The Automated Upcoming Event Notification add-on will allow you to send a reminder email to your attendees about an upcoming event automatically. This can be used as a courtesy reminder to your guests about upcoming events and you can also customize this on a per-event basis. For example, you can automatically notify attendees/registrants three days before the start of one of your events.

Installation
This add-on requires Event Espresso 4.9.39.p or newer. It cannot be used with old versions of Event Espresso 4.
This add-on is a plugin for WordPress and can be installed through your WP dashboard (WP-admin).
Download the current version of the Automated Upcoming Event Notification add-on for Event Espresso 4 from your Event Espresso account.
Then login to your WordPress dashboard (WP-admin) and go to Plugins. Next, click on Add New –> Upload and browse to the plugin on your computer. Then select the zip file and begin the upload process. Wait for the plugin to upload and then click on Activate.
Setup and Configuration
You will not see any new WordPress administration menus for the add-on. Upcoming Event Notifications (event reminders) are set up through the existing Messages System which can be found in WordPress admin > Event Espresso > Messages > Default Message Templates page. If you do not see them on the page, then try adjusting the pagination through Screen Options in the top right area of your screen. Increase the value to a higher number such as 25 and then click on the Apply button to save changes.
Please note: if the new message templates (shown in the screenshot above) are missing, then please make sure the Email messengers are active in Event Espresso > Messages > Settings.
Usage
This add-on introduces two new message types:
Automated Upcoming Event Notification
In this message type, the automation is triggered by the threshold against the earliest date-time on the event. This is ideal if you have an event with multiple (or single) datetimes but want to send out the notifications for just the event.
Automated Upcoming Datetime Notification
In this message type, the automation is triggered by the threshold against specific date-times as opposed to individual events, which is ideal for when you are using an Event to represent multiple occurrences of that same event via datetimes.
Activating automated upcoming notifications for ALL events or datetimes
First, you need to decide if you want to send a single automated event reminder or a reminder for each datetime across ALL events. If not, then please move on to the next section. However, if you would like to have the reminders to sent automatically, on a default schedule, then simply follow these steps:
Choose the message automated upcoming message type you want to work with (Upcoming Event or Upcoming Datetime) and click edit.
Scroll down the page a little to find the Scheduling Settings meta box in the right area of the page, where you can turn the scheduling on and set the number of days before the event or datetime to send the automated notification.
Once you have activated the scheduling, Event Espresso will email the registrants X days before the event.
Activating automated upcoming notifications for a single event
To activate the automated event reminders for a single event, visit the event editor for that event, then scroll towards the bottom of the page where you will find the Notifications panel. From there you can decide which upcoming notification (event or datetime) to send for that event, then click the Create New Custom button to create a custom automated notification for your event.
Next, once you’ve created a custom template, click the Edit button. Then scroll down the page a little to find the Scheduling Settings meta box, where you can turn the scheduling on and set the number of days before the event (or datetime) to send the automated notification.
Once you have activated the scheduling, Event Espresso will email the registrants X days before the event.
You can then save changes to your event by clicking on the Update button in the event editor.
Default behavior across both message types:
The “default” templates for these message types apply globally to all events but have a toggle for turning the messages off or on globally, which ensures that if you have a more simple setup, where you just want the same template to be used across all of your events/datetimes. You can just toggle the default template on or off. Please note: the setting defaults to off because having both on means registrants would receive multiple “upcoming” notifications for the first datetime on an event.
By default, the message types will be sent to the contact details for registrants (only one email per contact, regardless of registrations sharing that contact) and would only get sent to APPROVED registrants.
Event specific templates can be created that will override the default and would also have an on/off toggle for the message type.
The ONLY option (besides the on/off toggle) for these message types is how many days before the event/datetime (depending on message type) the messages get generated and sent.
This will only send to approved registrations for Events that are “upcoming” or “sold out” active status. The actual query will be based on whether there’s a date in the future for an event (matching whatever optional – the only option – threshold people pick.). For the upcoming event message type (not the upcoming datetime), there will only be ONE message go out and it will get triggered against the earliest datetime for that event.
The shortcodes available for the templates will be the same as the registration message types because the recipients are registrations.
Troubleshooting
The plugin will not activate. Can you help?
Are you running a current version of Event Espresso 4? This add-on needs at least version 4.9.39.p to activate.
Where is the menu screen for this add-on?
This plugin does not create any new menus in the WordPress admin screen. It uses the messages setting screen along with the event editor for Event Espresso.
Recommendations
If you have ever experienced email deliverability issues with your server, or are on shared/inexpensive hosting, or emails are getting lost or marked as SPAM or junk mail? Then a transactional email service is HIGHLY recommended when using this add-on for Event Espresso 4.
This add-on uses Cron tasks to run scheduled callbacks or spawn cron for all scheduled events. This means that you will need a server that is capable of running Cron jobs (a unix program which runs unattended scheduled tasks).
Customizations
Our support team cannot write custom coding for you. Below are some examples on customizing this add-on.

The Wait List Manager add-on for Event Espresso 4 has arrived! Now you can automate the process of capturing wait list signups when your events sell out. Easily manage last minute event tickets and provide standby ticketing for your customers and increase profitability for your events.
First install Contact Form 7 through the plugins manager within your site, navigate to Dashboard -> Plugins -> Add New and search for ‘Contact Form 7’. This first result should be Contact Forms 7 and looks like this:
Click ‘Install Now’ and activate, you’ll now have a ‘Contact’ section in your admin menu which you can use to generate contact forms.
Within the Contact section click ‘Add New’ to generate a new form:
Create a new form and add the details you want to see on that form, at a minimum we recommend name and email, although you can request any details you need and also include any additional text on the form, for example ‘Join the waiting list for this event?’ For example:
When any users submit the form you’ll receive an email with the details they submitted, however currently we don’t have any details of the event within the form, or the email so we won’t know which event they wish to sign up for but we can add those details within the ‘Mail’ tab.
The sections you will need to edit are ‘Subject’ (your form likely does not have a ‘subject’ field so manually set this) and then within the message body you’ll need to include details of the event. You can do this using the Contact Form shortcodes [_post_title] which shows the title of the post the form was submitted from and [_post_id] which shows the ID of the post the form was submitted from. Here is an example:
You may also want to update the text within the ‘Messages’ tab to suit, the text there is shown to users through various steps of the form.
Now you have a waitlist form within Contact Form 7 we need to use a small function to output that form on sold out events. First take note of the shortcode shown at the top of your contact form (the blue box in the screenshots above), you will need this to pull the correct form, in my example this is `[contact-form-7 id=”107″ title=”EE Waitlist”]` so we can use this function:
You can add that function to your themes functions.php file or create a Custom Functions Plugin and place it within that, be sue to use the correct shortcode to pull your form in.
Now on your sold out events you should see something like this:
Whenever a user submits the form you will receive and email from contact form 7 with the users details along with the event title and ID.

Your credentials for First Data Payeezy can be found in your merchant account. Before accepting live payments, your account should be enabled for accepting live payments. If you are not sure, then please reach out to First Data support, and they will be able to assist you.
First Data Payeezy uses a Gateway ID, Password, HMAC Key ID, and HMAC Key for payment processing. These are found in different screens in your merchant account. As you locate each credential in different pages in your merchant account, then copy them to a text document on your computer. After you have all of the credentials, then you can add them to First Data Payeezy for Event Espresso in your WordPress dashboard.
2) Look in the top right area of the screen and click on Terminals. Now look for the Ecommerce terminal and then click on it.
3) You will now be viewing the details for this terminal. Again, be sure that you are viewing the Ecommerce terminal which is for online payments. Scroll down and look for Gateway ID and copy it to your text document.
4) A few fields below the Gateway ID, you will see a Password field. Click the Generate link and then copy the Password to your text document. Scroll to the end of the details page for the terminal and immediately click on the Update button, so your settings are saved.

Usage
The First Data Payeezy payment gateway will let you accept payments through major credit or debit cards.
The Direct API is used which means that your registrants/attendees will pay for their registrations on your website.
I configured First Data Payeezy and payments are not being processed. Can you help?
First, double-check that you are using your API credentials for production (live) mode which are different than your login information for your First Data Payeezy account. Also, ensure that there is no extra spacing before or after the credentials in the payment methods screen of Event Espresso 4.
How can I set up a recurring payment or subscription through First Data Payeezy?
Recurring or subscription payments are not currently supported in the First Data Payeezy payment gateway.
When I refund a payment, does it also refund through First Data Payeezy?
Refunds in Event Espresso 4 are currently a two-step process.
1) Apply the refund through the transactional details screen of Event Espresso in your WP-admin (WP dashboard).
2) Then login to your First Data Payeezy merchant account and process the refund.
Do I need to be PCI compliant?
Compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) is required if you are processing, storing, or transmitting credit card data. Event Espresso recommends using a dedicated SSL certificate on your website.
Firstly you will need to install Ninja Forms which can be done through the plugin manager, simply navigate to Dashboard -> Plugins -> Add New and search for ‘Ninja Forms’. The first result should be the Ninja Forms plugin and will look like this:
Click ‘Install Now’ and then activate, you’ve now installed Ninja Forms and will have a ‘Forms’ section within your admin menu which can be used to create your Forms and monitor ‘submissions’ to those forms. A ‘Contact Us’ form is automatically generated when Ninja Forms is activated which you can use for your waitlists if preferred, in this example, we will create our own form specifically for capturing details of users wanting to be added to the waitlist.
Within the forms section click the ‘Add New’ menu item or the ‘Add New Form’ button at the top of the page:
You can now generate a new form based on one of the templates available within Ninja Forms or just add your own fields to your own form. Usually, you will want at least the First Name, Last Name and Email fields within your form but you may also request additional details, we recommend including two hidden fields, one for the event name and the other for the event id so that you can easily identify which event the submission is for. Here is an example of creating a custom form with the above details:
So now you have a form your registrants can use to show interest in your events when they are sold out, we need a way to display it on the event details which is where the custom function mentioned above comes in:
You can add that function to your themes functions.php file or create a Custom Functions Plugin and place it within that. When using the function the ID of the correct form needs to be set, the form above highlights its id was 6, so we need to change
$ninja_forms_id = 1;
to
$ninja_forms_id = 6;
however, your ID may be different so be sure to use the correct number for your form.
The end result should look something like this:
When a user submits their details for the event they show up in the submissions section with the Event Name and Event ID populated with the events details so you know what the submission is for:
If you can not see those fields check they are enabled within the screen options at the top of the page.
You can now capture any details from users interested in your sold out events, view their submissions and either manually add them to the event if space becomes available or send them details of another similar event to see if they would like to register onto that.

Welcome to Event Espresso! Everyday event organizers across the world use Event Espresso to power their events and now its your turn. We’ve created video tutorials to get you up and running quickly so lets get started.
This Quick Start guide covers the following topics:
Are you working with a team member on your new project? Share a link to this page with them.
Pre-setup recommendations
Let’s review some important WordPress website settings before getting started with Event Espresso.
Step 1) Confirm your website’s timezone are set a city/region near you. Go to your WP-admin (WordPress dashboard) –> Settings –> General. Change the UTC option to a city/region near you and save changes by clicking on the Save Changes button.
Step 2) Confirm pretty permalinks are enabled. From your WordPress dashboard go to Settings –> Permalinks. If the option is set to Plain, then change it to post name and save changes by clicking on the Save Changes button.
Notes from the video: Enabling pretty permalinks is not required to use Event Espresso. However, it does make the links on your site easier to read and better for search engine optimization to help attendees find your events and for you to sell tickets.
Next action step: Continue to the section below ↓.
Once you have the zip file on your computer, go to your WP-admin (WordPress dashboard) –> Plugins –> Add New –> Upload Plugin –> Choose File and then browse to the event-espresso-core-reg.zip file on your computer. It will likely be in your downloads folder or on your desktop. Select the zip file and then begin the upload.
Afterwards, then click on the Activate button to activate Event Espresso.
Notes from the video: the video focuses on getting the core plugin installed. We’ll talk about installing add-ons later on in this guide.
Next action step: Continue to the section below ↓.
Update your organization settings
Are you organizing events outside of the United States or Canada? If so, then follow the steps below to update the countries through Event Espresso. If you are located in Canada or the United States, then click here to learn how to update your organization settings.
Change country settings
By default, the United States and Canada are enabled as countries in Event Espresso. If you are located in another country, then you can change the countries through Event Espresso –> General Settings –> Countries.
Look for the Country Appears in Dropdown Select Lists option and set it to No for the United States. Then save by clicking on the Save Country Details button.
Now repeat this step for Canada and again set the option to No and save changes.
Now you are ready to enable your country. Select your country from the drop-down option towards the top of the page and then look for the Country Appears in Dropdown Select Lists option and this time set it to Yes and save changes by clicking on the Save Country Details button.
Next action step: If you need to enable a language other than English, then click here to see our translation guide. If not, then continue to the steps in the section below ↓.
From your WordPress dashboard, look for Event Espresso in the admin menus and then click on General Settings.
Now update the Contact Information section to add your own information and then save changes by clicking on the save button.
Notes from the video: You can also upload a logo for your organization and add social media links but these steps are optional.
Next action step: continue to the section below if you have paid events. Otherwise, move on to the section for creating an venue ↓.
Set up a payment method
With Event Espresso, you can accept offline payments with checks (e.g. an attendee mails you a check) and online (e.g. credit cards). We recommend accepting online payments so you can:
– Receive your funds as your attendees’ register without any delay
– Know who is attending your event so you can plan ahead
– Avoid the hassle of handling paper checks and needing to follow up with attendees who registered but haven’t paid
Offline payment options like invoice, bank transfer, and checks are also supported.
We recommend setting up an online payment option so you receive payments for your events right away. If you are new to online payments, then go with Stripe.
Create a venue for your events
This step is optional and is only needed if you want to show a location for your events.
A venue or location of an event can be created and then it can be used for one or more events. From your WordPress dashboard (WP-admin) go to Event Espresso –> Venues and click on Add New Venue. You’ll now be viewing the venue editor.
Most event organizers use these areas:
✓ Venue title (top area)
✓ Venue description (top area)
✓ Physical Location (lower right area)
✓ Google map (lower right area)
Update these fields along with any others that you would like and then publish your venue by clicking on the Publish button in the top right area of the venue editor.
Notes from the video: A venue must be published before it can be used for an event.
Enable Google maps
Event Espresso supports showing a location for a venue on a map. This uses Google maps so registering with their service is required. If you would like to show a map for your venues, then go to Event Espresso –> Venues –> Google Maps and click on the link to get an API key. Complete the registration process and then add your API key and save changes.
Afterwards, go back to your venue and change the Display Google Map for this venue option to Yes and save changes to the venue. This setting is located in the lower right area of the venue editor.
Next action step: Continue to the section below ↓.
Create your first event
Events for Event Espresso are created through the events editor. From your WordPress dashboard, go to Event Espresso –> Events and click on Add New Event. You’ll now be viewing the event editor.
Go ahead and enter a title for your event and then add a description. Then create a datetime (when an event takes place) and ticket/pricing option. You can then select the venue for the event. Scroll to the lower right area of the page and then upload a featured image. Then you can save the event as a draft using the Save as draft button in the top right area of the screen and then preview it.
If you are happy with the set up of the event, then you can publish it by clicking on the Publish button and it will be open for registration.
Check out the video below to get an overview of how the main areas of the event editor work. We use a CPR training class as an introduction to the event editor and you can toggle full screen in the lower right area of the video.
Next action step: If your event has multiple pricing options and dates, then see the next section below. Otherwise, continue to the section for creating a custom registration question ↓.
How to use multiple datetimes and pricing options
The multiple datetimes and pricing option feature will let you create several datetimes for an event and then grant access to the datetimes through one or more pricing options. Remember that a datetime is when an event takes place.
Here is an introduction to the multiple datetimes and pricing options feature.
Next action step: If you need to restrict an attendee to picking only one pricing option at a time, then continue to the section below ↓. Otherwise, continue to the section for creating a custom registration question.
How to use the maximum tickets option
The maximum tickets option can be used to restrict the number of pricing options that can be registered for during a single transaction. It can also be used to force a guest to select a single option rather than allowing different quantities of different pricing options.
That concludes our example of using a CPR training class for showing you how to use different areas of the event editor.
Video tutorials of different events in Event Espresso
Here are a few more examples of how to set up different kinds of events on your WordPress website through Event Espresso.
Next action step: Continue to the section below ↓.
Create a custom registration question
Event Espresso has questions available to request the name, email, address, and phone number from your guests.
You can also collect their address and phone number. These existing questions are considered system questions and are organized by question groups. A question group bundles a series of questions together. For example, the personal question group has the name and email address and the address question group has address related questions and a phone number. If you would like to collect a custom registration question, then it can be created using the questions editor.
Go to your WordPress dashboard –> Registration Form. Towards the top of the screen, you’ll see a button that says Add New Question. Go ahead and click on it and you’ll then be taken to the question editor. Enter a name for the question in the Question Text field. Then select a Question Type. Here is an overview of the most popular question types:
– Text: a free-form text field
– Textarea: a free-form text field intended for a paragraph of information
– Checkboxes: select one or more responses
– Radio: select only one option from multiple choices
– Dropdown: select only one option from multiple choices in a dropdown menu
Next, you can select if this question should be required. If you set it to required, then an attendee will only be able to proceed with registration checkout if they complete the required question (e.g. a terms and conditions question).
Check out the video below.
Notes from the video: Event Espresso supports a variety of different question types. Create different questions and question groups as needed and then assign them on a per-event basis through the event editor.
Next action step: Continue to the section below ↓.
Create a custom registration question group
A question group organizes or holds a set of questions. For example, the Personal Information question group includes the name and email address questions and the Address Information question group includes questions for an address and a phone number.
You can create a custom question group for your custom questions so you can enable them for your events. This offers the best flexibility since you’ll be able to collect basic information (e.g., a name and email address) for one event and then different information (e.g. a name, email address + meal choice, how did you hear about us, etc) for another event.
Go to your WP dashboard dashboard –> Registration Form. Near the top of your screen, you’ll see a tab that says Question Groups. Go ahead and click on the Questions Groups tab and you’ll then be taken to the question groups overview screen. Click on the Add New Question Group button and you’ll be taken to the question groups editor. Enter a name for the question in the Group Name and then place a checkmark next to each question that you want to enable and then save changes.
Check out the video below.
Next action step: Did you purchase an add-on or extension for Event Espresso? Continue to the section below ↓. Otherwise, move on to how to get help with Event Espresso.
Install and set up add-ons
An add-on extends Event Espresso to introduce a feature that is not part of the core plugin. Examples of add-ons or extensions include the Events Calendar, Promotions, Events Table View Template, Printable Tickets, and Attendee Mover. You can see add-ons that are available in our store.

Common questions about Event Espresso
Here are some frequently asked questions about Event Espresso 4.
Are there recommended website hosts?
Yes, you can see WordPress hosts based on feedback from our members on our requirements page. A good WordPress host is an investment for your organization.
Can I change the order of the event elements on the event pages?
Yes, you can re-order the content through Event Espresso –> Events –> Templates in the WP Dashboard.
I’m using a caching solution like WP Super Cache, W3 Total Cache, or my web host uses caching. Do I need to change anything?
Please exclude the Event Espresso pages from your caching solution.
Can I upgrade my Personal support license to the Everything support license and receive credit for my existing purchases?
Yes you can! Go to the Account Settings area of your Event Espresso account page and select your new Everything support license from the dropdown menu and then confirm the change on the next page and your account will be immediately updated.
Are there any other resources available for members?
You can meet other event organizers on Slack.
In order to keep your data secure while using your WordPress website or the Event Espresso mobile apps, we highly recommend installing an SSL certificate. Otherwise, personal data, like passwords, can be intercepted and read by others. Please read our earlier article on the importance of SSL certificates and how to get one for your website.
Unable to install an SSL Certificate?
If you are unable to install an SSL Certificate on your website, then our next highest recommendation is installing the Application Passwords WordPress plugin on your website. This will allow the mobile apps to authenticate with your website and pull events and registration data on your behalf.
Once the Application Passwords plugin you can create an application-specific password from the WordPress > Users dashboard. Once you have created an “application password”, you can use it with the mobile apps instead of using your real password. This way, if the password gets intercepted by someone, they don’t have access to your real password, and the application password can be easily revoked.
Want to disable the REST API Security message?
Developers can disable this message by adding this filter to your WordPress install: //never show warnings, even if using basic auth over http
add_filter(
'EventEspresso__core__libraries__rest_api__controllers__config__handle_request_site_info__insecure_usage_of_basic_auth',
'__return_false' );
Please Remember:
By not installing an SSL Certificate on your website. Your security is at risk and you are exposing your password via an insecure connection.
