Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require assaqqaf/zendesk-laravel-notification

Add the service provider to config/app.php:

// config/app.php
'providers' => [
    ...
    NotificationChannels\Zendesk\ZendeskServiceProvider::class,
],

Setting up the Zendesk service

Add your Zendesk REST API Key to your config/services.php:

// config/services.php
...
'zendesk' => [
    'subdomin' => env('ZENDESK_API_SUBDOMIN'),
    'username' => env('ZENDESK_API_USERNAME'),
    'token' => env('ZENDESK_API_TOKEN'),
],
...

Usage

Now you can use the channel in your via() method inside the notification:

use NotificationChannels\Zendesk\ZendeskChannel;
use NotificationChannels\Zendesk\ZendeskMessage;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notification;

class ProjectCreated extends Notification
{
    public function via($notifiable)
    {
        return [ZendeskChannel::class];
    }

    public function toZendesk($notifiable)
    {
        return
            (new ZendeskMessage('Test Zendesk Notification', 'This will be sent as ticket body'));
    }
}

In order to let your Notification know which user you are targeting, add the routeNotificationForZendesk method to your Notifiable model.

This method needs to return the access token of the authorized Evernote user.

public function routeNotificationForZendesk()
{
    return [
        'name' => $this->name,
        'email' => $this->email,
    ];
}
