In this article, I will illustrate how the blocklist management feature, provided by the Azure AI Content Safety service, can be used to retrieve blocklist items associated with a blocklist within Optimizely CMS.
The purpose of blocklist items is to supplement a blocklist that aids in detecting specific text content that may be deemed harmful or unnecessary.
Creating new Blocklist items can be achieved using a custom Add-On included in the NuGet Package “Patel.AzureAIContentSafety.Optimizely”. This Add-On can be obtained from the Optimizely NuGet Feed or at the NuGet Feed. The screenshot above shows this section within the Custom Add-On.
Blocklist items can also be added by using the Azure AI Content Safety Studio. However, it is necessary to create an Azure AI Content Safety resource as a prerequisite before applying this method.
The following screenshot below illustrates the code utilised to fetch the blocklist items from the Azure AI Content Safety API.
As shown in the screenshot above, The blocklist “Knight Frank” is selected from the dropdown menu. When this option is chosen and the button is clicked, the API will be activated to get the blocklist items for the chosen blocklist.
