Hello,
We have the new automated email reminders plugin installed, but not activated. We saw your note about reaching out to support if we were sending on the same request. Can you assist in ensuring we make a smooth transition?

Hi,
I can advise to go to your site’s Tools page (in the admin menus on the left side of your screen) and then click on Site Health. Then you’ll look for an entry that says Scheduled events are running. It may appear after clicking the Passed tests button.
If you do not see the confirmation above in the list of entries, then contact your WordPress host and ask them to confirm that your website has WP-Cron enabled. WP-Cron is a service that runs based on activity on your website, such as visitors browsing your webpages.
The Automated Upcoming Event Notifications add-on uses this service to trigger event reminder emails.
If the Tools > Site Health page says Scheduled events are running, then you’ll go to Event Espresso > Messages > Settings and switch the setting there to “Send Messages on a Separate Request”.

Ok WP-Cron is enabled, I just want to ensure there isnt anything else that will be changed by switching that setting.

It’s based on your settings. So for example if you input a “3” into the “Send notifications [ ] day before the event” field, then it will generate the notifications 3 days before the start of the event. There’s a cron task scheduled every 3 hours that checks for upcoming events.
