Programmatic approach to generating and sending responsive user notifications via e-mail

• Easy API to generate HTML based e-mail bodies in your app
• Less time wrestling with CSS inlining
• Automatically responsive

php composer.phar require fivesqrd/fluent:4.0

For Laravel projects there is an easy to install package available

composer require fivesqrd/fluent-laravel

To send messages you'll first need to register Fluent account. Once registered, you'll receive API key to start sending messages immediately.

Create and send a message:

$messageId = Fluent\Factory::message()->create()
    ->title('My little pony')
    ->paragraph('Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Praesent ornare pellentesque neque non rutrum. Sed a sagittis lacus.')
    ->number(['caption' => 'Today', value => date('j M Y')])
    ->button('http://www.mypony.com', 'Like my pony')
    ->paragraph('Pellentesque habitant morbi tristique senectus et netus et malesuada fames ac turpis egestas.')
    ->when(date('D') == 'Sun', function ($message) {
        $message->paragraph('Something that will only display on Sundays');
    })
    ->teaser('This is a teaser')
    ->subject('Testing it')
    ->header('Reply-To', 'me@myapp.com')
    ->to('user@theirdomain.com')
    ->send();

The following methods are provided to set up the delivery of the message:

/* Add a header to the message */
$message->header('Reply-To', 'me@myapp.com');

/* Add multiple headers to the message */
$message->headers(array(
    'Reply-To', 'me@myapp.com',
    'X-Fluent', 'lorem'
));

/* Set the sender address and name */
$message->from('me@myapp.com', 'My App');

/* Add an attachment to the message */
$message->attach('My-Attachment.pdf', 'application/pdf', file_get_contents($file))

/* Only add an attachment if the condition is satisfied */
$message->attachWhen(file_exists($file), 'My-Attachment.pdf', 'application/pdf', file_get_contents($file))

/* Add multiple attachments to the message */
$message->attachments(array(
    ['name' => 'My-First-File.pdf', 'type' => 'application/pdf', 'content' => file_get_contents($file)],
    ['name' => 'My-2nd-File.jpg', 'type' => 'image/jpg', 'content' => file_get_contents($file2)],
));

Send is the final method of the chain and should always be called last. It delivers to message to the Fluent Web Service and returns a unique message ID.

/* Send the message */
$messageId = $message->send();

$messageId = Fluent\Factory::message()
    ->create('This is a plan text email body')
    ->subject('Testing it')
    ->header('Reply-To', 'me@myapp.com')
    ->to('user@theirdomain.com')
    ->send();

Find problematic events related to a user's email adress:

$response = Fluent\Factory::event()->find()
    ->to('user@theirdomain.com')
    ->since(date('Y-m-d H:i:s', $timeframe))
    ->type(['hard_bounce', 'soft_bounce', 'reject'])
    ->fetch();
