php - Laravel Slack Notification not sent when using implements ShouldQueue

Question

I am struggling with dispatching a Slack notification when the Notification class implements ShouldQueue.

This is how I dispatch the notification

    /**
     * Handles the sendout of booking request confirmation to the customer 
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function sendCustomerNotifications()
    {
        $this->booking->customer->notify((new CustomerBookingRequested($this->booking)));
    }

This is how I my CustomerBookingRequested notification class looks like

class CustomerBookingRequested extends Notification implements ShouldQueue
{
    use Queueable;

    private $booking;
    /**
     * Create a new notification instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct(Booking $booking)
    {
        //
        $this->booking = $booking;
    }

    /**
     * Get the notification's delivery channels.
     *
     * @param  mixed  $notifiable
     * @return array
     */
    public function via($notifiable)
    {
        return ['mail','slack'];
    }
    ...
    //code for toMail
    ...

    /**
     * Get the Slack representation of the notification.
     *
     * @param  mixed  $notifiable
     * @return IlluminateNotificationsMessageSlackMessage
     */
    public function toSlack($notifiable)
    {

        return (new SlackMessage)
                        ->success()
                        ->content('New booking requested!');
    }

My Customer Model uses Notifiable

class Customer extends Model implements HasLocalePreference
{
    use HasFactory;
    use Billable;
    use SoftDeletes;
    use Notifiable;
...

I also added to my Customer Model the routing method

/**
     * Route notifications for the Slack channel.
     *
     * @param  IlluminateNotificationsNotification  $notification
     * @return string
     */
    public function routeNotificationForSlack($notification)
    {
        return env('SLACK_WEBHOOK');
    }

When I remove implements ShouldQueue from my Notification class, both Slack and Mail Message is sent. When I keep implements ShouldQueue, the Mail message is sent, Slack message is not sent.

I basically want to send the customer a mail notification with a booking confirmation. At the same time I want to send a Slack message to the team's slack workspace. That's why I just added a static webhook URL in the customer model which is linked to the company's slack workspace.

I am a bit stuck here. Probably it's something obvious, but I can't find what I do wrong.

Thanks for your support!
