One way to find information when browsing the manual in Info-mode is to
press `i' (M-x Info-index) and enter the index key to look for.
Here you can look for "appointment reminders" or "appt.el" and it will
open this page:
(info "(org)Weekly/Daily agenda")
If you think this information should appear somewhere else, please
suggestion other location(s).

Better let the user decide by himself when he wants `org-agenda-to-appt'
to be called. Two (non-exclusive) methods:
1. Add a hook to `before-save-hook' locally in `org-mode-hook' so that
saving an Org buffer will check for new appointments and add them to
the list of appointments:
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook
(lambda() (add-hook 'before-save-hook
'org-agenda-to-appt t t)))
Note that pressing `s' in agenda buffers will save all agenda files
and run `org-agenda-to-appt' for each of them.
2. Add a custom key to call 'org-agenda-to-appt from an agenda buffer.
(org-defkey org-agenda-mode-map "\C-cA" 'org-agenda-to-appt)
If you use one of these two methods, maybe it's better to silent
`org-agenda-to-appt' since the repeated messages can be annoying.
I'll provide a way to do this.
