Laravel

Send your first email from a Laravel controller by calling the MailBlastr API with the Http facade.

PHP has an official package — composer require mailblastr/mailblastr — and it works from any Laravel controller or service. The example below shows the dependency-free alternative instead: POST JSON to https://www.mailblastr.com/api/emails with the built-in `Http` facade, a wrapper over Guzzle. See SDKs for the package.

Prerequisites

1. Add your API key

Add your key to the application's .env file and read it with the env() helper (or via a config/ entry).

.env
MAILBLASTR_API_KEY=mb_xxxxxxxxx

2. Send email from a controller

Use the Http facade to POST the email body to the MailBlastr API. The easiest way to send is with the html field.

app/Http/Controllers/SendController.php
<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\JsonResponse;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Http;

class SendController extends Controller
{
    public function store(): JsonResponse
    {
        $response = Http::withToken(env('MAILBLASTR_API_KEY'))
            ->post('https://www.mailblastr.com/api/emails', [
                'from' => 'Acme <onboarding@yourdomain.com>',
                'to' => ['delivered@mailblastr.dev'],
                'subject' => 'hello world',
                'html' => '<strong>it works!</strong>',
            ]);

        $response->throw();

        return response()->json(['id' => $response->json('id')]);
    }
}
A successful call returns the created email's id. See every supported field in the Send an email reference.
