Hi!
I have to send faxes through RingCentral for two of the company I work for legacy applications.
For one of them, I have to report back to the applicatiom, using a pretty weird mechanism, if the faxes were sent properly.
Those applications only send faxes to one recipient at a time so it looks like my best bet to get the most precise fax status and error message would be to look at "messageStatus" and "faxErrorCode" under "to".h
I am not sure how to interpret those statuses though and if any of them, besides "Queued" are temporary statuses or final ones...
According to the doc "messageStatus" can take the following values:
Queued, Sent, Delivered, DeliveryFailed, SendingFailed, Received
Now Queued is obviously a temporary status but what about the others. Can the same fax go from DeliveryFailed to Delivered after RingCentral retries to send the faxes.
What about Sent, does it mean the same thing as Delivered or Received?
The doc only seems to mention Queued, SendingFailed and Sent, are the others legacy return codes?
By the way, there seems to be no way to change the number of retries one wants to send a fax, I assume this is setted up by our telephony guy?
Thank you and have a nice day,
Nick
Hi,
I had already read some of the pages you referred me to and unfortunately they (and the new ones you referred me to), do not actually answer my questions. Thank you for your help however...
I must provide to my users the same functionality they had before so asking them to look at a web page on this site to get their fax status and asking them to manually update the fax statuses in our legacy applications is unfortunately out of the question.
By default, how many times does RingCentral try to send a fax before giving up? I doubt it only tries one time and I have to programmatically or manually try to ask for a retry...
Maybe one of the pages you referred me to initially had the answer but one of the links you provided me with (https://ringcentral-faq.readthedocs.io/en/latest/fax/) first link gives me a 404.

Like I said before the 6 statuses are documented but only explanations are only given for like 3 of them, are the others legacy stuff?
Thank you and have a nice day,
Nick
As per this https://www.ringcentral.com/blog/know-fax-transmission-api-succeeded/ :
“Sent” means that message was sent successfully
In general Fax can be viewed in the Service Web Portal (https://service.ringcentral.com) in both Messages > Sent Items and in the Call Log.
If a fax transmission fails, the reason is reported in the Call Log Record's result property. It is also presented in the Service Web Portal. All the Fax question are answered here and the following link will be helpful:

As per this link https://ringcentral-faq.readthedocs.io/en/latest/fax/
To resend a fax, call the fax endpoint with the originalMessageId property
You can also use this API for resending and retrying fax and changing the number of retries :
