Mail problem rendering view with data with two arrays

Hello. I have a row action which lets users send email with attached Pdf with some info about the record. Everything works fine. Now I want the user can change subject and body of the email and I have included a form and user can type.

 Action::make('enviarporEmail')->label('')->modalDescription('ddd')
  ->form([
      TextInput::make('email')
          ->label('Email al que enviar:')
          ->email()
          ->default(Auth()->user()->email)
          ->required(),
      TextInput::make('asunto')
             ...

 Action::make('enviarporEmail')->label('')->modalDescription('ddd')
  ->form([
      TextInput::make('email')
          ->label('Email al que enviar:')
          ->email()
          ->default(Auth()->user()->email)
          ->required(),
      TextInput::make('asunto')
             ...

And it works fine till then. I launch the mail with the data:

->action(function (array $data,Expediente $record) {
    $receivers = $data['email'];
            $expediente = Expediente::find($record->id);
            Mail::to($receivers)
            ->send(new ExpedienteCarpetaEmail ($expediente, $data));
})

And I can check inside the __construct of the mail controller that data arrives correctly:
    public $expediente;
    public $data;
    public function __construct(Expediente $expediente, $data)
    {
        // dd($data);
        if (!$data['asunto']) {
            $this->subject('Información del expediente ' . $expediente->numExp);
        } else {
            $this->subject($data['asunto']);
        }
        $this->expediente = $expediente;
        Pdf::view('expedientes.carpetaA4', ['expediente' => $expediente])
        ->format('a4')
        ->save('carpeta-'. $expediente->numExp .'.pdf');
        // $this->content('expedientes.email', $data = $data);
        $this->content(fn () => view('expedientes.email', ['expediente' => $expediente, 'data' => $data]));
        $this->attach('carpeta-'. $expediente->numExp .'.pdf');
    }

And inside the final view (expedientes.email) of the final step it thows an error of:
Undefined variable $data (View: ...

->action(function (array $data,Expediente $record) {
    $receivers = $data['email'];
            $expediente = Expediente::find($record->id);
            Mail::to($receivers)
            ->send(new ExpedienteCarpetaEmail ($expediente, $data));
})

And I can check inside the __construct of the mail controller that data arrives correctly:
    public $expediente;
    public $data;
    public function __construct(Expediente $expediente, $data)
    {
        // dd($data);
        if (!$data['asunto']) {
            $this->subject('Información del expediente ' . $expediente->numExp);
        } else {
            $this->subject($data['asunto']);
        }
        $this->expediente = $expediente;
        Pdf::view('expedientes.carpetaA4', ['expediente' => $expediente])
        ->format('a4')
        ->save('carpeta-'. $expediente->numExp .'.pdf');
        // $this->content('expedientes.email', $data = $data);
        $this->content(fn () => view('expedientes.email', ['expediente' => $expediente, 'data' => $data]));
        $this->attach('carpeta-'. $expediente->numExp .'.pdf');
    }

And inside the final view (expedientes.email) of the final step it thows an error of:
Undefined variable $data (View: ...

The view can manage $expediente->whateverfield correctly but $data is undefined. Any ideas, please?

I solved it!!! Looking at the official info from Laravel: https://laravel.com/docs/11.x/mail#configuring-the-view I don't have to pass the data in the ->content(...) It has to be added to the content function itself:

    public function content(): Content
    {
        return new Content(
            view: 'expedientes.email',
            with: ['data' => $this->data],
        );
    }

    public function content(): Content
    {
        return new Content(
            view: 'expedientes.email',
            with: ['data' => $this->data],
        );
    }

The with: is the solution to add extra data apart from the Expediente resource data.
