Usage in Mailable with Template Id

Using the sendinblue() method you may pass extra fields listed below. All fields are optional:

• template_id (integer)
• tags (array)
• params (array)

If you want to use the subject defined in the template, it's necessary to pass the SendinBlueTransport::USE_TEMPLATE_SUBJECT placeholder in the subject(). You may as well override the subject text here. Otherwise, without the subject() method, the subject will be derived from the class name.

Mailable requires a view - pass an empty array in the view() method.

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace App\Mail;

use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
use Illuminate\Mail\Mailable;
use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;
use Webup\LaravelSendinBlue\SendinBlue; // <- you need this
use Webup\LaravelSendinBlue\SendinBlueTransport; // <- you need this

class MyMailable extends Mailable
{
    use Queueable;
    use SerializesModels;
    use SendinBlue; // <- you need this

    // ...

    public function build()
    {
        return $this
            ->view([])
            ->subject(SendinBlueTransport::USE_TEMPLATE_SUBJECT) // use template subject
            // ->subject('My own subject') // subject overridden
            ->sendinblue(
                [
                    'template_id' => 84,
                    'tags'        => ['offer'],
                    'params'      => [
                        'FIRSTNAME' => 'John',
                        'LINK'      => 'https://www.example.com',
                        'AMOUNT'    => '29',
                    ],
                ]
            );
    }
}

Params are accessbile in the SendinBlue template as:

• {{ params.FIRSTNAME }}
• {{ params.LINK }}
• {{ params.AMOUNT }}

You may as well use param substitution in the subject field, eg.:
{{ params.FIRSTNAME }}, forgot your password?!

Note: Do not use hyphens '-' in the variable names. {{ params.FIRST_NAME }} will work properly, but {{ params.FIRST-NAME }} will fail. Source: https://github.com/sendinblue/APIv3-php-library/issues/151

Regarding additional features

This library aims to provide a Laravel-compatible interface for SendInBlue along with support for template ids, tags and params.

If you need features like specific SendInBlue beta SMTP Template batching, you should directly use the official SendInBlue PHP library.
