| Status | Description |
|---|---|
| Not approved | The fax message has not been approved. |
| Pre-Approved | The Pre-Approved Fax mechanism, which is available only for faxes sent through UnifiedAPI requests, implies sending a fax message to a particular extension without adding its authorized source email address in VoipNow. The Pre-Approved status no longer requires confirmation for a fax message; it is automatically sent in a matter of minutes. |
| Approved | The fax message is approved and can be sent by clicking the link. |
| Scheduled For Sending | The fax message is scheduled for sending and VoipNow tries to deliver it to the destination. |
| Sent | The fax message was successfully sent to all recipients. |
| Partially Sent | The fax message was sent only to some of the recipients. Click the link to finalize the operation. |
| Send Failed | The fax message was not sent due to an error. Click the link to send it again. If a fax message's status is Partially sent or Send failed, you can reschedule it for sending by clicking either its status, either the Resend link available in the Sent on column. |
| Canceled | This fax message will no longer be sent to anyone. This status is displayed after clicking the Cancel link available in the Sent on column. |
| Purged | A fax message reaches this status after it is erased from the system. This happens when the fax message has been stored in the system longer then the number of days allowed. |
...
- Yes: The fax message is approved. All the fax messages added from the interface are already approved.
- No: The fax message has not been approved yet. It can be either preapproved, if the Status column displays Pre-Approved, or a regular unapproved email2fax message. You can click the No link to manually approve the fax. The Pre-Approved status applies only to fax messages sent through UnifiedAPI requests.
