SafetyKit Core ingests activity on your platform and helps you identify and action bad actors.

There are two touchpoints for the engineering integration: sending events to the Core Events API and receiving the webhooks that the system produces. The events you send us serve as inputs to our detection machinery, and the webhooks communicate automated and human-reviewed decisions.

To start sending events, please look at the [Backend Events](/events/backend-events/index.md) section.
