| Name | Item Auto Renew Addon |

| Version | 1.2.0 |
| Author | Andrew Morgan Interlibrary Loan Lending & Document Delivery Manager Joyner Library (ERE) East Carolina University |
| Description | This addon processes items that have been granted or denied renewals by the lending library, sending e-mails to notify patrons and routing the requests appropriately. |
The addon monitors the 'Awaiting Renewal OK Processing' and the 'Awaiting Denied Renewal Processing' queues.
For each transaction in either of the 2 queues, the addon will search the transaction's notes for a new due date, and then set the transactions DueDate to the new date. The addon will then send an email to the associated patron and will route the transaction to either the 'Customer Notified via E-Mail' queue or the 'Checked Out to Customer' queue, depending on the value of the transaction's LibraryUseOnly flag.
Any transactions that have an NVTGC matching one of the values in the configurable list will be excluded from these rules.
