Laravel email works over a popular mailer library that is the SwiftMailer. This is an inbuilt library in Laravel. It allows us to integrate several mail drivers for sending emails. You can use SMTP and API based drivers to send emails in Laravel. I already shared tutorials for integrating the SMTP like Gmail and Mailgun. But, today, in this post, I will show you the integration of Twilio Sendgrid with Laravel 8. The SendGrid is an email service. By using the Sendgrid, you can send emails, marketing campaigns such as automation, etc. Also, it provides the features to track sent emails, activities on email like open, click, etc. So, let’s create a new project in Laravel 8 and integrate this SendGrid SMTP to send emails.
