Hi,
It will be possible to configure the system (with a utomatic renew rule output parameter to say whether to send an email to the patron when renewal takes place.
If emails are sent, they will be sent in an aggregated manner (single notice for all renewed loans)

An error occurred while saving the comment Jennifer Lund commentedWe are having issues with patrons thinking the email button will give them access to the item. I can see why this occurs. When they find an item they see the email button. They don't see the request options because they are not signed in. If the item is an article the email button makes a lot of sense. They don't have to sign in to use the email button so they never see ILL or other request options.
The other issue with the email button is that they manually input their email address and when they enter it incorrectly we get the undelivered email returned to our library email. Usually, we can determine who was trying to send something based on the email that was entered and follow-up with them, but it is time-consuming. Other times the email is entered so incorrectly that we can't figure out where it was meant to go.

When can we expect this enhancement? It's great Alma has automatic renewal functionality, but the lack of notification is a huge disappointment.
