How do I send a fax?
|
|
Answer:
|
You may send a fax by using any email service or program (i.e. Outlook, Hotmail,
Yahoo, GMail). Follow these three simple steps to send a fax:
- Make sure that the email account you are sending from has been registered with your
Workfax Pro account. (see below if unsure how)
- With your mail program or service, compose a new email with To: address in the form
of [email protected], where ‘faxnumber' is the full destination number you
wish to send to. E.g. [email protected].
- Attach the document you wish to fax and send. Your fax will be on it's way once
you receive the email confirmation.
To add an email address for sending outbound faxes - please login into your account
on our website, https://accounts.workfaxpro.com/.
You will need your 800 number and pin number provided to you at the time of sign
up. Under Preferences, select Sending Email, this
will bring you to the setup window for your outbound fax service. You may edit or
add additional email addresses to be enabled for sending faxes, and will receive
a confirmation email to the same address prompting you to validate the request.
You must validate each email address before you will be able to send outbound faxes
from that account! You may have up to 3 individual email addresses registered for
sending faxes at any one time. |

I sent a fax but did not receive the confirmation email?
|
|
Answer:
|
The confirmation email that your outbound fax has been received by Workfax Pro will
be sent to the email address used to send the fax. If you do not receive a confirmation
email within 5 minutes of sending your fax, please check your email for a junk or
spam folder. The email may have been re-routed to one of those folders. If you do
not see the confirmation email within a spam or junk folder you may need to allow
the "workfaxpro.com" domain name within your email program.
For more information please contact your email provider. |
