Fax SMTP Email API
The UTBox dedicated enterprise grade fax platform has the ability to be used as a Fax SMTP Email API for applications requiring the delivery of faxes.
The Fax SMTP Email API specifically allows for applications with email capability to be used or modified to be able to send faxes. Reducing the lead time of deployment and making it easier for developers to leverage existing functionality.
How it works
- A user or condition triggers a request to send a fax on your application.
- Your application sends an email with the fax contents through your outbound SMTP server
- UTBox mail services receive the email with the fax contents and convert it to a fax image
- The fax is transmitted as fax over the PSTN to the destination number(s)
- The successful or failed transmission is reported by the fax server(s) and UTBox emails the originating email address to notify it of success or failure
- Your application handles the returned email and applies business rules based on the success or failure.
