The application allows you to create an identifying name for your fax so that you can find the fax at a later time. This “Fax Name” is used internally for you only and will not appear on your fax.

After adding a “Fax Name” input the number that you want to send the fax to and select a number to use as your From number. You might have Direct Lines and Group Lines. For more information about this see here

Send Fax via Email

Sending a fax using your email address is simple but will require that you know your fax number. Here's how you do it: 
  1. Use the number that you want to send a fax to as the email address followed by @faxingnow.com
  2. Use the number that you want the fax sent from as the Subject line of your email
  3. If you want a cover page then add any information you want on the cover page as the Body  of your email. 
  4. Attach supported files to your email and send it!
A few things to note here are that you can send with either a leading one or without. That is, an acceptable email address would be both: 18474141234@faxingnow.com as well as 8474141234@faxingnow.com. However, you should not have dashes in your email address because many email servers will fail the outgoing email.
