Question

Using Workflow to send out faxes

SDK Workflow Version 10

Updated October 16, 2017

asked on October 13, 2017 • Show version history

I have a customer that needs to fax over 20,000 pages.

They only do this once a year and the Fax Service is not a solution they want to do.

Has anyone used workflow to send out faxes to a fax driver or fax server using an API or SDK?

Just wanting to know if anyone has experience doing this or hear from Laserfiche Developers are how to go about this.

Hey,

I don't think this is something that laserfiche supports natively, and any solution you get will depend heavily on the infrastructure of your client.

This may help as a starting point, its not a direct solution but it does have some of the building blocks you may need. https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/1159834/Send-Fax-with-fax-modem-in-Csharp

Depending on what documents you are trying to send you may be able to generate the document in a workflow download it to a local path on the server(or maybe use a file stream?) then call a modified version of this code to trigger the fax parsing the file into the FaxDocument body.

This is all theoretical, if I had the time id do some testing for you. Hope it helps.
