How to get this working for guests?

[kirkbushell]

I've been trying for a couple of hours now to send push messages to guests of our website, but no matter what I do it seems to run afoul of the way Laravel wants to work - that being, using some sort of Notifiable class, such as User.

Anyone have suggestions as to how to make this work?

Simple, create a class with any name (i.e. Guests) in the App Dir, as below.

<?php
namespace App;

use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;

class Guests{
    use Notifiable;

    public function routeNotificationForPusherPushNotifications() : string{
        return 'guests_users';
    }
}

And then in your controller, repo etc. send the notification as:
Notification::send(new Guests(), new NewInvoice($invoice));

On the client side subscribe your users/devices to the guests_users interest.

That works, but what if you want to send also a email?

$users = User::all();
Notification::send($users, new NewVersionRelease($release));

Let's say you want pusher to send it via the "guest" interest, but for mail it needs to send to each individual email address,
also, if the routeNotificationForPusherPushNotifications() return guests_users it will create one push notification for each user to the same interests. i will fail.
