Integrating Notifyre’s Fax API with NextGen EHR
Faxing remains a crucial component of healthcare communication, especially when sharing sensitive patient data like referrals, care summaries, and lab reports. However, relying on physical fax machines or legacy servers introduces inefficiencies and security risks.

Integration Overview: Notifyre Fax API and NextGen EHR

Send a Fax with Fax API:
Authenticate with the Notifyre API
Retrieve the patient document from NextGen
Prepare the fax
Send the document using the Notifyre API
Monitor delivery status and receive real-time updates
Step-by-Step Fax Integration Guide
Step 1: Authenticate with the Notifyre API
Login to your Notifyre account and generate your API token. This token will authorize all subsequent API requests. Store it securely and refresh it when expired.
Step 2: Retrieve Patient Documents from NextGen
Use the NextGen API to retrieve patient documents you intend to fax - such as referrals, CCDs, lab results, or visit summaries. Ensure documents are in PDF format, either generated on demand or pulled from existing records.
Step 3: Prepare the Fax
Create the fax with the following information:
Recipient’s fax number
PDF document to be faxed
File name or title
Verify that the PDF file meets Notifyre’s size and format specifications.
Step 4: Send the Fax (POST to /fax/send Endpoint)
Make a POST request to Notifyre’s /fax/send endpoint using the access token. Include the fax details in your request body. Notifyre will process the fax and return a unique fax ID for tracking.
Step 5: Handle Response and Monitor Delivery Status
Use the returned fax ID to track delivery status through the Notifyre API or dashboard. Status updates include queued, in progress, delivered, or failed. To automate monitoring, configure webhooks for real-time delivery notifications.
