How the eFax API Works
Integrating an API doesn’t have to be hard — and with eFax, it’s not. The eFax Enterprise API lets you keep things simple yet effective — all while saving you time and money.
It Integrates Fax Processes
The eFax API makes integrating fax capabilities into your existing workflows straightforward, regardless of industry or software ecosystem. Unlike traditional APIs, which can present complex integration challenges, the eFax API is designed for seamless compatibility with your organization’s existing systems, including ERP, CRM, or Electronic Health Record (EHR) platforms.
With the eFax API, businesses can rapidly deploy a secure, reliable electronic faxing system within their current digital framework, enabling powerful communication and operational efficiency without disrupting existing processes.
It Improves Efficiency
Traditional faxing is slow and cumbersome. Fax machines often experience jams, paper shortages, and malfunctions, all of which delay workflows. Additionally, because fax machines are typically in-office, users can’t send or receive faxes while traveling or working remotely, which further disrupts productivity.
The eFax API, on the other hand, provides a flexible, company-wide faxing solution accessible from any location. Employees can send and receive faxes whether they’re at home, in the office, or on the go, significantly improving workflow efficiency. The eFax API also features an XML wrapper with barcode scanning capabilities for sender data, further simplifying and accelerating the file-sharing process across teams and locations.
It Cuts Down Costs
Implementing the eFax API leads to lower operational costs through more efficient workflows, which enable faster turnaround times and reduced expenses. Unlike traditional faxing, where each document requires paper and toner, eFax reduces printing needs, cutting down on material costs and supporting your company’s sustainability goals by minimizing waste. Additionally, eliminating fax machines altogether removes the need for costly maintenance and equipment purchases.
In addition, streamlined workflows and quicker response times can directly impact your bottom line. Efficient processes increase client satisfaction, which drives repeat business and referrals. By reducing labor and time spent on fax-related maintenance, your team can focus resources on growth-oriented initiatives, ultimately boosting profit margins.
It Offers Top-Notch Protection
The eFax API provides robust protection for sensitive data, making it an ideal solution in today’s cybersecurity landscape. All fax transmissions utilize TLS 1.2 encryption, and files in storage are safeguarded with 256-bit encryption, ensuring that documents remain secure from unauthorized access. These measures also help companies stay compliant with stringent regulations, such as HIPAA and GLBA.
For additional control, the eFax API offers customizable security settings for both inbound and outbound faxes. Companies can assign a unique URL for each fax number to automatically receive and post fax results securely. Additionally, the API allows for unique transmission IDs to track each fax individually, providing a reliable way to monitor and verify document transmission.

See All FAQseFax is a great option for sending important documents online. Every eFax product uses TLS protocol and two-way encryption, and there are two more options that regulated industries can use for that extra layer of protection when sending online faxes: eFax Protect and eFax Corporate. eFax Protect is HIPAA-compliant and provides BAA for further compliance. eFax Corporate is HITRUST certified and scales for enterprise businesses.
You can think of an API, or Application Programming Interface, as a bridge connecting two different pieces of software. It’s a communication protocol, a set of rules that allows one piece of software to work easily with another.
Even if you didn’t know what the term meant before reading that paragraph, you’ve been using APIs for years. It is an API, for example, that allows you to cut a block of text from a Microsoft® Word® document or a plain text file and paste it into a new Gmail message.
Yes. The added convenience and enhanced employee productivity of a fax API would be valuable to your business only if that API were at least as secure as the other means of transmitting faxes. The security concerns of sending company data unsecured — particularly proprietary or regulated data — would outweigh the benefits of being able to fax by email directly from your workflow applications.
