Fax without attachments

This example sends a fax only containing a body (i.e. without attachments) to two recipients, enabling email notifications:

POST fw/Apps/StoneFax/WebAPI/Faxes/Outbound

Request body:


--dcb45cdc-6ac3-46ad-8dea-892a8989588d
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
Content-Disposition: form-data; name=jsondata

{
   "subject" : "My fax subject",
   "coverPageName" : "BusinessCover",
   "recipients" : 
   [
      {
         "firstName" : "John",
         "lastName" : "Doe",
         "faxNumber" : "123456"
      },
      {
         "firstName" : "Jane",
         "lastName" : "Doe",
         "faxNumber" : "789012"
      }
   ],
   "notifyByEmail" : "true",
   "body" : "Hello everybody!"
}
--dcb45cdc-6ac3-46ad-8dea-892a8989588d

 The response body is:

   "ids":[
            "IAS-N1_6a504a1d-12d6-44a7-a249-db6c4389f413_0",
            "IAS-N1_6a504a1d-12d6-44a7-a249-db6c4389f413_1"
         ]
}

Fax with an attachment

This other example sends a fax only with a body and an attachment to one recipient, enabling email notifications:

POST fw/Apps/StoneFax/WebAPI/Faxes/Outbound

Request body:


--8176a96c-1355-400a-8d63-69a230e8c5ea
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
Content-Disposition: form-data; name=jsondata

{
   "subject" : "My fax subject with an attachment",
   "coverPageName" : "BusinessCover",
   "recipients" : 
   [
      {
         "firstName" : "John",
         "lastName" : "Doe",
         "faxNumber" : "123456"
      }
   ],
   "notifyByEmail" : "true",
   "body" : "Hello everybody! Please find the attachment."

--8176a96c-1355-400a-8d63-69a230e8c5ea
Content-Disposition: form-data; name=""; filename="Attachment.txt"
Content-Type: text/plain

--8176a96c-1355-400a-8d63-69a230e8c5ea

 The response body is:

}

Fax with multiple attachments

If you need to send a fax with two or more attachments, all you have to do is add one form part for each additional attachment you need to send. In this example we send a fax with a body and two attachments:

POST fw/Apps/StoneFax/WebAPI/Faxes/Outbound

Request body:


--8176a96c-1355-400a-8d63-69a230e8c5ea
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
Content-Disposition: form-data; name=jsondata

{
   "subject" : "My fax subject with an attachment",
   "coverPageName" : "BusinessCover",
   "recipients" : 
   [
      {
         "firstName" : "John",
         "lastName" : "Doe",
         "faxNumber" : "123456"
      }
   ],
   "notifyByEmail" : "true",
   "body" : "Hello everybody! Please find the attachment."
}
--8176a96c-1355-400a-8d63-69a230e8c5ea
Content-Disposition: form-data; name=""; filename="Attachment1.txt"
Content-Type: text/plain

Hi, I'm an attachment!

--8176a96c-1355-400a-8d63-69a230e8c5ea
Content-Disposition: form-data; name=""; filename="Attachment2.txt"
Content-Type: text/plain

Hi, I'm another attachment!

--8176a96c-1355-400a-8d63-69a230e8c5ea

 The response body is:



{
   "ids":[
            "IAS-N1_1322b0b2-696f-4b0e-807d-3707e9a5d1d2_0"
         ]
}
