Sending Emails from Events and Listeners in Laravel 9: A Step-by-Step Guide

If you’re working with Laravel 9 and are looking to send emails using events and listeners, you may have encountered some issues in your implementation. In this guide, we’ll explore a common scenario where developers experience problems sending emails after submitting a contact form. We will cover the entire process step-by-step, providing you with a clear understanding and actionable solutions.

Understanding the Problem

In the provided code, the developer implemented the functionality to handle a contact form submission. The method submitContactForm captures the form data, validates it, and then dispatches an event called ContactFormSubmitted. The intention is to listen to this event to trigger an email being sent to a specified recipient.

However, there’s a critical issue: even though the form submission returns a success message, the email is not sent. This can be frustrating, especially after confirming that direct email sends using the Mail facade work perfectly.

Solution Breakdown

Let’s dive into the solution by clarifying some key components and steps to ensure the email is sent successfully when the event is dispatched.

Step 1: Validate and Capture Form Data

Your controller method should validate the incoming request, capturing the necessary data — name, email, subject, and message.

Step 2: Dispatch the Event Properly

Up to this point, the event was dispatched using event(new ContactFormSubmitted(...)). However, for better clarity and troubleshooting, it is recommended to use the Event::dispatch() method.

Here is the revised code:

Step 3: Implementing Listeners to Handle Events

Your listener, SendContactFormEmail, is responsible for handling the event. Ensure that your listener is properly set up to send the email.

Step 4: Registering the Event and Listener

Make sure that your event and listener are correctly registered in EventServiceProvider.php:

Step 5: Configuration Checks

Before testing, ensure that:

Your .env file has the correct email settings, particularly the MAIL_RECEIVER.

The mail settings (like MAIL_MAILER, MAIL_HOST, etc.) are configured correctly.

Testing the Setup

After making these adjustments, it’s time to test:

Submit the contact form.

Check your application’s response and the email inbox of the MAIL_RECEIVER.

With the fixes implemented as described, you should receive an email upon form submission without any issues.

Conclusion

Sending emails in Laravel using events and listeners can streamline your application workflow significantly. By following the steps outlined above, you can ensure that your emails are sent as intended without complications. Remember that debugging is an essential part of development; always check configurations and method implementations if something doesn’t work as expected.
