Step 1. Install Slack notification channel

Before you can send notifications via Slack, you must install the Slack notification channel via Composer:

composer require laravel/slack-notification-channel

Step 2. Create and configure Notification

In Laravel, each notification is represented by a single class that is typically stored in the app/Notifications directory. Don't worry if you don't see this directory in your application - it will be created for you when you run the make:notification Artisan command:

php artisan make:notification SendNotification

Next configure file app/Notification/SendNotification

<?php
namespace App\Notifications;
use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Messages\MailMessage;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notification;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Messages\SlackMessage;
class SendNotification extends Notification
{
   use Queueable;
   private $user;
   public function __construct($user)
   {
      $this->user = $user;
   }
