[Bug 18543] New: Automated emails for new patron accounts with the AutoEmailOpacUser preference
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=18543 Bug ID: 18543 Summary: Automated emails for new patron accounts with the AutoEmailOpacUser preference Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: 16.11 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Patrons Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: karen@bywatersolutions.com QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt@gmail.com, kyle.m.hall@gmail.com When the AutoEmailOpacUser preference is set to Send, Koha should send an email with account details to newly created patrons. After some testing, we discovered that Koha will only send emails to patrons if the username and password are entered into the system by hand. The email is not sent when the username and password are automatically generated by the system. The expected behavior is that Koha would send the account details email to newly created patrons when the system automatically generates the username and the password. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

But you are right about the username. The current behaviour has led to a lot of questions as libraries are never sure if the email has been sent out (no way to check) and there is a lot of undocumented conditions for it to happen. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Lots of libraries would like Koha to auto generate the password. The welcome email is not sent even if they use the option to click for Koha to populate with a random string. It arrives as expected if the member of staff types data into the password field. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.

With a password not longer being sent, we could add the notice to the message_queue and also make other changes much more easily to make it more useful. The reasoning is that you should never send a password by email and we have much better options now with the password recovery feature where patrons can set their own passwords easily.
