What Is PMS Email Reminders?
PMS Email Reminders is developed by Paid Member Subscriptions and is a membership plugin for WordPress. It belongs to the membership category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for professional site owners. This add-on extends the core membership functionality by adding granular control over transactional and marketing emails.
The plugin solves the problem of manual member outreach by automating notifications for expiring subscriptions and abandoned signups. It is designed for site owners who need to improve member retention and conversion rates without manual intervention.
PMS Email Reminders Features
The feature set is built around automated event triggers and customizable email templates.
Automated Event Triggers
Email Reminders provides several triggers to engage users at the right moment. You can send emails after a member signs up to highlight premium content or after a member abandons a signup to recover potential lost sales. It also includes triggers for subscription expiration and automatic renewal notices to ensure members are informed before billing occurs.
Advanced Tagging and Configuration
The plugin includes extra email tags that can be applied to both reminders and default system emails. Administrators can configure these notifications for either the user or the admin side. This flexibility allows for internal alerts when subscriptions change while maintaining external member communication.
Custom Timing and Delays
Users can send instant reminders based on the selected event or choose to send notifications with a specific delay. This is particularly useful for sequences like “since last login” triggers, which help re-engage members who have not visited the site for a set period. Such automation encourages higher engagement and platform stickiness.

Use Cases
Recovering Abandoned Registrations
By using the “subscription pending” trigger, you can reach out to users who started the signup process but did not complete payment. This allows for automated follow-ups in the membership category that directly impact conversion rates.
Manual Renewal Reminders
If your membership site does not use automatic billing, Email Reminders is essential for notifying users multiple days before their access expires. This prevents unintentional lapses in membership and maintains steady revenue streams.
Re-engaging Inactive Members
The “since last login” trigger enables you to send personalized check-in emails to members who haven’t logged in recently. You can use these emails to showcase new content or updates they have missed, reducing the likelihood of cancellations due to perceived lack of value.
Agencies and Developers Managing Multiple Client Sites
Agencies can deploy automated email sequences across various client projects using a single WPExclusive subscription. This reduces the per-site cost while providing professional-grade automation to every client.
