Laravel

Send an email from a Laravel app with the usenotix/notix-php package.

Send your first email from Laravel with usenotix/notix-php. The package ships a service provider and a Notix facade, and Laravel finds both on its own.

Prerequisites

  1. Install the package

    composer require usenotix/notix-php

  2. Set your API key

    Add the key to .env:

    NOTIX_API_KEY=notix_12345

    Then add a notix entry to config/services.php. The provider reads services.notix.key first and falls back to NOTIX_API_KEY.

    'notix' => [
    'key' => env('NOTIX_API_KEY'),
],

  3. Send an email

    Use the facade. A facade proxies static calls, so reach each resource through its method: Notix::emails().

    <?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Notix\Laravel\Facades\Notix;

class OrderController extends Controller
{
    public function receipt()
    {
        $email = Notix::emails()->send([
            'from' => 'Acme <receipts@acme.com>',
            'to' => 'maria@example.com',
            'subject' => 'Your receipt for order 4471',
            'html' => '<p>Thanks for your order, Maria.</p>',
        ]);

        return response()->json(['emailId' => $email['emailId']]);
    }
}

  4. Or inject the client

    You can also resolve Notix\Notix from the container. Outside the facade, resources are plain properties.

    use Notix\Notix;

class Receipts
{
    public function __construct(private readonly Notix $notix)
    {
    }

    public function send(string $to): string
    {
        $email = $this->notix->emails->send([
            'from' => 'receipts@acme.com',
            'to' => $to,
            'subject' => 'Your receipt',
            'html' => '<p>Thanks for your order.</p>',
        ]);

        return $email['emailId'];
    }
}

Already using Laravel's Mail facade? You can point it at the Notix SMTP relay instead. See the SMTP quickstart.
