Hi! I was wondering if anyone had attempted this use case or something similar. We have google docs and pdfs that we would like to be able to fax programmatically using the API. Does anyone know if the available API has any limitations that would prevent this?

RingCentral cannot access your Google drive directly. You must write code to access and read file from your Google drive and pass the byte arrays to the Fax attachment.
