Can workflow use windows fax service?

asked on June 8, 2017

Just as the topic name states, can workflow integrate with windows fax services? If anyone has done this before could you relay some information? The current use case is that instead of workflow sending out an e-mail a fax would be sent instead.

You could look into the Fax Service API and try working that into a .NET script within the Workflow. MSDN should have sample VB code for sending a fax somewhere, so that might be a good place to start.

However, depending on what you have in the way of a fax server/manager, there might be easier ways to make this work. We have a fax manager set up to turn email attachments into faxes when they are sent to a specific address/domain, which should also work with a workflow-generated email.

If you have the ability configure an email-to-fax service with an existing fax server, that would probably be a lot easier to configure and maintain than scripts in a workflow.
