Description

The Automated Upcoming Event Notification addon sends automatic reminder emails to registrants before each event created in Event Espresso, with a lead time you can set in days or hours. The extension removes the need to send notices by hand, extending the base plugin’s transactional messaging system with scheduled triggers that cut down on no-shows and keep attendees informed about the date, time, and details of the upcoming event.

Who Is It For?

  • Organizers of in-person events, workshops, and training sessions that depend on confirmed attendance.
  • Producers of conferences, talks, and courses with advance registration managed in Event Espresso.
  • Marketing and operations teams that need to automate the pre-event communication cycle without manual sends.

This addon is for anyone already running event registration through Event Espresso who wants to reduce no-shows without building external email workflows, delivering the automatic reminder layer missing from standard transactional messaging.
