Issue using To foreach loop about mailgun HOT 11 CLOSED

I was thinking maybe something like

foreach ($emails as $email) {
        Mailgun::send('emails.notice', $data, function($message) use ($email, $subject){
            $message->to($email)->subject($subject);;
        });
}

I haven't really looked at how the library works yet though so didn't know if that would work

@evandentremont Have you tried it this?

Mailgun::send('emails.welcome', $data, function($message)
{
    $message->to(array(
        '[email protected]',
        '[email protected]'
    ));
});

Thanks for the quick reply!

I haven't, I'm doing this right now
https://github.com/evandentremont/DanceDB/blob/master/app/controllers/ContactController.php#L45

I'll give that a shot.

Nevermind, just tried it. That method does the same thing.

@evandentremont You probably shouldn't do that unless you are only sending it to 2 or 3 addresses.
Give me a minute to figure out the issue.

Yeah it's about 80, wanted to avoid it. Thanks for looking into it

@evandentremont To achieve this you need to make use of recipient variables.
A quick example:

Mailgun::send('emails.notice', $data, function($message)
{
    $message->to([
        '[email protected]',
        '[email protected]',
        '[email protected]',
    ]);
    $message->recipientVariables([
        '[email protected]' => ['name' => 'John Doe'],
        '[email protected]' => ['name' => 'Foo Bar'],
        '[email protected]' => ['name' => 'Baz Bar'],
    ]);
});

With the above you specify the data that belongs to the address.
Now when using the name variable in your template it will be mapped to the correct user.

If you don't have any user specific data you can pass an empty array:

Mailgun::send('emails.notice', $data, function($message)
{
    $message->to([
        '[email protected]',
        '[email protected]',
        '[email protected]',
    ]);
    $message->recipientVariables([
        '[email protected]' => [],
        '[email protected]' => [],
        '[email protected]' => [],
    ]);
});

Please let me know if this works out for you.

Yes, that worked!

Kept the foreach and added recipientVariables to it.

Another option would be to use Mailgun's mailinglists.
I'm currently working on implementing mailinglists into this package.
Though a quick peek at your code tells me mailinglists is probably not the correct solution in your case.

From the Mailgun Documentation:

Batch Sending

Mailgun supports the ability send to a group of recipients through a single API call.

This is achieved by either:

• Using Batch Sending by specifying multiple recipient email addresses as to parameters and using Recipient Variables.
• Using Mailing Lists with Template Variables.

Warning It is important when using Batch Sending to also use Recipient Variables. This tells Mailgun to send each recipient an individual email with only their email in the to field. If they are not used, all recipients’ email addresses will show up in the to field for each recipient.

Not really, no. I'm sending to every user whos in a class on a specific day, and in a specific class soon.

Would need thirty-something mailing lists.

Thanks for the help!

from mailgun.

No problem, glad I could help.

I believe you can create a maximum of a 1000 mailinglists with a maximum of 2.500.000 members.
