# Assign Members Automatically to a Group

Hey there! In this article, we'll show you how to set up automatic group membership in Spreadly. This feature lets you define rules so that users are automatically added to the right group—no manual assigning needed! 

|| Automatic group membership is updated every hour, so changes may take up to 60 minutes to take effect.

## How to Set Up Automatic Group Assignment

### 1. Go to Your Groups

First, open the **Groups** section in your Spreadly team settings. Here you’ll see all your available groups.

### 2. Select the Group You Want to Configure

Click on the group you want to set up for automatic assignment. In this example, we're choosing **Digital Cards**.

### 3. Find the “Assign Members Automatically” Section

In the group’s settings, scroll down to the **Assign members automatically** section.
