I suggest using Laravels queues, more specifically the Mailer::later and the Mailer::laterOn method for that regard. You can delay the sending of the mail and it's only getting executed once.
YourMailable::later(now()->addMinutes(10))
or without a mailable:
Mail::later(now()->addMinutes(10), 'emails.view', $data, function ($message) {
//
});
You can also specify a specifc queue within your Mailable:
use Illuminate\Mail\Mailable;
class YourMailable extends Mailable
{
protected string $queue = 'mails-queue';
// ...
}
With the Mail facade you can use the laterOn method:
Mail::laterOn('mails-queue', now()->addMinutes(10), 'emails.view', $data, function ($message) {
//
});
You can dispatch the job with the delay method.
For exampe this job will be run in one day from now:
dispatch(YourJob::class)->delay(now()->addDay());
