MCF File Post-Receive Processing

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Processing is specified by means of a $post_receive command in the applicable mailbox. The infobox sequence is called after a fax has been successfully received. The keyword infoboxall results in the infobox sequence also being called after a failed fax receive operation.

Typical applications include:

fax-to-email: sending an e-mail with the received fax as an attachment.
confirmation: reporting a received fax

Note that you should not perform lengthy operations as part of your post-receive infobox processing. On a heavily loaded system this can tie up the CopiaFacts channel and perhaps cause a subsequent incoming call to be missed.

Variables defined in the USR file for the fax receive operation are available, as are the set of PR_... variables which provide the results of the inbound fax operation. Post-receive processing often requires writing an FS file from a $type FS infobox.
