This is a Powershell integration with Zetafax Server that extends functionality of Zetafax and enables you to automatically fax back senders that send to a specified fax number within a specified Zetafax user inbox.

Discontinuing fax lines: If you will be discontinuing a fax line and want to notify the senders sending to this fax line, this would be an effective method alongside formal/traditional means of communication (like email, phone call, etc).
I utilized this script within a high fax volume enterprise environment to fax back toll-free senders, notifying them to use our local fax numbers instead. This yeilded $12,000 annual carrier cost-savings.
To implement within your network, this script assumes the following:
- Zetafax Server installed in your environment.
- Zetafax Server configured for Z-Submit processing, this can be configured within Zetafax Configuration.
- Microsoft Task Scheduler to run this script on a scheduled-basis. Run at least once per hour.
However, if you pull this repository from Github and store the sample files locally, you can use relative paths to test. For more information, see video demonstration towards the end of the README file.
- Create a custom document to faxback to your senders. Example can be found in the /files folder.
- Modify the 3 variables under the "REQUIRED" section of the PowerShell script to the full UNC path. Local paths can be used assuming the script is being ran locally.
- Update the csv files within the /configs to your need.

This video uses an older version of the script that requires configurations to be defined within the script itself, rather than defining the script's configurations within the csv files found in /configs. This video is still relevant outside of this one detail.
