Hello,

I am trying to integrate OSCAR EMR (electronic medical records software) with RingCentral Fax API, so that prescriptions/etc can be faxed. The system currently has an existing integration for sending faxes with SRFax (a Canadian eFax provider), but I want to integrate it with RingCentral to send faxes with RingCentral.

Here is the current script that is setup to send faxes with SRFax integration, what would I change for it to work with RingCentral fax?

I would be super grateful if someone could help me with this. Thank you.

Here is the documentation on how this works currently with SRFax (e.g. how the files get picked up to be sent): https://worldoscar.org/?page_id=1264

# SRFax Gateway cron

# (c) 2020 Peter Hutten-Czapski released on GPL 2+

#

# Picks up the files dropped by OSCAR

# and POSTs it to the SRFax API

# and it clears the files dropped by OSCAR

# Adjust the constants at the top of the page to match actual

#

PWD=****** # Escape any special characters with non quoted 

CID=******** # this is your SRfax fax number, just numbers

EMAIL=******** # use the same email registered with SRfax for access to their web interface

FROM=******* # this one is whatever you like

FAXLOG=fax2.log
