Laravel 4.x provide n number of sending email library such as mandrill,sendgrid etc. These all library are used to send bulk email. To use Sendgrid in our Laravel project we have to follow few steps. By this way we can implement Sendgrid in our Laravel project. The steps are:

Step 1:

First create a sendgrid account. To sign up with sendgrid follow the below link:

https://sendgrid.com/home/b

Step 2:

In second step we will set the configuration setting. For setting configuration setting we have to go to the

app/config/mail.php and In app/config/mail.php you need to configure these settings:

<?php

return array(
  'driver' => 'smtp',
  'host' => 'smtp.sendgrid.net',
  'port' => 587,
  'from' => array('address' => 'from@example.com', 'name' => 'John Smith'),
  'encryption' => 'tls',
  'username' => 'sendgrid_username',
  'password' => 'sendgrid_password',
);

?>

In this we have to just mention the sendgrid username and password.

Step 3:

Now just use Laravel mail class and all mail will send through SendGrid. The syntax for sending mail is:

<?php

Mail::send('emails.demo', $data, function($message)
{
    $message->to('ankit@example.com', 'Ankit  Bhatia')->subject('This is a demo!');
});

?>

In the above example instead of demo just send the email template name which you have created and in data section send the data which you want to send in your mail section.

By this way we can send mail using SendGrid using laravel 4.x framework.
