Assign a group of users to process incoming faxes
Use Case:
We have a couple groups of users who process incoming faxes. We are hoping to be able to assign the faxes to groups of users instead of just individual users. I know this can be done with tasks in Salesforce by assigning them to queues. I was hoping that faxes could also be assigned to queues rather than just a single user.
App Expert Reply:
You can create a Queue for the Received Fax object and assign a queue as the owner of the record instead of a user. You should also consider why you need to create a group for incoming faxes, for example determine if different types of faxes are going to certain group. Rather than creating a queue for assigned user group, you could have one list of faxes that need to be processed and whichever user can process the incoming faxes from refreshed list view, for example.
Using OCR Technology
Use Case:
I would like to receive a fax with data in form filled that our customer filled out and would like to be that data to automatically be enterted into Salesforce without us manually having to do it. What are my options for this?
Premium support team reply:
You can configure what is called OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology to read PDFs received from faxes. You would need to use another application or software or custom code something. A5 Fax will get the PDF into SF. Now you can process that PDF with some OCR technology to read values on the PDF. Depending on your form and what you are reading, you can get better results and there are a few options around this. There is some dev effort to build this and you can certainly get great efficiencies when you have a high quantity of records and the received fax is consistent. We recommend to test out some example PDF forms you would want to read data from with different services to see how well they read them. One example is https://docparser.com/
You can also setup a Console view in Salesforce to best go through a list of unprocessed received faxes and you click a received fax record in top frame and loads the fax PDF in the large frame below and then and easily update the related record fields you define in the left frame. This process allows for quick viewing and updating of records to create an efficient process of manual review. You need to do some analysis of the accuracy of OCR and the cost to get setup and decide what makes sense. Let support know if you may want some assistance to talk through process or help you get it setup with paid premium support.
Setup a Fax Forward
If you need to forward your incoming faxes to another fax number you can configure this as described below. Note that you will be charged for the received fax pages as well as the forwarded sent fax pages.
- Create a field on Received Fax object called “Fax Attachment ID”, a formula text field with formula: Right(efaxapp__Fax_URL__c,18)
- Create a lookup field on Sent Fax called “Fax Forwarded”, a lookup to Received Fax object. This is optional but would allow you to see which fax was forwarded from sent fax.
- Create a process builder on Received Fax called “Forward Fax” when record created and Status is “Received” and Fax URL is not null and Sent To equals the fax number receiving the fax you want to forward. The immediate action should be to create a record in Sent Fax object:
Attachment ID = field reference to Received Fax.Fax Attachment ID
Fax Number = string type, type the fax number you want to forward to. Or could configure a formula or field to merge.
Send Date = insert function Now()
Subject = as you desire, but suggest the Record ID of the received fax.
Status = Sending
Sent With Out Message = True
Fax Forwarded = field reference type, the record ID of the received fax. - Ensure that the Outbound Message “Send Fax Attachment” related Workflow is active.
- Give it a test by sending a fax into the org on the matching fax number.
Move A5 Fax Activation to a New Salesforce Org
If you have the A5 Fax app configured in one Salesforce org and you need to move the activation over to a new Salesforce Org, you will need to do the following steps:
- Install A5 Fax app into new Salesforce org(s) from AppExchange.
- Go to fax configuration tab and click “grant access” to authorize the app. Only one active Salesforce user needs to authorize the app for all users. Usually this is an admin user or user that will have proper permissions to installed components and any other fax processes in place.
- After you have done step #3, create a case to A5 Apps support saying that you want your activation moved over to a new Salesforce org (provide the old org ID, the new org ID, and if you want the same fax number(s) moved over to the new org that were assigned in previous org).
If you have configurations or any automation setup in previous org and you want to deploy the data and processes over to new org, please note following steps:
- If you are deploying from a Sandbox to Production org, you can create a change set in Sandbox with the configurations you made around the fax app and then deploy it to Production.
- Optionally if moving to another org, you could create a Unmanaged Package and put the configuration components you made around the A5 Fax app into the Package, then using the install link and you can install that package into the new org.
- A third option is that you can manually re-create the same configurations in the new org that were in the old org.
- If you want to migrate the Sent Fax and Received Fax records that were in the old org into new org, you can use Data Loader to do a data migration.
- Usual configurations to consider: Custom Fields on Sent Fax and Received Fax objects, custom buttons, Process Builders, workflows that execute faxing operations, and custom field settings configured under Fax Configuration tab.
Sent Fax stuck in “Sending” status
Reasons a sent fax could be stuck in Sending status:
- AUTHORIZATION: You may need to re-authorize the app under Fax Configuration tab under active admin user (or user with proper permissions). There are variables as to why you would need to refresh authorization, for example when there is a change in authorized user, anything in your faxing process/Salesforce has changed, an org refresh, or updated package install. After you do this step, sent fax records will either start to be sent within 24 hour period or you may need to recreate the sent fax records after refreshing authorization.
- If you receive an error message when trying to authorize the app that refers to “this site cannot be reached”, please review this article to resolve.
- FILES OR USER PERMISSION ISSUE: If a fax is getting stuck in Sending status for no apparent reason and files are used instead of attachments, the issue might be that a user which authorized the app doesn’t have access to the file which is being sent. For more information about this, please review this article. Also, each user that is sending a fax needs proper access to Sent Fax, Received Fax and any other objects/fields being used in faxing process, and needs to have a profile permission Send Outbound Messages enabled. This permission is located in Setup > Users > Profiles > your target profile > System Permissions System, and under System while in System Permissions.
- If you are using “Documents” rather than File format and the sent fax is getting stuck in “sending” status then the user may not have access to the Document being sent and they may be owned by another user. To resolve, you can add the “modify all documents” permission to the user profile. This permission should allow the user to have proper access to the Documents and successfully send the fax with no issues.
- AUTOMATION/INACTIVE USER: If you have configured an automatic process for faxing (using process builder, flow, apex, or any other means of automation), and sent faxes are stuck in Sending status, you should check if the running user is active. It is possible that one user may be set as a default user for the specific automation, and it got deactivated. Also, check the files issue from point 2. If you would like assistance to review automation setup, we offer app premium support as a service.
- API CALL LIMIT: You may have hit your daily API call limit. Go to Setup > Company Settings > Company Information > Show API Requests > Last 24 Hours. See what the limit is and see if you went past it. If you did, you will need to wait till your 24 hour mark is over to start with new limit. You can submit case to Salesforce to increase your daily API call limit if needed.
Create a Lightning Action to Send a Fax
You have the option to create a Lightning Action to send a fax with predefined values if you would like rather than using Process Builder or Apex automation methods to create a sent fax record. The Lightning Action could be used to save some manual steps when sending a fax and would not be used for mass document generation as you still need to click the button from record rather than
Here are a few example use cases you could use a Lightning Action for:
- Sending same PDF file to many customers: If you have the same PDF document that you need to fax to many customers and would like to save some manual steps in sending the fax recipient this document. For example this same existing PDF you need to send to your customers or prospects could be a Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA) or W-9 form that you need to fax them.
- Re-sending a Non Delivered Fax: If you have a sent fax record that was “not delivered” due to ringing timing out or maybe fax machine off, you could create a Lightning actually to resend another fax to with the same details. It is important to note that you would only use this if the fax number was correct and no other changes need to be made with the sent fax record created. Make sure you have “detailed fax status” field on your sent fax page layout so in the case a fax fails and changes to “not delivered” the detailed fax status field will give you more information for why the fax was not delivered.
How to create a Lightning Action to send a fax:
- Go to Setup, and the object you want the button/action on.
- Go to buttons/actions from page layout related list. Then create New Lightning action.
- Add pre-defined field values for mapping fields to the sent fax record on the the Lightning Action. You will select the sent fax field from drop down list when adding a pre-defined value and then use formula editor/syntax to add the field. Some pre-defined fields are required to create the sent fax and some are optional.
- The required Pre-defined fields for sent fax record from related object are:
- Attachment ID (Text field type). This is related attachment ID you will use to send the same document in Lightning Action. For example, this can be an existing File or Document that is uploaded in your Salesforce. When looking at the Document record, there will be the unique document ID in the URL. For example URL of could be: https://na82.salesforce.com/0151R000005BPYW and the document ID you would paste into the pre-defined field value to send same PDF file each time would be:0151R000005BPYW.
- Another option for Attachment ID is that the attachment could be getting generated through a document generation tool like A5 Documents app. You can then have a field on your related object that stores that latest attachment ID on the record. Then you can merge this attachment ID field into the predefined field value on sent fax Lightning Action.
- Fax Number (Phone number field type). This is the fax number field that is the fax number you will be sending fax too.
- Organization Fax Number (Phone number field type). This is your assigned default organization fax number that you are sending fax from. The format for display of number should have no spaces or special characters. For example fax number format for this pre defined field should be: 8667779999.
- Send Date (Date/time field type). Important to use “Send Date” pre-defined field and not the Sent Date. Formula used is Now().
- Sent with Outbound Message (Checkbox field type marked True). You can detail a message that you want to display after the sent fax record is created.
- Status (Picklist with status of Sending). After sent fax record is created, it will start in status of Sending. After fax is delivered, it will change to “Delivered” status on sent fax record.
- Subject (Text field type) – this is the subject of the fax. You can add merge fields here from the related object using formula editor, for example, could be Account name merge field.
- Attachment ID (Text field type). This is related attachment ID you will use to send the same document in Lightning Action. For example, this can be an existing File or Document that is uploaded in your Salesforce. When looking at the Document record, there will be the unique document ID in the URL. For example URL of could be: https://na82.salesforce.com/0151R000005BPYW and the document ID you would paste into the pre-defined field value to send same PDF file each time would be:0151R000005BPYW.

One or more pages was confirmed as RTN
You may see this error message under “detailed fax status field” on sent fax record and fax status is “not delivered.”
Reason for this error:
A retrain negative (RTN) message is a result of discarded data during the fax transmission due to interpage timing protocol. If a retrain message is received during the fax transmission eFax Developer will propose a new bit rate. It is up to the receiving modem to accept the newly proposed bit rate or ask for another retrain sequence. If both parties can not negotiate a bit rate the result will be “One or more pages was confirmed as RTN” failure message.
To resolve: This should be investigated by the other fax carrier that is returning this error message.
