    return ['notification-api'];
}

Add the method public function toNotificationApi($notifiable) to your notification:

//...

public function toNotificationApi($notifiable) 
{
    return [
        "notificationId" => "notification_example",
        "user" => [
            "id" => $notifiable->getAttribute('id'),

        "mergeTags" => [
            "userName" => auth()->user()->name,
            "clickAction" => config('app.env')."/example"
        ]
    ];

example of notification send

*Attention: To call notification by the user model, the User model must be "Notifiable" Trait

    class User extends Authenticatable
    {
        use Notifiable;
        //...

#notify one user
$user->notify((new SomeNotification(..)));

#notify multiple users
Notification::send($users, new SomeNotification(..);

Extra: Helpers

After install and configure we can use the library calling the helper notification_api or class NotificationApiService

Example:

$data = [
  "notificationId" => "order_tracking",
  "user" => [
    "id" => "[email protected]",
    "email" => "[email protected]",
    "number" => "+15005550006"

  "mergeTags" => [
    "item" => "Krabby Patty Burger",
    "address" => "124 Conch Street",
    "orderId" => "1234567890"
  ]
];

$result = notification_api($data);
#or
$result = (new NotificationApiService)->send($data)
