Overview
There are several considerations to keep in mind before creating XMLAPI for GFI FaxMaker, regarding file structures and the way the application works.
Information
- When using XMLAPI, create an XML file (.xml format) that contains the parameters of the fax or SMS to transmit.
- All XMLAPI parameters should be within an XML container
<faxmakerdata>.
Data should then be contained in three separate containers as follows:
| XMLAPI Containers | Description |
|---|---|
|
|
In this container, specify fax transmission properties such as Subject, attachment and message file. |
|
|
Enter sender details in this container. |
|
|
Specify recipient information in this container. |
- An XML header is also required.
This is usually set as:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> - To learn more about XMLAPI fields and parameters, refer to the following articles:
- For more information, see the article: Sample XMLAPIs for Fax and SMS.
Please note that the XML file structure must be integral, so be careful when adding characters like
[ ] < > and other special characters. When not properly escaped, they can break the file and it won't be parsed, resulting in transmission failures.
