            ]);
        } catch (\Exception $e) {

    \Mail::to($subscription->customer->email)
        ->send(new \App\Mail\SubscriptionCancelledMail($subscription, $website));
} catch (\Exception $e) {
    \Log::error('Failed to send subscription cancellation email', [
        'subscription_id' => $subscription->id,
        'error' => $e->getMessage()
    ]);
}
```

## 🎨 Email Appearance

All emails use Laravel's built-in markdown email components with a professional, branded appearance.

### Standard Components Used:

**@component('mail::message')** - Main email wrapper
**@component('mail::panel')** - Highlighted information boxes
**@component('mail::button')** - Call-to-action buttons
**@component('mail::subcopy')** - Footer notes and disclaimers

### Customization:

To customize email branding, publish Laravel's mail views:
```bash
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=laravel-mail
```

Edit the published files in `resources/views/vendor/mail/`.

---

## 🧪 Testing Emails

### Test in Development:

**Option 1: Use Mailtrap** (Recommended)
```env
# .env
MAIL_MAILER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.mailtrap.io
MAIL_PORT=2525
MAIL_USERNAME=your_mailtrap_username
MAIL_PASSWORD=your_mailtrap_password
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
```

**Option 2: Use Log Driver**
```env
MAIL_MAILER=log
```

Emails will be written to `storage/logs/laravel.log`

### Test Sending:

```php
// In tinker: php artisan tinker

$subscription = \App\Models\CustomerSubscription::first();
$website = $subscription->website;

// Test welcome email
\Mail::to('test@example.com')->send(new \App\Mail\SubscriptionCreatedMail($subscription, $website));

// Test low credits
\Mail::to('test@example.com')->send(new \App\Mail\LowCreditsWarningMail($subscription, $website));

// Test trial ending
\Mail::to('test@example.com')->send(new \App\Mail\TrialEndingMail($subscription, $website));

// Test cancellation
\Mail::to('test@example.com')->send(new \App\Mail\SubscriptionCancelledMail($subscription, $website));
```

## 📊 Email Analytics (Future Enhancement)

Track email open rates and click-through rates:

- SendGrid (with event webhooks)
- Postmark (with bounce/open tracking)

## 🚀 Production Checklist

Before going live:

- [ ] Configure production SMTP (Mailgun, SendGrid, SES, etc.)
- [ ] Test all 4 email types

- [ ] Test on multiple email clients (Gmail, Outlook, etc.)
- [ ] Enable email queuing for performance

## ⚡ Performance Optimization

### Queue Emails for Better Performance:

**Update mail classes to implement `ShouldQueue`:**
```php
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;

class SubscriptionCreatedMail extends Mailable implements ShouldQueue
{
    // ... rest of class
}
```

**Configure queue driver:**
```env
QUEUE_CONNECTION=database
# or
QUEUE_CONNECTION=redis
```

**Run queue worker:**
```bash
php artisan queue:work
```
