Creative Moderation

How it works

A creative is a combination of subject line and message body. When you send a message via the API, LDM automatically creates and moderates a creative for you. Alternatively, you can pre-submit creatives for approval and reference them by ID when sending.

Moderation runs through three tiers:

• ●Tier 1 — Rules engine
  Automated checks for prohibited content, formatting, and compliance. Instant result.
• ●Tier 2 — AI review
  AI model evaluates tone, intent, and deliverability. Takes seconds.
• ●Tier 3 — Human review
  Edge cases escalated to a human reviewer. Takes up to 1 hour.

POST/v1/creatives

Submit a creative for moderation before sending.

Response

{
  "creative_id": "cr_9f2a...",
  "status": "pending",
  "submitted_at": "2026-04-16T08:50:00Z"

Moderation statuses

Once approved, you can reference the creative by its ID in the creative_id field when sending messages. Approved creatives can be reused unlimited times.

Pricing

Each creative submission costs $1.00. The charge applies when you submit the creative, regardless of whether it is approved or rejected. This covers the cost of multi-tier review.
