best approach for sending out mass emails & SMS message

Was wondering the best path forward to sending out mass emails and SMS message. For example, we have a daily message in our Intranet (built using Laravel 6). There is a daily message that needs to go out, using Emails and SMS notifications usually this will contain a link to a document or sometimes just text content.

Doing research since I have never worked with any of Laravels broadcasting, notifications, etc.. what would be the best way to approach this?

I think you would want to approach this using queues and dispatching jobs: https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/queues

Create a job which dispatches the email. And then just loop through the users to queue the jobs, you will probably want to add some delay to it to prevent the email server from getting upset.
