# Auto-invite and Auto-approve

To use automatic criteria to invite users to your channel, you should first ensure that **@curabot** is added as a moderator to your channel. We’ve made it easy by providing a one-click setup prompt in the 'auto invite' tab on your dashboard.

## Automatic Criteria Available

{% hint style="info" %}
When multiple criteria are set, we implicitly use an "OR" condition. This means the system will check if a follower meets **any** of the specified criteria, and if they match at least one, an auto invite will be sent.
{% endhint %}

**Followed By**\
Automatically invite users who are followed by other farcaster users, such as your channel’s moderators or reputable users. This helps bring relevant and connected members into your community.

**OpenRank Global user rankings (\~power badge)**\
Set a threshold for OpenRank global user rankings to automatically invite users who meet or exceed this rank. This helps ensure you're inviting influential or top users to your channel. Learn more about OpenRank global rankings [here](https://docs.openrank.com/integrations/farcaster/ranking-strategies-on-farcaster).

**Hypersub Subscription** \
Invite users subscribed to specific Hypersubs relevant to your channel.

**ERC-20 Token Holdings** \
Auto invite users holding certain ERC-20 tokens, perfect for building token-gated communities.

**ERC-721 Token Holdings**\
Invite users who own specific NFTs (ERC-721 tokens), allowing you to create exclusive channels for collectors.

## **How to setup automatic criteria?**&#x20;

In this example, we’ve configured "Followed By" and "OpenRank Global Rank" as the two criteria. Every 30 minutes, the system will check the followers of `/openrank` and identify any FIDs that meet **either** of these criteria. If a match is found, an invite will automatically be sent to that user.

{% hint style="info" %}
You can also track the status of each run and view the FIDs that have been successfully invited!
