# Sending a Welcome Email

After adding a new patron, you might want to send the patron an email with information about how to use the library, how to access the OPAC, and a temporary password to use to log in.

To send a welcome email, click the "hamburger" menu on the Patrons View page and select **Send Welcome Email**.

The contents of the email can be edited in [Settings : Patrons : Notices](/v1/docs/setting-patron-notice) and also in [Patrons : Reports : Welcome Notices](/v1/docs/patron-report-welcomenotices), which can be used for sending emails all at once to a group of selected patrons.

If you have multiple [Notice Sets](/v1/docs/patron-report-notice-set) for Welcome Notices and therefore possibly different welcome messages, you'll see another menu where you can select which type of Welcome Notice to send.
