Add attachments to campaign

[fxkopp]

Is it possible to add attachments to a campaign via Mailcoach API?

I think Mailcoach is using the underlying Laravel Mail function - so maybe there is a way to access this function?

Thanks!

Currently there's no full API for mailcoach, but we do plan on adding one in future.

So at the moment there is no way to manipulate (add attachment) the campaign before sending?

You could use a custom mailable for the campaign where you attach something to the mail

Cheers for your great Package! I had to comment on this issue as we encountered the same problem using latest laravel 7+, latest mailcoach 2+

There is one big issue with your SendMailAction which makes it impossible for us to use very custom mailables

Line 47,48 /* @var \Spatie\Mailcoach\Mails\CampaignMail $campaignMail / $campaignMail = app(CampaignMail::class);

Sure, we can use laravel's IOC container but what do we do, if we have very dynamic mailables?

To give you an idea. I'm not a superior developer but in fact, we need to do something like this

$campaignMail = MailableFactory::make($pendingSend->campaign);

And within that make method, something like

abstract class MailableFactory
{
    public static function make(Campaign $campaign): Mailable
    {
        $mailable = static::getMailable($campaign->slug);

        return (new $mailable())->setCampaign($campaign);
    }

    public static function getMailable(string $slug): ?string
    {
        // our secret project voodoo
    }
}

Which then results in veery different mailables - to meed our business rules. To give you an idea:

• App\Domain\Mailcoach\Mails\SpecialMailable
• App\Domain\Mailcoach\Mails\AnotherSpecialOne
• App\Domain\Mailcoach\Mails\ThisOneIsDifferentTooIndeed
• App\Domain\Mailcoach\Mails\SlightlyDifferentThanOtherOnes

and so on..

But hey, we are SO thankful, that we are able to override the SendMailAction actionable class. But in turn, we have to copy your code 1:1 into our codebase to change one line of code. Our maintenance will suffer from this.

Have a great day!
