Swap Extruders on Filament Runout?

I have a situation where I don't have enough filament on one roll for a print, but I do have enough on two spools. I can swap the filament manually when the first runs out, but I though it would be slick if there where a way to load both, and have the second extruder activate after the filament sense detects an empty spool.

Is there a way to automate this?

Best Answer by BaconFase:

You can set any number of the other tools to spool join in your LCD menu during the Tools Mapping step. Scroll farther to the left than you think you can.
