Step 1

Create SendWelcomeEmailNotification notification

php artisan make:notification SendWelcomeEmailNotification

Step 2

Create SendWelcomeEmail listener on user registration

php artisan make:listener SendWelcomeEmail --event=Illuminate\Auth\Events\Registered

Step 3

Open up App\Listeners\SendWelcomeEmail.php, add the following lines:

<?php

namespace App\Listeners;

use App\Notifications\SendWelcomeEmailNotification;
use Illuminate\Auth\Events\Registered;

class SendWelcomeEmail
{
    /**
     * Create the event listener.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct()
    {
        //
    }

    /**
     * Handle the event.
     *
     * @param  Registered  $event
     * @return void
     */
    public function handle(Registered $event)
    {
        $event->user->notify(
            new SendWelcomeEmailNotification()
        );
    }
}

Step 4

Then register App\Listeners\SenWelcomeEmail to Illuminate\Auth\Events\Registered in app\Providers\EventServiceProvider.php.

protected $listen = [
    'Illuminate\Auth\Events\Registered' => [
        'App\Listeners\SendWelcomeEmail',
    ],
];
