# Workspace settings

Workspace-wide settings can be configured in order to detect and prevent abuse in two ways:

* **Anti-spam** uses AI to predict whether the received text is considered spam and flags it as such when a conversation is started.
* **Allow/block rules** allows you to create a list of identifiers that are allowed to or blocked from starting new conversations.
