Improved Faxing and Messaging Capabilities

A dozen new functionalities and fixes for the faxing and messaging feature were released.

New Features

Quick transfer of files received via client, contact or unassigned messages (i.e. fax and email) to the document section of clients' cover pages. 

From the Messaging Inbox, click on the Transfer button. The Transfer Attachment pop up window will appear. Select the client or contact you would like to save the file against and click Copy.  

Automatic retry for failed faxes. Kalix will auto-retry sending faxes every 30 minutes if the fax call is no answer or busy. The retry will repeat for a duration of 5 hours. If faxes fails for other reasons, Kalix will retry immediately, using a lower qualify fax.

Manual retry button for failed messages (all types including fax) was added (from the Messaging Inbox only).

New merge fields - released for fax cover pages (not supported on the body of documents). 

  • [ORGFAX] - the fax number you are sending from

  • [RECIPIENTTITLE] - the title of the client or contact receiving the fax e.g. Dr, Mr, Ms

  • [RECIPIENTFAX] - the fax number you are sending the document to


Option to exclude the fax cover page from faxed documents. -
When faxing from the Documents feature, send faxes as per usual, except for when in the Send Message window, uncheck the Show Coverpage checkbox to remove the coverpage from the fax. 

Improvements 

Quality of sent faxes - significant changes were made to improve the quality of sent faxes.

Unsaved changes detection - Kalix now detects and notifies you if there are unsaved changes to documents before faxing. This makes sure you fax the most update to date version of the document.

Message body of failed messages are now viewable. Failed messages can also be easily retried. 

Fax cover pages now use your doc layout - the coverpage of faxes as well as ad hoc faxes now use the formatting from your doc layout.

  • Shared fax numbers - when a fax is received from a number that is saved against multiple clients or contacts, the message is now only displayed only once as an unassigned fax in Messaging Inbox. You are able to assign the fax against the correct client or contact.

Bug Fixes

  • A blank page is no longer added to faxed attachments.

  • Bug fix for Marked as Read functionality (for Messaging Inbox). Multiple unread messages are no longer being marked as read, just the selected message.
