        Route::get('/slack-mail/{name}', '\TimFeid\SlackLaravelMail\Controllers\SlackMailController@slackMail')
            ->name('slackmail');
    }

Extending the fields

You'll want to create service provider that extends SlackMailServiceProvider and overwrite the registerSlackFields method., _(*7)

<?php

namespace App\Providers;

use App\Services\Slack\SlackFields;
use TimFeid\SlackLaravelMail\SlackMailServiceProvider as BaseProvider;

class SlackMailServiceProvider extends BaseProvider
{
    public function registerSlackFields()
    {
        $this->app->singleton('slackmail.fields', SlackFields::class);
    }
}

Example SlackFields class

<?php

namespace App\Services\Slack;

use TimFeid\SlackLaravelMail\SlackFields as BaseSlackFields;

class SlackFields extends BaseSlackFields
{
    public function buildSendgridField()
    {
        return [
            'title' => 'Sendgrid Headers',
            'value' => '```'.json_encode([
                'categories' => $this->message->getCategories(),
                'custom_args' => $this->message->getArguments(),
            ], JSON_PRETTY_PRINT).'```',
        ];
    }
}
