README

A Laravel 6.0+ Package that allows you to get simple sending statistics for emails you send through SES, including deliveries, opens, bounces, complaints and link tracking.

This is a revamped version of oliveready7/laravel-ses package, updated to support Laravel v6.0+ and some bug fixes. Primarily I revamped this package so it's suitable to be used in my company project with Laravel v6.0+.

Here are the differences between original package and this package:

1. All the namespace are changed to DavidNeal/LaravelSesTracker
2. Service provider is now LaravelSesTrackerServiceProvider
3. All the tables name are prefixed with laravel_ses_tracker instead of laravel_ses
4. New unsubscribe column in sent_emails (TODO)
5. Config file is now config/laravel-ses-tracker.php instead of config/laravelses.php
6. Routes are unchanged, they are still prefixed with /laravel-ses

Apart from the above listed differences, there are not much more difference between this package and oliveready7's package.

Install via composer

Add to composer.json

composer require davidneal/laravel-ses-tracker

Make sure your app/config/services.php has SES values set

'ses' => [
    'key' => your_ses_key,
    'secret' => your_ses_secret,
    'domain' => your_ses_domain,
    'region' => your_ses_region,
],

Important to note that if you're using an IAM, it needs access to SNS (for deliveries, bounces and complaints) as well as SES

Make sure your mail driver located in app/config/mail.php is set to 'ses'

Publish public assets

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=public --force

Migrate the package's database tables

php artisan migrate

Optionally you can publish the package's config (laravel-ses-tracker.php)

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=config

Config Options

• aws_sns_validator - whether the package uses AWS's SNS validator for inbound SNS requests. Default = false

Run command in production to setup Amazon email notifications to track bounces, complaints and deliveries. Make sure in your configuration your app URL is set correctly.

If your application uses the http protocol instead of https add the --http flag to this command

php artisan setup:sns

Usage

To send an email with all tracking enabled

SesMail::enableAllTracking()
    ->to('hello@example.com')
    ->send(new Mailable);

All tracking allows you to track opens, bounces, deliveries, complaints and links

You can, of course, disable and enable all the tracking options

SesMail::disableAllTracking();
SesMail::disableOpenTracking();
SesMail::disableLinkTracking();
SesMail::disableBounceTracking();
SesMail::disableComplaintTracking();
SesMail::disableDeliveryTracking();


SesMail::enableAllTracking();
SesMail::enableOpenTracking();
SesMail::enableLinkTracking();
SesMail::enableBounceTracking();
SesMail::enableComplaintTracking();
SesMail::enableDeliveryTracking();

The setEmailId option gives you the chance to group emails via a foreign id, so you can get the results for a specific email of your own.

SesMail::enableAllTracking()
    ->setEmailId($email->id)
    ->to('hello@example.com')
    ->send(new Mailable);

You can manipulate the results manually by querying the database. Or you can use functions that come with the package.

SesMail::statsForEmail('welcome_emails');

//example result
[
    "send_count" => 8,
    "deliveries" => 7,
    "opens" => 4,
    "bounces" => 1,
    "complaints" => 2,
    "click_throughs" => 3,
    "link_popularity" => collect([
        "https://welcome.page" => [
            "clicks" => 3
        ],
        "https://facebook.com/brand" => [
            "clicks" => 1
        ]
    ])
]

Send count = number of emails that were attempted

Deliveries = number of emails that were delivered

Opens = number of emails that were opened

Complaints = number of people that put email into spam

Click throughs = number of people that clicked at least one link in your email

Link Popularity = number of unique clicks on each link in the email, ordered by the most clicked.
