Send a Fax with the Fax Application

How to send faxes through the portal and email

To send a fax select the New Fax button on your dashboard. This button is available on both the send and the received version of the dashboard. Upon clicking the New Fax button, a window will appear on the right side of your screen:

The application allows you to create an identifying name for your fax so that you can find the fax at a later time. This “Fax Name” is used internally for you only and will not appear on your fax.

After adding a “Fax Name” input the number that you want to send the fax to and select a number to use as your From number. You might have Direct Lines and Group Lines. For more information about this see here:

To add files to your fax you can either drag and drop filed into the window or select the “Browse Files” button. The application supports twenty files to be added to a single fax. When ready, click SEND!

The application supports the following file formats:

• jpg/jpeg
• png
• pdf
• doc
• tif/tiff
• docx
• odt
• txt.

Faxes that are in the process of sending will show up in your fax dashboard with their status:

When the fax has completed the status will be marked with a final status of either Success or Failure:

Send Fax via Email

Sending a fax using your email address is simple but will require that you know your fax number. Here's how you do it: 

1. Use the number that you want to send a fax to as the email address followed by @faxingnow.com
2. Use the number that you want the fax sent from as the Subject line of your email
3. If you want a cover page then add any information you want on the cover page as the Body  of your email. 
4. Attach supported files to your email and send it!

A few things to note here are that you can send with either a leading one or without. That is, an acceptable email address would be both: 18474141234@faxingnow.com as well as 8474141234@faxingnow.com. However, you should not have dashes in your email address because many email servers will fail the outgoing email.
