How retrieve Mailgun Delivered Message in Laravel

In my Node.js application, I followed the Mailgun docs https://documentation.mailgun.com/en/latest/quickstart-sending.html#send-with-smtp-or-api for sending an email similar to the following:

mailgun.messages().send(data, (error, body) => {
  console.log(body);

// body is {id: some_mailgun_built_id, message: 'Queued. Thank You'}
// which I store the body.id in my database

});

The issue I am faced with is how can I access that same Mailgun response when I send an email with Laravel? The Mailgun docs don't provide any examples showing how to retrieve that data.

This is how I am sending emails with Laravel:

\Mail::to($recipients)->send(
  // this just renders my blade file which formats my email
  new SendEmail($email);
);
// ?? How to get Message was sent object here

If anyone knows of any solution it would be greatly appreciated!

Hello and Welcome to SO!

Laravel has two events for the emails as explained in the official documentation: MessageSending and MessageSent

You can follow the events official documentation in order to listen for these specific events:

/**
 * The event listener mappings for the application.
 *
 * @var array
 */
protected $listen = [
    'Illuminate\Mail\Events\MessageSending' => [
        'My\Email\Listener',
    ],
    'Illuminate\Mail\Events\MessageSent' => [
        'My\Other\Listener',
    ],
];

You will receive as input the Swift_message which contains a header that is the Mailgun ID you're looking for. Let's have a look at the MailgunTransport@send source code in order to understand what's going on behind the scenes:

/**
 * {@inheritdoc}
 */
public function send(Swift_Mime_SimpleMessage $message, &$failedRecipients = null)
{
     // [...]

     $response = $this->client->request(
         'POST',
         "https://{$this->endpoint}/v3/{$this->domain}/messages.mime",
         $this->payload($message, $to)
     );

     $message->getHeaders()->addTextHeader(
         'X-Mailgun-Message-ID', $this->getMessageId($response) // <-- HERE LARAVEL SETS THE MESSAGE ID
     );

     // [...]
}

Looking for the same key in your listener you can recover the message ID that mailgun assigned to your e-mail. Unfortunately you can't access the entire Mailgun response but with the API you can easily retrieve your message.
