Sample Sametime Chat with the ExtraFax Bot




The ExtraFax Bot is a great tool for Sametime users within your organization who may not have access to e-mail or other traditional methods of sending a Fax/SMS/MMS via ExtraFax. All it requires is that they have a IBM Lotus Sametime user account.

Sending a Fax/SMS/MMS:

With the ExtraFax Bot you can perform the following operations while in a chat session with the ExtraFax Bot:
  • Send a Fax that includes both text and file attachments. e.g. MS Office, PDF files, etc.
  • Send an SMS text message to a mobile phone number, just as easily as you can send SMS text message directly from your mobile phone.
  • Send picture or video files using MMS to a mobile phone.

Querying a Fax/SMS/MMS

When you need to obtain the status of a previously sent Fax/SMS/MMS, that is no problem for the ExtraFax Bot. When querying a Fax/SMS/MMS job, it is possible to submit queries based on a JOB ID or alternatively by specifying date ranges(Jobs sent today, jobs sent in the last 7 days or jobs sent within a specified date range). Based on the type of query you select, the ExtraFax Bot will respond to you with all the status details you need about that important Fax/SMS/MMS that you had previously sent.
