Basic Delayed Notification Example (1 week)

1. Add the SnoozeNotifiable trait to your notifiable model

2. Create the basic notification: php artisan make:notification OneWeekAfterNotice

3. Get the datetime for when we should send the notification

   • $sendAt = Carbon::now()->addDays(7) // 7 days from now
   • Here is a reference to Carbon if you need help creating future dates
   • Note: Make sure you have imported carbon with use Carbon\Carbon; at the top of your file

4. Schedule the notification for a notifiable User

Auth::user()->notifyAt(new OneWeekAfterNotice(), $sentAt);

4. Our notification will be saved in our scheduled_notifications table, and will be sent the first time our snooze:send command runs following the $send_at date.

Note: If you want to test, set the "sendAt" value to now (Carbon::now()) instead of 1 week. Then run `php artisan snooze:send` in your console.
