. I am not sure where to go to test this. Do we have access to the email box? A scenario would help. Thanks.

a placeholder feature calls for a FOLIO module responsible for formatting and sending e-mails. When built, this module would offer a RESTful JSON API for sending e-mails (with FOLIO SMTP configuration stored in mod-config) and formatting e-mails with a selected templating language (Patron Notice stories talk about a particular templating language implementation). API design and implementation of this module has not started yet. and I have discussed that one approach would be for you to work on a proposal for an API for such module.

Thank for details. I also have questions to the issue:

• Will we have email templates? Is there is a chance that we will have more than one template?

• What about email styling?

• What SMTP server will we use?

• Do we have "folio-administration@folio.org" account or it assumed to be created by dev team?

• Will we have a translation to other languages? If yes, whom I can get this translation from (google translator/native speaker, etc.)?

Slack conversation with Heikki Levanto.

Hey Heikki, I am working on local password management requirements. We have two requirements in which the user must receive an email when s/he changes his/her password AND user must receive an email when the Folio Administrator clicks a link that triggers sending a Set your password email to a user. I noticed you have worked on mod-notify, would the work you have done so far address this requirement?

Heikki Levanto [4:09 AM]
Well, in principle yes.
At the moment, mod-notify only stores the notification in the database, and I think the UI can display it when the user logs in. That will not work in practice. But the plan is that mod-notify will be extended to send email, SMS, and other forms of messages. I have no idea how far we are with that part of the project, and how high priority it has.
You might use mod-notify for now, at least to get started. Even if you would need a different module, the interface is likely to be similar, so it should not be a very hard thing to change.

Khalilah Gambrell [7:13 AM]
So we have the ability to store the notification template sent to a user?

Heikki Levanto [7:14 AM]
No, there is no templating yet. You can post a message to mod-notify together with the userId for whom it is, and that's all.

Khalilah Gambrell [7:19 AM]
So we store the notification sent to the user?

Heikki Levanto [7:19 AM]
Yes. At least until it has been shown to the user.

Khalilah Gambrell [7:19 AM]
Ah ok
Thanks. So we store that the notification has been sent. But the mechanism to send the notification to the user has not been developed yet?

Heikki Levanto [7:23 AM]
Not yet. I think the UI can display the message, when the user is on line. Useless for telling the password, I know, but can at least be used to verify that the message has been posted correctly.

Khalilah Gambrell [7:27 AM]
And one more question. To confirm, you think the work to send an email to a user that his/her password change should happen in mod-notify for now?

Heikki Levanto [7:28 AM]
It is my understanding that there are plans to extend mod-notify to handle all kind of messaging, so yes. Unless the plans get changed. But for now, yes, use mod-notify.

and , currently Chrome is the only browser Folio officially supports BUT for this user story, I like for us to test with the latest two versions of Chrome and Safari.

Mobile web - I am unsure I understand. Is the question related to responsive design?

Mobile email client - We should test with Outlook for now. Will confirm other clients.
