Membership level email notifications can be very useful for both members and the site owner. They handle the task of automatically providing information related to a number of topics.
These notifications can remind a user if they have not completed their registration yet.
Or, you can customize the email that is sent to the user when they register. It can contain their login information and a welcome message with details related to their membership. You can also set a notification email to be simultaneously sent to you informing you of the new member sign up.
Of course, you may want to disable some membership level email notifications if it feels like you’re getting too many. You also have that option when using the membership level notification settings in WishList Member.

Note: Reminder emails will not be sent if the user has completed their registration.

Send Every. The time interval each additional reminder email will be sent after the first reminder email is sent. As an example, if this is set to 24 hours, the next email(s) would be sent in 24 hour intervals after the first reminder email was sent.

Note: Messages are scheduled with the WP Cron built into WordPress. The WP Cron does not support specific time. For example, 1 hour may be slightly more or slightly less than 60 minutes. Decimals can be used to set a time less than 1 hour. Example: 0.5 equals 30 minutes and 0.25 equals 15 minutes. That being said, you won't need to be concerned about precise timing (down to the exact minute) for these emails.
