Short answer

How can I send and track faxes using my AI?

You tell your AI to transmit a file to a specific number, and it handles the global delivery. You can then ask your AI for updates on whether the document actually arrived. This setup gives you full visibility into your fax history.

The outcomes.

Where your fax tasks land.

The AI handles the heavy lifting of transmission and monitoring.

SENT

Successful transmissions

The AI pushes your files to international numbers. You get confirmation once the request is processed.

STATUS

Real-time delivery updates

Your agent checks the current state of any fax. You'll know if a document is pending, delivered, or failed.

HUMAN

Manual error handling

If a fax fails due to a bad number or invalid file, the AI flags it. You'll need to step in to fix the data or retry the send.

LOGS

Delivery history

The AI can pull status information for previous jobs. This keeps a clear record of what went where and when.

The workflow

What your AI does when you request a fax.

The AI manages the communication between your chat and the iFax network.

  1. Transmit documents

    The AI takes your file and the destination number to initiate the transmission.

  2. Monitor delivery

    The AI checks the network to see if the recipient's machine received the file.

  3. Report status

    The AI tells you exactly what happened with the transmission, such as 'delivered' or 'failed'.

    get_fax_status

  4. Flag issues
