¶ E-mail to Fax
This is a service that allows people to send faxes via e-mail.
Requires the e-mail to have the following structure:
- The e-mail subject represents a number where the fax will be sent to.
- The e-mail attachment will be the fax content that will be sent (the attachment must be in a PDF format).
NOTE: If the format is not PDF that e-mail will be skipped and deleted from the server.
NOTE: E-mail To Fax must be enabled in the license.
The e-mail can have multiple files attached, but there is a configurable limit on those files, default is max. 5 files per e-mail.

This option defines the number of seconds after which a failed Fax try will be requeued.

¶ Trunks
This option lets you select the primary, secondary and tertiary trunk for the E-mail to Fax feature. These trunks override the trunks set on the tenant/server level. You can choose the 'System default' option for each of these trunks which reads from the tenant/server level.
¶ E-mails Whitelist
Users can define certain email addresses or domains so they are whitelisted thus limiting who can send pdf files to this email. You can also enter a domain where all email addresses from that domain would be allowed to send pdf files. Alas, there is an option 'Allow all' where all email addresses are validated and allowed to send pdf files.
NOTE: In order to whitelist an entire domain, you will need to add @ in front of the domain name (i.e. @gmail.com), otherwise, system will return the error "Please enter a valid E-mail/Domain.".
¶ Example Configurations
¶ Gmail
Notes for Gmail Users
Some things need to be checked first before using the Gmail IMAP server. We need to enable IMAP and “less secure apps” option, because google needs to allow us to get the data from their servers.
Enabling IMAP
1. On your computer, open Gmail.
2. In the top right, click Settings Settings.
3. Click Settings.
4. Click the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab.
5. In the "IMAP Access" section, select Enable IMAP.
6. Click Save Changes.
Enabling Less Secure Apps
1. Open Gmail Account
2. Go to Sign-in & security
3. Find option "Allow less secure apps" and set it to ON
After doing these two steps try testing the connection by clicking the “Test” button. If the test is successful then disable and re-enable the application using the “Enable” Toggle. This will make the app reconnect to the server and you can start using it.
