Laravel Plunk

A Laravel mail transport for Plunk with event tracking and email verification. Works with both the official Plunk service and self-hosted instances.

Requirements

• PHP 8.2+
• Laravel 10, 11, or 12

Installation

composer require marceloeatworld/plunk-laravel

Publish the config file:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="plunk-config"

Configuration

Add the Plunk mailer to config/mail.php:

'mailers' => [
    // ... other mailers

    'plunk' => [
        'transport' => 'plunk',
    ],
],

Add to your .env:

MAIL_MAILER=plunk
PLUNK_API_KEY=sk_your_secret_key

For self-hosted Plunk:

PLUNK_API_URL=https://plunk.yourdomain.com
PLUNK_API_ENDPOINT=/api/v1/send

Usage

Sending Emails (Laravel Mail)

Use Laravel's mail system as usual -- emails are sent through Plunk automatically:

Mail::to('user@example.com')->send(new WelcomeMail());

Attachments, CC, BCC, and reply-to are all supported:

Mail::to('user@example.com')
    ->cc('manager@example.com')
    ->bcc('audit@example.com')
    ->send(new InvoiceMail());

Direct API Access (Facade)

Use the Plunk facade for direct API access:

use MarceloEatWorld\PlunkLaravel\Facades\Plunk;

// Send email directly
Plunk::sendEmail('user@example.com', 'Welcome', '<h1>Hello!</h1>', [
    'from' => 'hello@yourdomain.com',
    'name' => 'Your App',
    'reply' => 'support@yourdomain.com',
]);

// Send with a Plunk template
Plunk::sendTemplate('user@example.com', 'tmpl_welcome', [
    'name' => 'John',
    'action_url' => 'https://app.example.com/verify',
]);

Event Tracking

Track events to trigger automations and segment contacts:

Plunk::trackEvent('user@example.com', 'signed_up', [
    'plan' => 'pro',
    'source' => 'landing_page',
]);

Email Verification

Verify email addresses before sending:

$result = Plunk::verifyEmail('user@example.com');

if ($result['data']['valid']) {
    // Email is valid
}

Multiple Recipients with Names

Plunk::sendEmail(
    [
        'alice@example.com',
        ['name' => 'Bob Smith', 'email' => 'bob@example.com'],
    ],
    'Team Update',
    '<p>Hello team!</p>',
);

Attachments (Direct API)

Plunk::sendEmail('user@example.com', 'Your Invoice', '<p>Attached.</p>', [
    'from' => 'billing@yourdomain.com',
    'attachments' => [
        [
            'filename' => 'invoice.pdf',
            'content' => base64_encode(file_get_contents('/path/to/invoice.pdf')),
            'contentType' => 'application/pdf',
        ],
    ],
]);
