# Error handling
How to handle notification send errors
If for any reason there would be an error when sending a notification it will fire a
Illuminate\Notifications\Events\NotificationFailed event. You can then listen for that.
Example:
Event::listen(NotificationFailed::class, function($event){
info('Error while sending sms');
});
And the event has $event->notifiable, $event->notification, $event->channel and $event->data(where you have the exception at $event->data['exception'])
