Add a list of merge tags and what they correspond to in the ILS
Merge tags use different terminology than either Sierra or Polaris ILS. Create a key that maps merge tag names to the corresponding field in each of the two ILSes so that users can understand what data will be pulled when they insert a particular merge tag.

Ability to send test message with data pulled from the ILS
The key functional feature of the notice templates are merge tags. When sending a test message, the most important thing you would want to be testing is whether merge tags are displaying correctly. However, since dummy data is used in the test notices, the test notices don't allow you to assess if your merge tags are working or not. It would be really nice if test emails could be sent with data pulled from the customer's ILS so we could see if our merge tags were working.

Include Individual Plus Total Costs in Bills
The bill currently shows the total amount owed (sum). They should also display the individual item costs included in the bill.
Make it an option to also include the item cost in the overdue notice as well (incentive to return!).
In our date due slips (JasperSoft) we include the cost of each item and a total cost to show what the patron saved by using the library vs. buying.

Hard Bounces management tracking
We've ran into difficulties trying to progressively clean up our bounces. Staff have to keep a google sheets to know what things have been corrected (unless they keep leap open as well and see if the patron has the "edited" in the notes). Would it be possible to evaluate some way to better manage the clean ups?
One idea offered was a check box for Resolved (Thanks Amy Al-Shabibi)

Limit number of soft bounces.
Limit the number of soft bounces to 2 and then it becomes a hard bounce. Patrons with email soft bounces, are not getting any notifications. Hold Notices are negatively effecting our customer service since patrons only have 5 days to pick up the item and they are not receiving the notice. The suggestion to manually monitor and update bounced emails is time consuming and requires daily staff time which is already limited. When larger library systems move to LX Starter, this could be potentially thousands of emails to monitor.
Please consider limiting soft bounces ASAP.17 votesWe are planning on limiting soft bounces this quarter (Q3 2023).

Add the ability to edit dark mode for notices
LX Starter is a massive improvement over our traditional Polaris notification emails, but the one piece we are running into is our library's branding colors become quite distorted in dark mode. With our website we have control over this and we would like the ability to do the same with LX Starter since it seems common place on mobile devices.
