# 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**

**Wait up to a Week** ![GateKeeper Plus Feature](https://img.shields.io/badge/GateKeeper%20Plus-5865F2?style=flat)

* **GateKeeper Plus** subscribers can set a grace period up to **168 hours**.
  {% endtab %}

{% tab title="Disable" %}

```
/autokick disable
```

This command will disable auto kick in your server.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Show Config" %}

```
/autokick show-config
```

Displays the current configuration of auto kick within your server. If a message is configured, then an example message will also be sent.
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
