How to specify sender in Laravel 11 instead of declaring globally

I want to send email through smtp.gmail.com connection but with a sender declared in dynamic way.

MAIL_MAILER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME=""
MAIL_PASSWORD=
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=
MAIL_FROM_NAME="${APP_NAME}"

In above code I declared username, mail-from-address, password But I want to set sender in my controller dynamically to be more specific with Auth::user()->email . How to do that?

<?php

namespace AppMail;

use IlluminateBusQueueable;
use IlluminateContractsQueueShouldQueue;
use IlluminateMailMailable;
use IlluminateMailMailablesContent;
use IlluminateMailMailablesEnvelope;
use IlluminateQueueSerializesModels;

class TicketIssueEmail extends Mailable
{
    use Queueable, SerializesModels;
    public $msg;
    public  $sub;
    /**
     * Create a new message instance.
     */
    public function __construct($msg, $subject)
    {
        //
        $this->msg= $msg;
        $this->sub= $subject;
    }

    /**
     * Get the message envelope.
     */
    public function envelope(): Envelope
    {
        return new Envelope(
            subject:  $this->sub,
        );
    }

    /**
     * Get the message content definition.
     */
    public function content(): Content
    {
        return new Content(
            view: 'backend.customer.pages.email',
        );
    }

    /**
     * Get the attachments for the message.
     *
     * @return array<int, IlluminateMailMailablesAttachment>
     */
    public function attachments(): array
    {
        return [];
    }
}

This is my controller

 use AppMailTicketIssueEmail;
    use IlluminateSupportFacadesMail;
    public function ticket_add(Request $request)
    {
        $data = [];
        $admin = DB::table('users')->where('user_type','admin')>first();
        if ($request->isMethod('post')) {
            //dd($request->all());
       
            try {
               $ticket= Ticket::create([
                    'name' => $request->name,
                    'issue_date' =>date('Y-m-d', strtotime($request->issue_date)),
                    'description' => $request->description,
                    'created_by' => Auth::user()->id,
                   
                ]);
                $from=Auth::user()->email;
                $sender_name= Auth::user()->name;
                $to=$admin->email;
                $msg= $ticket->description;
                $subject= "New Ticket Named ". $ticket->name. " From ".  Auth::user()->name;
                Mail::to($to)->send(new  TicketIssueEmail($msg, $subject));
    
                return back()->with('success', 'Added Successfully');
            } catch (PDOException $e) {
                return back()->with('error', 'Failed Please Try Again'. $e);
            }
        }

Please help me out.

    You can pass custom sender parameters when dispatching your TicketIssueEmail, something like this:

    $senderEmail=Auth::user()->email;
$senderName= Auth::user()->name;
$to=$admin->email;
$msg= $ticket->description;
$subject= "New Ticket Named ". $ticket->name. " From ".  Auth::user()->name;
Mail::to($to)->send(new  TicketIssueEmail($msg, $subject, $senderEmail, $senderName));

    Then, inside the TicketIssueEmail, add load that parameter in constructor:

    public $msg;
public $sub;
public $senderEmail;
public $senderName;

/**
 * Create a new message instance.
 */
public function __construct($msg, $subject, $senderEmail, $senderName)
{
    $this->msg = $msg;
    $this->sub = $subject;
    $this->senderEmail = $senderEmail;
    $this->senderName = $senderName;
}

    Then, in the envelope() method, you can send a custom sender email:

    return new Envelope(
    subject: $this->sub,
    from: new Address($this->senderEmail, $this->senderName),
);

    Modify your TicketIssueEmail class: Add a constructor parameter for the from address (email and name) and use the from method to set it dynamically.

    <?php

namespace AppMail;

use IlluminateBusQueueable;
use IlluminateContractsQueueShouldQueue;
use IlluminateMailMailable;
use IlluminateMailMailablesContent;
use IlluminateMailMailablesEnvelope;
use IlluminateQueueSerializesModels;

class TicketIssueEmail extends Mailable
{
    use Queueable, SerializesModels;
    
    public $msg;
    public $sub;
    public $fromEmail;
    public $fromName;
    
   
    public function __construct($msg, $subject, $fromEmail, $fromName)
    {
        $this->msg = $msg;
        $this->sub = $subject;
        $this->fromEmail = $fromEmail;
        $this->fromName = $fromName;
    }

    
    public function envelope(): Envelope
    {
        return new Envelope(
            subject:  $this->sub,
            from: [$this->fromEmail => $this->fromName] // Set dynamic from email and name
        );
    }

    
    public function content(): Content
    {
        return new Content(
            view: 'backend.customer.pages.email',
        );
    }

   
    public function attachments(): array
    {
        return [];
    }
}

    Update your controller. Ensure that you use use IlluminateSupportFacadesAuth; ??

    use AppMailTicketIssueEmail;
use IlluminateSupportFacadesMail;
use IlluminateSupportFacadesAuth;

public function ticket_add(Request $request)
{
    $admin = DB::table('users')->where('user_type','admin')->first();

    if ($request->isMethod('post')) {
        try {
            $ticket = Ticket::create([
                'name' => $request->name,
                'issue_date' => date('Y-m-d', strtotime($request->issue_date)),
                'description' => $request->description,
                'created_by' => Auth::user()->id,
            ]);

            $fromEmail = Auth::user()->email;
            $fromName = Auth::user()->name;
            $to = $admin->email;
            $msg = $ticket->description;
            $subject = "New Ticket Named " . $ticket->name . " From " . Auth::user()->name;

            // Pass the fromEmail and fromName dynamically
            Mail::to($to)->send(new TicketIssueEmail($msg, $subject, $fromEmail, $fromName));

            return back()->with('success', 'Added Successfully');
        } catch (PDOException $e) {
            return back()->with('error', 'Failed, Please Try Again: ' . $e->getMessage());
        }
    }
}
