Fax Webhook Events

Question

Hi,I am using the RC Javascript library (v4.7.0). Our app graduated from sandbox to production.  Our integration with RC currently uses webhook subscriptions.  We successfully tested these integrations from our sandbox with no issues.Once we moved to production, we were able to subscribe to the Account Telephone Session event.  This works as expected.  However, we are not getting Inbound Fax Events.The inbound fax subscription is set up through the event filter:/restapi/v1.0/account/~/extension/~/fax?direction=InboundBased on my understanding, this subscription would capture all faxes received by users under our account and trigger the webhook.However, this is not happening.  As it stands, we are only able to trigger the webhook by sending faxes to the sandbox phone number.If we pull our subscriptions, we can see it:Are we doing something wrong?We are trying to automatically download and forward incoming faxes to the intended recipient through our own system.Our app client id is g_qij6n3RAqIijYDyLWN5w.

First of all, don't waste your resource by creating separate subscription for each event type. Instead, you should add multiple event types into the eventFilters array and make just one subscription.

eventFilters: [
    '/restapi/v1.0/account/~/extension/~/fax?direction=Inbound'
    '/restapi/v1.0/account/~/telephony/sessions',
    ...
    ],

When you receive the notification event, simply detect the event type by checking the value of the "event" the process the payload accordingly.

To your question, I just make a quick test and Fax notification works as expected. I see you specified the extension id in your event filter, is that the extension id of the authenticated user who subscribed for the notification? If it is not or you don't know, then try with the tilde and send a fax to the user who logged in the app. If you expect to receive inbound faxes notification for other extensions than just the authenticated user, authenticate your app with the super admin user.
