Laravel Jobs allow you to queue up processes to be done at a later date, this is normally reserved for longer running tasks or tasks that need to communicate with a third party. As Jobs run in the background on a queue there is no instant response to when and how they failed, therefore we need to find a way of alerting you to the failed jobs and why they failed.
If you want to handle the failure of jobs differently per job you can add a failed method to your job class.
From this failed event we're going to use the Laravel Notifications class to send the alert to the slack channel.
There is a nice interface in Laravel to sending Slack messages, we will use this to construct the slack message and attach the exception to the message.
