I like the pricing model, but the receive work flow just doesn't seem practical -- people sending incoming faxes have to include a special barcode?? Am I missing something?
- rabidonrails 15y agoThanks for the feedback. Let me explain the thinking behind the barcodes. Right now people need to include barcodes on their faxes similar to drop.io in that they made you fax with a coversheet that had a unique barcode on it. (You can built a similar type coversheet with phaxio.) In addition to the "hosted document" option, which allows devs to generate forms with unique barcodes on them, we added another level by allowing devs to embed additional metadata in a barcode which can be returned to your system and should help with workflow. (That was our hope anyway.) Using barcodes allows us to keep the prices of phaxio low and as PAYGO as possible. That said, one of our next steps is to offer dedicated phone lines to those that request them.
