在laravel预约前一小时发送通知

Question

In my application, I am trying to do something like this,

When a meeting is scheduled, a mail is sent out with the details. This is working already.

Addition to this, I would also like to send out a mail and message prior to one hour before the meeting.

How can I do this?

Should I calculate the time from meeting_scheduled_time when the meeting details are saved and then maybe set a cron on schedule? I am not able to see a approach to do this, efficiently.

A year is passed since you asked your question and now many things have been changed, laravel 5.3 introduced Notifications which does what you ask for, you can notify into different channels like telegram, sms and.. however, you need cron jobs since you are scheduling your notifications.

Hope it help others :)
