Fax API is very slow and appears to miss random pages. A 5 page document may be received in random order and over the course of 3 hours.

Neil, is it in Production or Sandbox? Can you provide some additional information, e.g. from/to numbers and a time when you sent a fax?

Neil, we are investigating your case now. Can you please clarify how you detected this delay? Is it a time when the fax was actually received by recipient or the time you got confirmation by email? According to our logs it took ~17 minutes to send fax from our servers.

Users called and said "Why does it take 20 minutes to fax"?

Fax from RingCentral appear to run far more slowly than any of the other Fax APIs (eFax and Faxout).  Is this normal?

Neil, Also, if you could clarify the below questions for us?

1. Could you provide us with the original/sample doc that you are trying to send as faxes

2. Do you have the same problem for all recipients? or for some numbers?


We could take this offline and you could mail me directly at vyshakh.babji@ringcentral.com

I really can't.  Some have what could be considered PHI, other's have protected images.  

Same number.  Different experience each time with the same document.

Is 17 minutes in any way normal?

I can put something together for you.  I haven't heard of any issues since Friday.

I am seeing similar. Faxing out from the desktop RingCentral Phone app, it is taking up to 25 minutes to send a fax.
