Overview

Upland InterFAX’s Salesforce Faxing Lightning API allows organizations to embed faxing capabilities into their Salesforce experience, enabling the ability to both send and receive fax communications from within the Salesforce interface.

Getting Started

Utilizing our REST API, Upland InterFAX integrates seamlessly with Salesforce. Setting up an InterFAX account is a simple process and can be done with either credit or pre-paid pricing methods. The purchasing process is handled outside of Salesforce through the native Upland interface. Users can be provisioned infinitely, with or without a dedicate fax number per user, while the sending and receiving volumes are pulled out of a central bank for each organization account. Users are able to send faxes from all of the available interfaces. Our available interfaces include the Salesforce fax feature, e-mail, or our convenient web interface provided at https://login.interfax.net/.

How to: Simple Fax Interface

The development method can vary greatly, given the flexibility of Salesforce and the Upland API. For Example, here is a quick and simple way to set up InterFAX inside of Salesforce:

You will need;
A Salesforce Account
An InterFAX Account and User
