Learn how to integrate SMS notifications in Laravel 10/11 for Morocco with EnvoiSMS. Covers custom notification channels, queues, and +212 formatting.
Integrating SMS into Laravel applications is seamless. Install the EnvoiSMS package or create a custom notification driver. Add your credentials (ENVOISMS_API_KEY) in your .env and config/services.php files.
Build a dedicated notification channel EnvoiSmsChannel with a send($notifiable, Notification $notification) method that extracts the recipient phone number and dispatches the HTTP request via Laravel's Http::withToken() facade.
Validate phone numbers strictly using regex rules in Laravel FormRequests: regex:/^(\+212|0)([67])[0-9]{8}$/. Convert matching numbers to E.164 format before persisting to the database.
Always dispatch notifications via queue workers (implements ShouldQueue). This guarantees instant response times for web requests while workers deliver SMS messages in the background with automatic retry handling.

Local routes to IAM, Orange and Inwi, with automatic failover between routes and delivery status sent by webhook.
