Laravel send mail when status change

I have created an Event and Listener. When a user's profile is updated it's gonna trigger and send the email.

boot method in User model:

public static function boot()
{
    parent::boot();
    static::updated(function ($user) {
        if ($user->user_status == 'Active') {
            event(new UserStatusChangeEvent($user));
        }
    });
}

The UserStatusChangeEvent event class looks like this:

class UserStatusChangeEvent
{
    use Dispatchable, InteractsWithSockets, SerializesModels;

    public $user;

    public function __construct($user)
    {
        $this->user = $user;
    }
}

I am adding the listener in EventServiceProvider's $listen variable:

UserStatusChangeEvent::class => [
    UserStatusChangeListener::class,
],

And in the listener, I am sending mail by using the Mail Facade.

Now the thing is this is sending emails to all users whose status is Active and updated their profiles. But I want this to trigger when user_status becomes Active not on anything else.

Like there are 2 fields in users table user_status and is_active when the user logged in the is_active will become 1 and when the user logged out the status becomes 0 now if the user logged in or out, the event in boot method will trigger if the status is active but I want this to trigger when only status column changes should not trigger if is_active changes

As you explained, you only want this to trigger when the column user_status changes. But when the user logs in or out, you change is_active, and because the user already has user_status = "Active" it will trigger every time you do any change to the user (except changing user_status).

So, to see if user_status was updated, you can take advantage of the dirty status.

static::updated(function ($user) {
    if ($user->wasChanged('user_status') && $user->user_status === 'Active') {
        event(new UserStatusChangeEvent($user));
    }
});

See that I used wasChanged.
