# Send defaults

The send defaults are typed option classes from options-for-laravel, in RoundlyConsulting\\Campaigns\\Options. Each falls back to its config/campaigns.php value until an option is stored — then the stored value wins, without a deploy:

```php
use RoundlyConsulting\Campaigns\Facades\Campaigns;
use RoundlyConsulting\Campaigns\Options\DefaultFromAddress;
use RoundlyConsulting\Campaigns\Options\DefaultFromName;
use RoundlyConsulting\Campaigns\Options\OnlyVerifiedRecipients;
use RoundlyConsulting\Options\Facades\Options;

Options::set(DefaultFromAddress::class, 'news@example.com');
Options::set(DefaultFromName::class, 'Example Shop');
Options::set(OnlyVerifiedRecipients::class, true);

// A from-less campaign now sends from news@example.com, and to($user)
// skips unverified contacts by default.
Campaigns::create('Spring sale', '<p>The spring sale starts today.</p>')->to($user)->dispatch();
```

## The options

| Option class | Registry key | Config seed | Type |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `DefaultFromName` | `campaigns.from-name` | `from-name` | string |
| `DefaultFromAddress` | `campaigns.from-address` | `from-address` | string |
| `DefaultChannel` | `campaigns.channel` | `notification-channel` | string |
| `DefaultSendingQueue` | `campaigns.sending-queue` | `sending-queue` | string |
| `OnlyVerifiedRecipients` | `campaigns.only-verified-recipients` | `recipients.only-verified` | boolean |
| `DefaultRecipientContactType` | `campaigns.recipient-contact-type` | `recipients.contact-type` | ContactType |

The keys are registered with the options registry at boot, so you can address an option by key as well as by class:

```php
Options::get('campaigns.from-address');       // by registered key — same as DefaultFromAddress::class
Options::forget(DefaultFromAddress::class);    // drop the stored value, back to config('campaigns.from-address')
```

## Precedence

- Explicit builder calls — ->from(), ->onlyVerified(), ->viaContactType() — always win.
- Then the stored option.
- Then the config value and its env variable.

Campaigns::settings() returns the values in effect right now — fromName(), fromAddress(), notificationChannel(), sendingQueue(), onlyVerifiedRecipients() and defaultRecipientContactType().

store, process-recipient-job and notification are config-only — they pick classes rather than send defaults. An invalid recipients.contact-type value throws InvalidConfigurationException — it no longer reads as email.
