23. Mail & Notifications

Sending emails and multi-channel alerts.

Mailable classes (php artisan make:mail) define emails with Blade views, and are sent via Mail::to($user)->send(new OrderShipped($order)). Notifications go further, supporting multiple channels (mail, database, SMS via Vonage, Slack) from a single notification class. Notifications can implement ShouldQueue to send asynchronously.
