Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- [Sign up](https://www.messagebird.com/en/signup) for a free Bird account
- Create a new access\_key in the developers sections

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require vikilaboy/laravel-bird-notifications
```

for Laravel 5.4 or lower, you must add the service provider to your config:

```
// config/app.php
'providers' => [
    ...
    NotificationChannels\Bird\BirdServiceProvider::class,
],
```

Setting up your Bird account
----------------------------

[](#setting-up-your-bird-account)

Add the environment variables to your `config/services.php`:

```
// config/services.php
...
    'bird' => [
        'access_key' => env('BIRD_ACCESS_KEY'),
        'originator' => env('BIRD_ORIGINATOR'),
        'workspace' => env('BIRD_WORKSPACE'),
        'channel' => env('BIRD_CHANNEL'),
    ],
...
```

Add your Bird Access Key, Default originator (name or number of sender), and default recipients to your `.env`:

```
// .env
...
BIRD_ACCESS_KEY=
BIRD_ORIGINATOR=
BIRD_WORKSPACE=
BIRD_CHANNEL=
...
```

Notice: The originator can contain a maximum of 11 alfa-numeric characters.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Now you can use the channel in your `via()` method inside the notification:

```
use NotificationChannels\Bird\BirdChannel;
use NotificationChannels\Bird\BirdMessage;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notification;

class VpsServerOrdered extends Notification
{
    public function via($notifiable)
    {
        return [BirdChannel::class];
    }

    public function toMessagebird($notifiable)
    {
        return (new BirdMessage("Your {$notifiable->service} was ordered!"));
    }
}
```

Additionally you can add recipients (single value or array)

```
return (new BirdMessage("Your {$notifiable->service} was ordered!"))->setRecipients($recipients);
```

In order to handle a status report you can also set a reference

```
return (new BirdMessage("Your {$notifiable->service} was ordered!"))->setReference($id);
```
