# Safer text-to-join keyword setup

> Keep church join keywords separate from text-message control commands.

Text-to-join setup now rejects built-in SMS control words, such as **START**,
**STOP**, and **HELP**, when creating or activating join keywords. Choose a
distinct word, such as **JOIN** or **PRAY**, for church text updates.

Existing keywords are not changed automatically. An older reserved keyword can
still be paused, and its name or confirmation reply can be maintained. Editing
those details does not replace its text word or change its active state.
Create a distinct replacement before sharing new joining instructions.

This does not change subscription or help commands. Your SMS provider may reserve
additional words.
