HIPAA Compliant Efax API: Enterprise Fax API Service

A fax API (Application Programming Interface) is a powerful tool that enables developers to seamlessly integrate faxing capabilities into their own software, systems, or applications. Instead of relying on traditional fax machines or manual faxing methods, a fax API allows fax communications to be handled entirely through code, making the process faster, more secure, and fully automated.

With a fax API, developers can:

• Send faxes programmatically from web or desktop applications by submitting documents and recipient information via secure API calls

• Receive inbound faxes directly into an application or system without the need for physical fax hardware

• Monitor delivery status, manage fax history, and handle retries or failures in real time

• Automate fax workflows, such as generating faxes from form submissions, sending invoices or reports, or routing received faxes to email or internal systems

Using a fax API helps businesses modernize their communications by integrating fax into their digital workflows, eliminating paper-based processes, reducing manual handling, and improving compliance with data security standards.

Overall, a fax API provides a scalable, reliable, and efficient alternative to traditional faxing, perfect for businesses that require high-volume or secure fax transmission within their existing software environments.

To gain access to Notifyre’s Fax & SMS API gateway, developers must first generate a new API token from within their Notifyre account. This token acts as a secure authentication key that verifies and authorizes API requests made by your application or system.

Once created, the API token enables developers to seamlessly integrate Notifyre’s powerful fax and SMS capabilities into existing platforms, business workflows, or custom-built software. Whether you're sending automated SMS alerts, transmitting secure faxes, or managing communications at scale, the API token ensures a secure, authenticated connection to Notifyre’s services.

For enhanced security, developers can create multiple tokens for different environments (e.g., development, staging, production), each with the ability to be revoked or regenerated at any time through the Notifyre dashboard.

Yes! You can set up a webhook to receive real-time notifications from Notifyre directly within your third-party application or system.

Webhooks allow Notifyre to automatically send HTTP POST requests to your specified endpoint URL whenever certain events occur, such as the successful delivery of a fax or SMS, a failed send attempt, or incoming fax or SMS messages. This enables your application to react instantly to these events without the need for continuous polling or manual checks.

By configuring a webhook, you can streamline your workflows and keep your systems in sync with Notifyre’s fax and SMS activity in real time. For example, you could:

• Automatically update the status of a message in your CRM or internal database

• Trigger notifications or alerts for your team

• Log delivery data for reporting and analytics

• Process incoming fax or SMS content for further handling

Webhook setup is quick and flexible through the Notifyre dashboard, and you can customize your endpoints to match your preferred event types and response handling.

Notifyre’s Fax API documentation, along with our developer SDKs, are currently available in both .NET and Node.js languages. These resources are designed to help developers quickly and easily integrate Notifyre’s secure fax functionality into their applications, platforms, or business systems.

Our comprehensive API documentation provides clear instructions, code samples, and reference guides to assist with everything from authentication and sending faxes to retrieving delivery statuses and managing fax numbers. Whether you're building a simple application or integrating with a complex enterprise workflow, the documentation walks you through each step of the process.
Support for additional programming languages is being explored, as we continue to expand our developer tools to meet evolving business needs.

Yes! We currently offer fax SDKs in both .NET and Node.js, making it easy for developers to integrate Notifyre’s fax functionality into their applications using familiar programming environments.

Our SDKs are designed to simplify the development process by providing ready-to-use methods for common fax operations such as sending faxes, retrieving delivery status, managing fax numbers, and handling errors. Whether you're building a new solution from scratch or integrating with an existing platform, these SDKs help reduce development time and ensure a smoother implementation experience.

The .NET SDK is ideal for teams working within Microsoft-based environments, including desktop applications, enterprise systems, and web services. The Node.js SDK is perfect for JavaScript developers building server-side or full-stack applications.

Both SDKs are fully supported and come with detailed documentation, code samples, and guidance to help you get up and running quickly. You’ll also benefit from ongoing updates and improvements as we continue to expand Notifyre’s developer tools.

Yes, you can! Notifyre’s Fax API is fully compatible with PHP, allowing developers to programmatically send and receive faxes directly from PHP-based applications and systems.

Using PHP, you can access all core fax functionalities through our RESTful API, including:

• Sending faxes

• Setting recipient fax numbers and custom coversheets

• Tracking delivery status

• Receiving inbound faxes

While we currently offer official SDKs in .NET and Node.js, PHP developers can still interact with the API using standard HTTP requests and easily parse the JSON responses.

To make development easier, our API documentation includes detailed endpoints, request/response examples, and error handling information. You can switch the programming language of each code sample by using the language drop-down menu above the code blocks, simply select “PHP” to view examples in your preferred language.

This flexibility makes it simple to integrate Notifyre’s secure fax services into any PHP-based system, whether you’re building a custom dashboard, automating workflows, or enhancing an existing platform.

An API Fax Number is a virtual fax number that allows you to send and receive faxes programmatically through Notifyre’s Fax API. It eliminates the need for a physical fax machine, enabling secure, cloud-based faxing integrated into your own software or systems.

Yes. If you already have a fax number with another provider, Notifyre offers fax number porting so you can retain your existing number and use it with our fax API.

No, you don’t need an API Fax Number to send outbound faxes. However, if you want to receive inbound faxes via the API, you’ll need to purchase a Notifyre fax number within your account or port a fax number to your account.
