TextAPI does not create a 'status file' when a Sender is specified

Answer

PROBLEM

When the TextAPI method is used for sending faxes, no status file is created.


ENVIRONMENT

  • GFI FaxMaker
  • All supported environments


SOLUTION

Remove the sender information from the TextAPI file. The sender is defined with the command::from=


CAUSE

When the TextAPI method is used for sending faxes, its behavior is to create a status file in the TextAPI folder in lieu of a transmission report. When a sender is specified in the TextAPI file, a transmission report will be created and emailed to the sender. If a sender is not defined, a status file will be created in the TextAPI folder as follows:
 
  • If sending is a success, a *.OK file is created
  • If sending fails, a *.ERR file is created

The TextAPI method of sending faxes is programmatic; therefore, the status files are created to be read programmatically.
