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.19 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.

Ability for two notice schedules one for weekdays and other for weekends
LX Starter has only one scheduler for seven days. Add the ability to have a weekday scheduler (Monday – Friday) to send queued notices and a separate weekend scheduler to send queued notices at different times.
Example: Weekdays Monday through Friday Library sends out notices 9:00am through 8:00pm on Weekends Saturday & Sunday Library sends out notices 10:00am through 6:00pm.12 votes -
Make the trackback links in the notices not look like spam
Right now the links in the notices look like this - which is something I would never click on and I suspect our patrons feel the same. Please make the URL not look like a fake link.

Notices - Send notices based on review file
The notices function is very useful, but limited. We are only able to communicate with patrons through Sierra on a few occasions. It would be wonderful to be able to send/print notices based on a review file. This way, we could communicate with patrons via Sierra for numerous reasons. My inspiration for this is to send notices just before a patron library account expires. Previously, we haven't had a standardized way to alert patrons to their impending expiration.
Idea Value
Sending notices to this effect would prevent service disruptions, promote patron retention, and promote good-will among patrons.38 votesThe ability to send a message to a selected group of patrons is planned as future functionality in LX Starter.

Alert patrons when their card will expire
Alert patrons to their accounts expiring 30 days before expiration date.
This would be extra helpful with 50% of our circulation being handled through self-check machines.
Idea Value
This is an issue, especially with self-checkouts and the system using patron expiration date as the due date. Patrons are familiar with the check out times and do not pay attention to their expiration date and then they accumulate a fine.61 votesThis will be a part of the Renewal Journey feature
