This package provides an easy way to integrate subscriptions to email lists of various email services.

Currently this package support:

- [Mailcoach](https://mailcoach.app) (built by us :-))
- [MailChimp](https://mailchimp.com)

## Support us

[](https://spatie.be/github-ad-click/laravel-newsletter)

We invest a lot of resources into creating [best in class open source packages](https://spatie.be/open-source). You can support us by [buying one of our paid products](https://spatie.be/open-source/support-us).

We highly appreciate you sending us a postcard from your hometown, mentioning which of our package(s) you are using. You'll find our address on [our contact page](https://spatie.be/about-us). We publish all received postcards on [our virtual postcard wall](https://spatie.be/open-source/postcards).

## Installation

You can install this package via Composer using:

```bash
composer require spatie/laravel-newsletter
```

To publish the config file to `config/newsletter.php` run:

```bash
php artisan vendor:publish --tag="newsletter-config"
```

This will publish a file `newsletter.php` in your config directory with the following contents:

```php
return [

/*
* The driver to use to interact with MailChimp API.
* You may use "log" or "null" to prevent calling the
* API directly from your environment.
*/
'driver' => env('NEWSLETTER_DRIVER', Spatie\Newsletter\Drivers\MailcoachDriver::class),

/**
* These arguments will be given to the driver.
*/
'driver_arguments' => [
'api_key' => env('NEWSLETTER_API_KEY'),

'endpoint' => env('NEWSLETTER_ENDPOINT'),
],

/*
* The list name to use when no list name is specified in a method.
*/
'default_list_name' => 'subscribers',

'lists' => [

/*
* This key is used to identify this list. It can be used
* as the listName parameter provided in the various methods.
*
* You can set it to any string you want and you can add
* as many lists as you want.
*/
'subscribers' => [

/*
* When using the Mailcoach driver, this should be the Email list UUID
* which is displayed in the Mailcoach UI
*
* When using the MailChimp driver, this should be a MailChimp list id.
* http://kb.mailchimp.com/lists/managing-subscribers/find-your-list-id.
*/
'id' => env('NEWSLETTER_LIST_ID'),
],
],
];
```

### Using Mailcoach

To let this package work with Mailcoach, you need to install the Mailcoach SDK.

```bash
composer require spatie/mailcoach-sdk-php
```

Next, you must provide values for the API key, endpoint and `list.subscribers.id` in the config file. You'll find the API key and endpoint in the [Mailcoach](https://mailcoach.app) settings screen. The value for `list.subscribers.id` must be the UUID of an email list on Mailcoach. You'll find this value on the settings screen of an email list

### Using MailChimp

To use MailChimp, install this extra package.

```bash
composer require drewm/mailchimp-api
```

The `driver` key of the `newsletter` config file must be set to `Spatie\Newsletter\Drivers\MailChimpDriver::class`.

Next, you must provide values for the API key and `list.subscribers.id`. You'll find these values in the MailChimp UI.

The `endpoint` config value must be set to null.

## Usage

After you've installed the package and filled in the values in the config-file working with this package will be a breeze. All the following examples use the facade. Don't forget to import it at the top of your file.

```php
use Spatie\Newsletter\Facades\Newsletter;
```

### Subscribing, updating and unsubscribing

Subscribing an email address can be done like this:

```php
use Newsletter;

Newsletter::subscribe('[email protected]');
```

Let's unsubscribe someone:

```php
Newsletter::unsubscribe('[email protected]');
```

For Mailcoach, you can pass extra attributes as the second argument:

```php
Newsletter::subscribe('[email protected]', ['first_name' => 'Rince', 'last_name' => 'Wind']);
```

For MailChimp you can pass merge variables as the second argument:
```php
Newsletter::subscribe('[email protected]', ['FNAME'=>'Rince', 'LNAME'=>'Wind']);
```

You can subscribe someone to a specific list by passing a list name:
```php
Newsletter::subscribe('[email protected]', listName: 'subscribers');
```

That third argument is the name of a list you configured in the config file.

You can also subscribe and/or update someone. The person will be subscribed or updated if he/she is already subscribed:

```php
Newsletter::subscribeOrUpdate('[email protected]', ['first_name' => 'Rince', 'last_name' => 'Wind']);
```

For MailChimp, You can subscribe someone to one or more specific group(s)/interest(s) by using the fourth argument:

```php
Newsletter::subscribeOrUpdate(
'[email protected]',
['FNAME'=>'Rince','LNAME'=>'Wind'],
'subscribers',
['interests'=>['interestId'=>true, 'interestId'=>true]],
);
```

Simply add `false` if you want to remove someone from a group/interest.

Here's how to unsubscribe someone from a specific list:

```php
Newsletter::unsubscribe('[email protected]', 'subscribers');
```

### Deleting subscribers

Deleting is not the same as unsubscribing. Unlike unsubscribing, deleting a member will result in the loss of all history (add/opt-in/edits) as well as removing them from the list. In most cases, you want to use `unsubscribe` instead of `delete`.

Here's how to perform a delete:

```php
Newsletter::delete('[email protected]');
```

### Getting subscriber info

You can get information on a subscriber by using the `getMember` function:
```php
Newsletter::getMember('[email protected]');
```

For MailCoach, this will return an instance of `Spatie\Mailcoach\Resources|Subscriber`
For MailChimp, this will return an array with information on the subscriber.

If there's no one subscribed with that e-mail address the function will return `false`

There's also a convenient method to check if someone is already subscribed:

```php
Newsletter::hasMember('[email protected]'); //returns a boolean
```

In addition to this, you can also check if a user is subscribed to your list:

```php
Newsletter::isSubscribed('[email protected]'); //returns a boolean
```

### Need something else?

If you need more functionality you get an instance of the underlying API with

```php
$api = Newsletter::getApi();
```

If you're having trouble getting the MailChimp integration, you can see the last error with:

```php
Newsletter::getApi()->getLastError();
```
