Manually handling feedback

After a mail is sent, most email providers send feedback on the result.

You can handle that feedback for a certain provider by installing one of the add-on package we provide:

• Amazon SES
• Sendgrid
• Mailgun
• Postmark

Manually handling feedback#

You can also manually handle feedback.

First you must add a transport id to a Send model. Here's an example listener:

class StoreTransportMessageId
{
    public function handle(MessageSent $event)
    {
        if (! isset($event->data['send'])) {
            return;
        }

        /** @var \Spatie\Mailcoach\Models\Send $send */
        $send = $event->data['send'];

        $transportMessageId = $event->message->getHeaders()->get('header-name-used-by-your-email-provider')->bodyAsString();

        $send->storeTransportMessageId($transportMessageId);
    }
}

You must register that listener. A typical place would be in a service provider.

Event::listen(Illuminate\Mail\Events\MessageSent::class, StoreTransportMessageId::class);

Next, in the code that handles feedback you can get to the MailSend like this:

$send = Send::findByTransportMessageId($messageId);

You can mark a send as bounced.

$send->markAsBounced(SendBounceSeverity::PERMANENT);

When a Send is marked as permanently bounced, the subscriber will get unsubscribed from the email list.
