Meet MailAPI

MailAPI is a Laravel package that provides an API for email sending as a microservice, designed to efficiently handle multiple email clients without the need to repeat configurations. This tool allows businesses to centrally and seamlessly manage their transactional emails, offering a robust and scalable solution for customer communication.

Key Features:

• Email Sending Microservice: MailAPI is conceived as a microservice, enabling easy integration with various applications and services, optimizing email management from a single platform.

• Centralized Configuration: Eliminates configuration redundancy by centralizing all email sending settings in one place. This simplifies administration and reduces configuration errors.

• Queues and Jobs: Implements queues and jobs for email sending, ensuring efficient delivery of messages and optimally handling large volumes of emails.

• Logging and Monitoring: Includes features for logging and monitoring sent emails, allowing businesses to track the status and history of emails, as well as manage errors and exceptions.
