To configure email notifications for failed jobs in Laravel, you can follow these steps:
Configure the Mail Driver: Open the .env file in your Laravel project and set the MAIL_* variables with the values specific to your email service provider. For example:
MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.mailtrap.io
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME=your_mailtrap_username
MAIL_PASSWORD=your_mailtrap_password
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
Create a Mailable Class: Laravel includes a make:mail Artisan command that you can use to generate a new Mailable class easily. Open your terminal and run the following command:
php artisan make:mail FailedJobNotification --markdown=emails.jobs.failed
This command will generate a FailedJobNotification class in the app/Mail directory with a corresponding markdown template in resources/views/emails/jobs/failed.blade.php. You can customize this template as per your requirement.
Modify the Failed Job Handler: Laravel provides a failed method in the app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php file where you can define the logic for handling failed jobs. Open this file and add the following code to send an email notification for failed jobs:
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Mail;
use App\Mail\FailedJobNotification;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\Job;
// ...
public function failed(Job $job, $exception)
{
// Send email notification for failed job
Mail::to('[email protected]')->send(new FailedJobNotification($job, $exception));
}
Make sure to add the appropriate use statements at the top of the file.
Test the Configuration: You can now trigger a job to fail by intentionally causing an error. For example, you can add the following code in a job's handle method:
throw new \Exception('Job failed');
When the job fails, Laravel will automatically call the failed method in the AppServiceProvider and send an email notification to the specified email address.
Remember to replace '[email protected]' with your own email address in the failed method.
That's it! You have now configured email notifications for failed jobs in Laravel.
