Laravel send email to (notify) user using another email?

Some users have another email address that is stored as secondary_email column in users table.

How to send Notification using $user->notify() to this secondary email address?

Solution

  • You would override the toMail method of your notification. For example:

    use App\Mail\InvoicePaid as Mailable;

/**
 * Get the mail representation of the notification.
 *
 * @param  mixed  $notifiable
 * @return Mailable
 */
public function toMail($notifiable)
{
    return (new Mailable($this->invoice))
           ->to($this->user->secondary_email ?? $this->user->email);
}
