Can't send notification with mail laravel in ajax

A common issue!

When trying to send a notification via email using Laravel's notification system in an AJAX request, you might encounter issues. Here are a few possible reasons and solutions:

  1. CSRF Token: Laravel's default behavior is to require a CSRF token for all requests, including AJAX requests. To fix this, you can add the @csrf token to your AJAX request or disable CSRF protection for the specific route.

In your AJAX request:

$.ajaxSetup({
    headers: {
        'X-CSRF-TOKEN': $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content')
    }
});

Or, in your route:

Route::post('/send-notification', 'YourController@sendNotification')->withoutCsrf();
  1. Notification not sent: Make sure that the notification is being sent correctly. You can check the Laravel logs to see if there are any errors. Also, ensure that the notification is properly configured in your Notification class and the routes/channels.php file.

  2. Email not sent: If the notification is being sent, but the email is not being sent, check your email configuration in config/mail.php. Ensure that the email settings are correct, and the email is being sent successfully.

  3. AJAX request not sending the notification: In your AJAX request, make sure that you are sending the notification correctly. You can use the Notification facade to send the notification:

    
    use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Notification;

$.ajax({ type: 'POST', url: '/send-notification', data: { _token: '{{ csrf_token() }}', // Your data here }, success: function(response) { // Notification sent successfully } });

// In your controller public function sendNotification(Request $request) { $notification = new Notification(); $notification->send('YourNotification', $request->all()); return response()->json(['message' => 'Notification sent successfully']); }


5. **Check the notification queue**: If you're using Laravel's queue system to send notifications, ensure that the queue is running correctly. You can check the queue status using the `php artisan queue:listen` command.

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the issue and send notifications via email using Laravel's notification system in an AJAX request.
