# Setting Up Auto Kick

Please ensure you have enabled rule screening before using this feature. To change settings, run `/autokick enable` again with your new values.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Enable and Edit" %}

```
/autokick enable <grace_period> <message(optional)> <use_embed(optional)>
```

When enabling auto kick you can tune the member experience with three options.

1. `grace_period` is the number of hours a pending member can stay before removal
2. `message` is an optional direct message sent before removal
3. `use_embed` sends the kick message as an embed when set to true

We recommend sending the invite link in the message in case the user would like to rejoin.

> You can assign a grace period of up to **48 hours** with **GateKeeper Standard**

* **GateKeeper Plus** subscribers can set a grace period up to **168 hours**.
