Email to Fax
One of the main features of Iris Hosted Fax is the ability to send and receive faxes right from your email. Below you will find instructions on how to do this.
Sending a fax
To send a fax from email, compose a message from your email. In the To: field, type the 11 digit fax number (ex. 12087332687) followed by @btirisfax.com. Then, attach the document you would like to fax as a PDF attachment. Adding a subject or text in the body of the email will be on the cover sheet of the fax transmission. We have a generic fax coversheet we provide that can be customized and configured.
Note: It is important to always use an 11 digit fax number when formatting the email. This means you need to include a "1" for faxing any number in the USA or CANADA.
If you need to send a fax outside the US or CANADA, please let us know so we can enable international faxing on your number.
