README
This package, Laravel-Mailgun-Webhooks
, has been superseded by a new and improved solution: Notification-Tracker
.
Notification-Tracker
offers a more robust, flexible, and maintainable way to handle webhook notifications. We strongly encourage all users to migrate to the new package.

Thank you for your understanding.
Mailgun Webhooks for Laravel
Tracking
This package allows you to quick and easily integrate your Laravel application with Mailgun Webhooks thus allowing you to track the outgoing email status for each individual user.
- Log when an email was delivered to a specific user
- Log when an email failed to send to a specific user
- etc...
This may be useful information you want to display to your end users or to a certain subset of users (Managers, Moderators, Admins, etc...).
Email Content Storage
This package will also store the content of the emails sent if you need to reference them at any point in the future. There are many use-cases for why this information is valuable.
- Verify a customers complaint with information in the email they received a few weeks ago
- Validate that a customer isn't altering / falsifying an email to benefit their case
- etc...
Alerts
This package allows gives you the ability to set it up so that you receive alerts for specific things. You have the ability to turn on and off the type of notifications you want to receive.
- Get notified when an email fails to deliver to a user
- Get notified when a user files a spam complaint
- etc...

MAILGUN_WEBHOOKS_TRIGGER_SPAM=true
MAILGUN_WEBHOOKS_TRIGGER_TEMP_FAILURE=true

by default is true, the rest by default are false.
MAILGUN_WEBHOOKS_CONTENT_LOG_STRIP_HTML=false
MAILGUN_WEBHOOKS_CONTENT_LOG_STRIP_TEXT=false
MAILGUN_WEBHOOKS_CONTENT_LOG_BODY_HTML=true
MAILGUN_WEBHOOKS_CONTENT_LOG_BODY_PLAIN=false
Custom Database Connection
Storing all of these mailgun notifications in another database? Specify which database connection to use.
MAILGUN_WEBHOOKS_CUSTOM_DATABASE=null
User Model
By default - we reference the App\Users model to form the relationship. If you use a custom model or have made changes to the User model - you may need to add and edit these variables to your dotenv as well:
MAILGUN_WEBHOOKS_USER_TABLE_NAME=users
MAILGUN_WEBHOOKS_USER_TABLE_EMAIL=email
MAILGUN_WEBHOOKS_USER_TABLE_KEY=id
MAILGUN_WEBHOOKS_USER_TABLE_FPQN=App\Users
Signing Key
Mailgun allows you to set an HTTP webhook signing key, which can be different from the API key value set in the MAILGUN_SECRET environment variable used to connect to the Mailgun API for sending. This is especailly useful if you use Domain level sending API keys or have rotated the HTTP Webhook signing key. Defaults to the MAILGUN_SECRET value.
MAILGUN_WEBHOOKS_SIGNING_KEY=
After you've completed the configuration - lets re-cache it:
php artisan config:cache
Now, you'll need to run the database migrations:
php artisan migrate
And, finally, you'll need to add a middleware to the route middleware group. In app\Http\Kernel.php
add the following line to the routeMiddleware
group:
'mailgun_webhooks' => \Biegalski\LaravelMailgunWebhooks\Middleware\ValidateMailgunWebhook::class,
You're all set! Now you just need to add the API endpoints to the webhooks in your Mailgun account.
Add Webhooks In Mailgun
- Login
- Navigate to
Sending
->Webhooks
- Click
Add Webhook
button - Select the appropriate
Event Type
and input its corresponding API endpoint. Endpoints listed below:
*Replace "https://domain.com" with your applications URL.
Usage
It starts collecting data and sending notifications after configuration is setup. You can dive deeper and extract or display this data. Usage steps for that coming soon!
Affiliations
I have no affiliation with Laravel or Mailgun. Both are just frequently used in projects I am involved in and this package fills a need across various projects.
