We just bought and had installed the right fax software, works great!!!We are on Lotus Notes 6.5.2
What I am trying to do is send a fax but not through the mail database, I have built an application that receives the faxes from the right fax server and wraps a workflow process around it, what I am now trying to do is send a fax back out through the Lotus Notes Application straight to the Right Fax server
The question is, how do I send a fax through a non-e-mail db?
There seems to be a lot of fields and code that I really do not need but then again I really do not know what is needed and what is not needed
What fields do I need?
What code do I need?
Also is there a way to bypass the cover sheet part?
PLEASE HELP!!!

If I understand you correctly you can create an agent or action to send an E-mail and address it to
Name of Person@123-123-1234@FaxDomain Name
What contents you put in the Subject Field will show up on the coversheet, what contents are in the Body Field will be the first page of the fax.
To avoid sending a coversheet is a little more tricky because you need to go into RightFax and mark the user record to not send a cover sheet. If you have a signed agent the mail would appear to come from that user(signer) and you should be able to do it, if you use an action it would be sent from the current user.
Hope that helps or sheds some light, I am doing some similar type process, so post back if that doesn’t make sense or you have more questions.

Yes I figured all of that already (the hardway I might add)
now I am stuck on formating the contents of the Body into tables so that I can get the body of the fax looking right.
running into problems with that…
Any Ideas???

Sounds like you want to send a form thru the fax.
If so that is possible, I do not have my enivronment set up for that but if you go into the EFM Sync DB and look in the Gateway Document Under Send Outbound Faxes there is an option to include the notes form.
To do this though, you need to set up a new foreign domain, separate from the one you created, i.e. @Fax and now create @FaxForm.
From what the people at Captaris tell me this isn’t hard to implement.

I talked to the people at Captaris, they told me to enable the Forms Router. But when I did that the e-mail Gateway in RightFax shut down and would not start up again until I disabled the Forms Router.
What I have done to get this to work is I get all of the values from the form and insert it into a body field in a e-mail that is created via lotus script. therefore I can send faxes out but not the way that I wanted to…
