[Bug 9097] New: 'Welcome mail' for new library users
http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=9097 Bug ID: 9097 Summary: 'Welcome mail' for new library users Classification: Unclassified Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Patrons Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: katrin.fischer@bsz-bw.de CC: gmcharlt@gmail.com, kyle.m.hall@gmail.com One of our libraries asked, if Koha can send a welcome mail to new patrons. Ideally this would be an option in the patron account, so a mail can by the librarian to the patron whenever the registration process is completed at the circulation desk. The email could include important information about how to use the library, loan periods, services etc. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=9097 --- Comment #1 from Katrin Fischer <katrin.fischer@bsz-bw.de> --- AutoEmailOpacUser will only work, if you create a new patron from scratch and finish the registering process in one session. If you use patron data import no mails are sent out when the account is created. If I understood correctly the library wanted an option to do it manually or when actually activating an account. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

I like this idea quite a lot. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.

As it turns out they leave the username and password fields blank and Koha generates them upon saving. So in effect I suppose that this is a 2 stage registration too but it would be nice if the email could be sent. After all they want the username and password generated automatically for a reason. It also makes sense that an email is sent if username and password are generated automatically as the borrower will need to know this information as it is not entered manually. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

Maybe it would be good to file a separate bug about the problems you describe? I know that the email is often not send because people miss filling in one of the required fields the first go. Having a look at how to improve this would be good. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.
