Using Laravel's Mailgun driver, how do you (gracefully) send custom data and tags with your email?
I fixed my own problem. I was wrong, YOU CAN add custom variables via the SMTP method:
// Send email with custom variables and tags in Laravel
Mail::send('emails.blank',
['html' => 'This is a test of Mailgun. <strong>How did it work out?</strong>'],
function($message) {
$message->to('[email protected]');
$message->subject('Mailgun API Test');
$headers = $message->getHeaders();
$headers->addTextHeader('X-Mailgun-Variables', '{"msg_id": "666", "my_campaign_id": 1313}');
$headers->addTextHeader('X-Mailgun-Tag', 'test-tag');
});
My testing was just inadequate. Very good to know, however I think this is an undocumented feature, so I suggest using with caution.
Update for Laravel 5.4+
As you can read in the offical docs:
The withSwiftMessage
method of the Mailable
base class allows you to register a callback which will be invoked with the raw SwiftMailer message instance before sending the message. This gives you an opportunity to customize the message before it is delivered:
/**
* Build the message.
*
* @return $this
*/
public function build()
{
$this->view('emails.orders.shipped');
$this->withSwiftMessage(function ($message) {
$message->getHeaders()
->addTextHeader('Custom-Header', 'HeaderValue');
});
}
You can just do like this in Laravel 5 :
Mail::send(['text' => 'my_template'], $data, function ($message) {
..
$message->getSwiftMessage()->getHeaders()->addTextHeader('X-Mailgun-Tag', 'my-tag');
});
