# Ping on Join

> Configure automatic pings for new members

Ping on Join allows you to automatically mention or welcome new members in a specific channel. This page explains how to enable, customize, and manage this feature in Greed.

## Enable Ping on Join

To enable ping on join in your server:

```bash theme={null}
,pingonjoin enable #welcome
```

This will enable ping on join in the specified channel.

### With Threshold

Optionally, set a minimum member count threshold:

```bash theme={null}
,pingonjoin enable #welcome 5
```

Higher thresholds (e.g., 5) mean the feature only activates when the server has that many members. Useful for growing servers to prevent spam in early stages.

## Customize the Ping Message

Set your custom ping on join message (supports embed formatting):

```bash theme={null}
,pingonjoin message {embed}$v{title: New Member!}{description: Welcome {user}!}
```

## Disable Feature

To turn off ping on join:

```bash theme={null}
,pingonjoin disable
```

## Aliases

You can use the following alias for this command:

```bash theme={null}
,poj
```
