Fax Log

A fax log is a record that tracks details of all fax transmissions sent or received through a fax machine or online fax service. It helps users monitor communication history, confirm successful deliveries, and identify any failed or pending transmissions. While fax logs provide historical records, Notifyre’s fax activity page offers real-time tracking of faxes currently being processed or recently completed. Fax logs are essential for maintaining accountability and transparency in document exchange. 

What Does a Fax Log Include? 

A standard fax log typically contains: 

• Date and time of each transmission
• Sender and recipient information
• Number of pages sent
• Status of the fax (successful, failed, pending)
• Fax number dialed
• Reference or document ID   

Why Businesses Need a Fax Log?

Fax logs provide an important audit trail for both personal and business use. They are especially valuable in industries that require record-keeping and HIPAA compliance, such as healthcare, legal, and government sectors. By maintaining a fax log, organizations can verify transmission outcomes, reduce the risk of lost documents, and ensure timely follow-up on failed faxes. With online fax services, fax logs are often automatically generated and securely stored for easy access and reporting.
