Overview
This article outlines two ways through which users can confirm the transmission and delivery status for faxes sent through FaxMaker Online.
Information
When Email Notifications are enabled for a particular user, the sender will receive a notification through Email confirming the delivery status for any outbound fax sent by the user through Email.
The below screenshot shows a Success notification for a successfully delivered fax.
