It makes the clients feel happy due to personalize the message on a specific day. The library may also send the same to bring patrons close to the library and build good repo about librarians. Test: 1. Patron fields already contain the date of birth field in their data entry module 2. The system may regularly check the date of birth field and if a match with server date is found a Birthday message should deliver. 3. The message content should be customizable like other email alert service 4. There should be an option to use or not to use this option Hope the above idea is good and it is possible to do similar to sending the message alert before the expiry of the patron registration date. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

So you can't order a program to congratulate people automatically. Unless in very special cases I would consider this plain Spam that noone has waited for - except the possible sender. However, I also agree patrons have to have the ability to opt out. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Wouldn't the patron emailer cron job work for this?

Yeah, the patron emailer could totally do this. A dedicated process just for birthday notices could be simpler to use than the patron emailer, but this is doable now. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
