Enable Popup Pre-Loading: this preloads the popup before the page leaves the server. This is used if the majority of your visitors are using slow internet connections and you have page caching off. There are very few scenarios where this should ever be enabled. Recommendation: NO
Enable Content Pre-Loading: This setting controls the server side pre-load of forms and content blocks. Unlike popups which, by default are latent, delaying content can give a negative impression. Recommendation: Test with disabled, if the experience is good, leave it disabled.
Use Theme CSS for ActiveDEMAND Forms: Setting this will strip all CSS from the ActiveDEMAND forms that are injected using the Magento 2 Widgets. Recommendation: NO
Use Theme CSS for ActiveDEMAND Dynamic Blocks: Setting this strips all CSS from ActiveDEMAND dynamic blocks. Recommendation:NO

For both of these events, you will have to set up corresponding Web Forms (Assets->Web Forms) in ActiveDEMAND to receive the callback. The nice thing about this system is that the session cookie is always associated with the callback, thus if an order is made, the web session of the person who created the order will be captured.

You can use the autoresponder workflow to process your order state changes
