How to Send Bulk Mail using Queue in Laravel 10

In this tutorial, we'll explore how to efficiently send bulk emails using a queue in Laravel 10. Leveraging Laravel's queue system allows us to process multiple email dispatches in the background, optimizing performance and allowing for uninterrupted application operation.

In this guide, we'll see how to send bulk mail using a queue in laravel 10. Also, you can use laravel 8 and laravel 9.

So, let's see how to send bulk mail using a queue in laravel 10, larave10 sending bulk mail using a queue, how to send multiple emails in laravel 8/9/10, and send emails using a queue in laravel 9/10.

Begin by installing Laravel 10 with the following command:

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel laravel_10_send_bulk_emails

 

Update the .env file with your mail configuration details. Here, we'll use Mailtrap as an example:

MAIL_MAILER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.mailtrap.io
MAIL_PORT=2525
MAIL_USERNAME=your_username
MAIL_PASSWORD=your_password
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls

QUEUE_DRIVER=database

 

Define routes for sending bulk mail using the queue in the routes/web.php file:

use App\Http\Controllers\SendMailController;

Route::get('send/mail', [SendMailController::class, 'sendBulkMail'])->name('send_mail');

 

Generate a jobs table in the database by running the migration command:

php artisan queue:table
php artisan migrate

 

Generate a SendMailController using the Artisan command:

php artisan make:controller SendMailController

Then, add the following code to the SendMailController.php file:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Jobs\SendBulkMailJob;
use App\Models\User;

class SendMailController extends Controller
{
    public function sendBulkMail(Request $request)
    {
        $details = [
            'subject' => 'Test Notification'
        ];

        $job = (new SendBulkMailJob($details))->delay(now()->addSeconds(2));
        dispatch($job);

        return "Mail sent successfully!";
    }
}

 

Generate a job named SendQueueEmail using Artisan:

php artisan make:job SendBulkMailJob

Then, update the SendBulkMailJob.php file in the app/Jobs directory with the following code:

<?php

namespace App\Jobs;

use App\Models\User;
use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Bus\Dispatchable;
use Illuminate\Queue\InteractsWithQueue;
use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;
use Mail;

class SendBulkMailJob implements ShouldQueue
{
    use Dispatchable, InteractsWithQueue, Queueable, SerializesModels;

    protected $details;

    /**
     * Create a new job instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct($details)
    {
        $this->details = $details;
    }

    /**
     * Execute the job.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function handle()
    {
        $data = User::all();

        foreach ($data as $user) {
            Mail::send('mail.mailExample', [], function ($message) use ($user) {
                $message->to($user->email, $user->name)
                        ->subject($this->details['subject']);
            });
        }
    }
}

 

Create a view file named mailExample.blade.php in the resources/views/mail directory with the content:

Hi {{ $user->name }},<br>
This is a test mail.<br>
Thank you!

 

Start the queue listener by running the following command:

php artisan queue:listen
