Overview
With Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), users can integrate their third-party software with GFI FaxMaker. The resulting process automation can be used for a wide variety of industries and applications such as healthcare, retail, and banking.
For example, users can leverage XMLAPI with their invoicing software to create an XML report template for account statements and balances. This report can be generated periodically for each client that owes money and it can be stored into the XMLAPI pickup folder. GFI FaxMaker will automatically transmit the statements to their intended recipients.
This article describes the types of APIs available in GFI FaxMaker.
Information
| XMLAPI |
Send faxes or SMS using XML files. Users can configure third-party software to generate APIs automatically and transmit faxes in bulk. GFI FaxMaker picks up and transmits all XML files stored in a custom XMLAPI pickup folder. XMLAPIs must be formatted to a standard convention, using fields and parameters which GFI FaxMaker can use to process faxes and SMS. For additional information, please refer to XMLAPI. |
| TextAPI |
Send faxes using plain text files. Users can configure third-party software to generate APIs automatically and transmit faxes in bulk. GFI FaxMaker picks up and transmits all text files stored in a custom TextAPI pickup folder. TextAPIs must be formatted to a standard convention, using fields and parameters which GFI FaxMaker can use to process faxes and SMS. For additional information, please refer to TextAPI. |
| Web Service API | The GFI FaxMaker Web Service API enables you to develop your own applications that can connect directly with GFI FaxMaker. You can then send and receive faxes directly from your application. For additional information, please refer to Web Service API. |
