Due and overdue notices

Koha can automatically generate and e-mail due and overdue notices.

We will need to define:

  • Templates: Text to be included in the notices, along with fields that will be populated dynamically
  • Triggers: Definitions of when each type of notice should be sent for each patron category

Preparing to configure due and overdue notices

To configure due and overdue notices, we will need to prepare a plan. We will need to identify which patron categories will receive notices, how many notices will be sent and when, and what the content will be in each notice. Our plan may look like this:

Patron category

First notice

Second notice

Third notice
