I added a notification on created lifecycle hook on the model but it does not send the notification

Here is my booted method of the model.

protected static function booted(): void
    {
        static::created(function (Event $event) {
           if ('event_type_id' === 3) {
              Notification::send(auth()->user(), new NewEvent($event));
           }
        });
    }

And here is the notification class

class NewEvent extends Notification
{
    use Queueable;

    public $event;

    /**
     * Create a new notification instance.
     */
    public function __construct(Event $event)
    {
        $this->event = $event;
    }

    /**
     * Get the notification's delivery channels.
     *
     * @return array<int, string>
     */
    public function via(object $notifiable): array
    {
        return ['mail', TwitterChannel::class, NovaChannel::class];
    }

    public function toTwitter(mixed $notifiable): TwitterMessage
    {
        return new TwitterStatusUpdate($this->event->brideSideFullName);
    }

    public function toNova()
    {
        return (new NovaNotification)
            ->message($this->event->brideSideFullName)
            ->icon('emoji-happy')
            ->type('info');
    }

    /**
     * Get the mail representation of the notification.
     */
    public function toMail(object $notifiable): MailMessage
    {
        return (new MailMessage)
    }

It looks like there is a typo in the booted method. The if statement is checking if the string 'event_type_id' is equal to the integer 3, which will always be false. It should be checking if the value of the event_type_id attribute is equal to 3. Here's the corrected code:

protected static function booted(): void
{
    static::created(function (Event $event) {
       if ($event->event_type_id === 3) {
          Notification::send(auth()->user(), new NewEvent($event));
       }
    });
}

Also, make sure that the auth()->user() function is returning the correct user. If you're running this code in a console command or a job, for example, there may not be an authenticated user. In that case, you'll need to pass in a user object manually. Here's an example:

$user = User::find(1); // replace 1 with the ID of the user you want to notify
Notification::send($user, new NewEvent($event));
