asset where one exists

    Done when Every pending upload is listed with its folder, upload time, and waiting time.

  3. 2
    Microsoft Teams - post each item for a decision
    microsoft.com
    WebRun in Microsoft Teams: post each item for a decision
    WebRun opens Microsoft Teams to post each item for a decision.
    • Post each pending item to your moderation channel with a preview link and its details
    • Add a suggested approve or reject with the reason behind it
    • Put the longest waiting item first so nothing ages out of view
    • Leave the decision to a person. WebRun never approves or rejects an asset itself

    Done when Every pending upload is in the moderation channel with a preview and a recommendation.

  4. 3
    Telegram - ping when the queue backs up
    telegram.org
    WebRun in Telegram: ping when the queue backs up
    WebRun opens Telegram to ping when the queue backs up.
    • Send a one line count of items pending and the age of the oldest
    • Ping only when the queue depth or the oldest wait crosses the limit you set
    • Say which folder the backlog is coming from so the cause is obvious

    Done when You are pinged only when the moderation queue needs attention now.

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it approve or reject uploads on its own?

No. WebRun reads the queue and recommends a decision, but a person always clicks approve or reject in Cloudinary. Nothing is published or deleted by the automation.

How often does it check?

Every hour, so an upload waits at most an hour before it appears in your moderation channel with a preview and a suggested decision.

Will it spam the channel when the queue is empty?

No. An empty queue produces no Teams post and no Telegram ping. You only hear from it when there is something pending.

Put this on autopilot.
