[Bug 41641] New: Link emails sent from cart or lists to existing patron accounts
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=41641 Bug ID: 41641 Summary: Link emails sent from cart or lists to existing patron accounts Initiative type: --- Sponsorship --- status: Product: Koha Version: Main Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Notices Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: cbrannon@cdalibrary.org QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org When sending a list or a cart to a patron via email, it is great that we are not limited to existing patrons, but it would also be nice if the email we are sending to would check if the email is going to a matching patron account so the email could be added to their list of notices in their account. It would also be great if instead of entering an email address, we could search for a patron account and select from any email addresses listed in their account, and then linking to their notices as well. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=41641 --- Comment #1 from Katrin Fischer <katrin.fischer@bsz-bw.de> --- 2 problems here: * Using the email address to link will only work if there is only one account using this email address. * Searching for an existing patron account can only work in the staff interface and probably be limited by the visibility settings. In the OPAC this would be a security/data privacy issue. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.

* Using the email address to link will only work if there is only one account using this email address.
Not from the staff interface. I would expect it to give you a list of all accounts that have that address that you could choose from, even if there is only one match, to confirm the correct patron. In the case that the match isn't someone in the system, you should have an option not to link. (i.e. A relative comes in, and has the same email address, but they are not any of the people that come up as a match)
* Searching for an existing patron account can only work in the staff interface and probably be limited by the visibility settings. In the OPAC this would be a security/data privacy issue.
It was implied that this would be related to staff functionality. The idea here is that we should be able to track notices/communications sent to the patron through Koha. We wouldn't need any such linking/tracking if the patron did this themselves on the OPAC. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.
