                ->title($e->getMessage())
                ->danger()
                ->send();
        } else {
            Notification::make()

                ->send();
        }
    }
}

protected function handleRecordCreation(array $data): Model
{
    try {
        //..
        Mail::to($created->customer)->send(new TicketCreated($title));
        return $created;
    } catch (Exception $e) {
        if (App::environment('local')) {
            Notification::make()
                ->title($e->getMessage())
                ->danger()
                ->send();
        } else {
            Notification::make()
                ->title('Something went wrong')
                ->danger()
                ->send();
        }
    }
}

You are not returning an instance of the Model outside of the try

Yes I know that I want to send a notification that there was an error before creating the record

Josh777•13mo ago

Then you will probably want to try this in an Observer class instead, using creating / create methods

LancelotGamerOP•13mo ago

    protected function beforeCreate(): void
    {
        // Runs before the form fields are saved to the database.
    }

    protected function beforeCreate(): void
    {
        // Runs before the form fields are saved to the database.
    }

I don't want to use Observers / beforeCreate() method because I have DB::transaction()

Do you have more context?
