With RingCentral, you can forward or resend a fax that has been previously sent through the system. In this case, the RingCentral API can use the fax message already stored on our servers so there is no need to send the message again. This can be useful for the following use cases:
- forwarding a received inbound fax to another fax number
- resending a fax that has not been received
The request takes a JSON body with the following parameters:
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
originalMessageId |
string |
yes | original message to be resent identifier |
to |
List of CallerInfo |
no | resend the message to another recipient(s) |
sendTime |
DateTime |
no | time to resend fax |
