Fax.Live makes sending faxes to your favorites easier with the contact list. The contact feature allows you to save frequently used recipients’ information for easy faxing. This feature allows you to:
- Create fax contacts with a name, phone number, and email
- Filter and sort through your contact list
- Favorite contacts for your most frequent faxing
- Receive incoming faxes as a contact name rather than a fax number
How Fax.Live’s Address Book Works
- In the Fax.Live dashboard, the Contacts tab is where you create and manage your fax contacts. You can see in this example that we’ve created contacts, which are displayed in this example dashboard.
- In the Contacts tab, click +New contact to get started with a new contact.
- Enter the contact name and their corresponding fax number. These are the only two required identifiers for this contact — name and fax number.
You can enter additional information to make it easier to identify the contact. For example, if you’re faxing a medical office with multiple branches or fax machines, you can make a note of which location this contact corresponds to. While creating a contact, you can also add it to your favorites.
View your Favorite contacts in the Favorites tab of the Contacts menu.
Click Save Contact to create the new contact.
- View your new contact in your contact list.
- When sending a new fax, you’ll now see the contact as an option for the outbound fax number.
The contact will display the corresponding fax number, so you can make sure you’re sending it to the right place.
A bonus feature on the Fax.Live dashboard is the Fax to Recent menu, which enables quick sending to numbers you’ve recently used. Simply click one of the recent faxes and drag and drop it to quickly send a fax to that number.
