Customizing the logging process

The ConvertNotificationSendingEventToLogItemAction class determines how notifications will get logged by default. It contains many methods that can be overridden to customize how notifications will get logged.

To override methods, start by creating a class of your own that extends the default ConvertNotificationSendingEventToLogItemAction action. Override any method you want from the base class.

In the following example, we'll create a custom action that will use the base name of a class instead of the fqcn to use as the type.

use Spatie\NotificationLog\Actions\ConvertNotificationSendingEventToLogItemAction;

class CustomConversionAction extends ConvertNotificationSendingEventToLogItemAction
{
    protected function getNotificationType(NotificationSending $event): string
    {
        $notification = $event->notification;

        return class_basename($notification);
    }
}

You should register your custom class in the actions.convertEventToModel key of the notification-log config file.

return [
    // ...

    'actions' => [
        'convertEventToModel' => CustomConversionAction::class,
    ],
]
