About This Episode:
Sending emails is where your application officially leaves the sandbox and enters the real world.
In this video, we finish the Survey Invites feature by wiring up Laravel Mail—covering everything from configuration to creating and sending real email invitations.
Along the way, we clean up loose ends, refactor problem areas, and tighten up the user experience so the system feels intentional, not accidental.
What you’ll learn in this lesson:
✨ Refactoring and cleanup after major feature work
🔐 Managing invite-only surveys correctly
📬 Laravel mail drivers, transports, and configuration
📨 Creating a Mailable class
🚀 Sending survey invite emails (dev + prod-ready)
🧩 UI improvements and edge-case handling
No Livewire. No shortcuts. Just clear MVC design, maintainable code, and real-world Laravel patterns you can reuse with confidence.
🎯 Up Next:
Automated notifications using jobs and queues — taking survey invites to the next level.
💥 About the Series:
Pragmatic Laravel focuses on building real applications with Laravel — emphasizing clarity, maintainability, and thoughtful design decisions instead of shortcuts or magic.
