The Basics- How it works

    1
    Sign into your Sfax account.  Don't have one yet?  Fill this out and we'll get you started with a trial account.  
    NOTE: You will need to be on a plan of $99/month or more to use the API in production.  To offer maximum flexibility, we have a true developer RESTful API, not just a plugin. You will need to have a developer who understands and writes code in order to integrate.
    2
    Add users and make sure that you have activated the user(s) you will be making the calls for.  
    3
    Generate API credentials for each user you'll be making the calls for.     
    3
    Use the SendFax method call to send documents from your application to our server to be faxed out and the ReceiveInboundFax call to Receive faxes into your application.  See:  Service Methods and  Code Samples .  You'll be able to use our Fax cover pages for sending, and you can also apply barcodes if you'd like.
    4
    Use the ReceiveOutboundFax method call to get information for all faxes that have completed since your last call; and configure the Fax Callback alerts to be sent when a fax is sent and successfully received.  (We can also read barcodes coming in and provide you with that data.)
    5
    Use the DownloadInboundFax or DownloadOutboundFax method calls to download the fax document in TIF or PDF format when/if needed.  See: Service Methods and  Code Samples
