Outbound Faxes Overview

How to find the Outbound Faxes page, see the status of faxes you've sent, cancel a fax, and delete a sent fax.

What is the Outbound Faxes page?

The Outbound Faxes page shows the faxes sent from your Updox account. Use it to check whether a fax went through, is still pending, or failed.

How do I find the Outbound Faxes page?

  1. Go to the menu on the left-hand side of the screen.

  2. Click Fax.

Can I send a fax from the Outbound Faxes page?

No. You can't send faxes from the Outbound Faxes page. Faxes are sent from the Inbox.

Can I cancel a fax from the Outbound Faxes page?

Yes. You can cancel faxes from the Outbound Faxes page.

What can I see on the Outbound Faxes page?

  • One full day of faxes on one screen. Use the date selector to look at a different day or a date range of up to 7 days.

  • Status filter. Show only faxes that were successful, pending, or failed.

  • Search. Look for a specific fax within the dates you've selected.

  • Sorting. Click any column heading to sort by that column.

  • Automatic updates. New faxes show up on their own, and pending faxes update when they go through or fail. You don't need to refresh the page.

Which faxes can I see?

  • Standard users see the same faxes they can see in their Inbox.

  • Admin users see every fax sent from the account, even faxes they can't see in their Inbox.
