Email Marketing MailChimp like

Hello guys! I´ve set Queue to send an email successfully sending via job table. Now, I want to pass an Id from a content table, so the email sends a particular content, like choosing a campaign on MailChimp.

Let´s see some code: CampanhaController.php


    public function enviaCampanhas(Campanha $campanha)
    {
        $sendCampanha = Campanha::first();
        // return $sendCampanha->id;
        SendCampanha::dispatch($sendCampanha->id)
                ->delay(now()->addSeconds(5));
        return 'Campanha ' . $sendCampanha->nome . ' enviada';
        
    }

Now,. some code from SendCampanhas.php maiable


  public function build(Request $request)
    {
        $campanha = Campanha::where('id', '=', $campanha);
        return $this->view('layouts.campanhas.envia', compact('campanha'));
    }

Some code from view

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="ie=edge">
    {{-- <title>{{ $campanha->nome }}</title> --}}
    <!-- Styles -->
    <link href="https://carbonno.nnid.test/css/app.css" rel="stylesheet">
    {{-- <link href="{{ asset('css/app.css') }}" rel="stylesheet"> --}}
</head>
<body>
    <span></span>
    <div class="content">
        <h1>AQUI VAI O  TEXTO DA CAMPANHA DO CLIENTE</h1>
    </div>
    {!! $campanha !!}
    <span class="text-center">Caso não queira mais receber essas mensagens, <a href="#!" target="_blank">clique aqui</a></span>
</body>
</html>

On the end of the day, I want to pass to this view the content from 'campanhas' table, 'texto' filed.

Looks like I can pass the variables from controller to blade, so i´ve returned the results, but it doesen´t work passing to the view. The ``php artisan queue:wo can´t process like showing:

Now. Is this the right way to do it? If so, what I am doing wrong, or not doing to make it work? Any helps? Hints?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @marcellopato ,

One very important thing about sending it that way. You expose your server and IP to being potentially blacklisted if some people will mark it as a spam. I'm speaking from my own experience. It is so much easier to use one of the services that provide you with templating and e-mail scheduling and delivery like mailchimp, sendinblue, sendgrid etc.

They have one super feature - they let you buy an IP. One something goes wrong along the way all you need to do it to buy new IP. There is a good reason people do not send campaigns from own servers.

Correct me if I'm wrong but that is my impression. My list is not so big, about 150k emails and I already have hit that roadblock.

Hope it helps!

I recently used MailGet Bolt for my email marketing campaign. And I must say that is very easy to use, has a simple interface along with having a very important feature of testing your connected SMTP, by sending test emails. Also, they have a list cleaning feature that can be easily integrated into MailGet for checking any email lists and protecting against any spam users.
