How to Send a Fax from Outlook

The email to fax feature lets you send documents from Outlook on a computer or mobile device. This workflow requires a paid Fax.Plus plan. The free option to send fax online uses the web or mobile app instead.

Enable Email to Fax Before You Send

Use the same sender email address as your Fax.Plus account and make sure you have enough credits or available pages. In Fax.Plus, open Settings > Faxing > Email to Fax > Configure. Enable Ability to Send Fax via Email, then confirm. Enable Include Email Content in Fax only if you want the email body included as the cover page.

Create an account on Fax.Plus with your Outlook email account and select a paid plan tailored to your needs.

No Outlook, clique em Novo Email para criar uma nova mensagem de email.

No campo Para, inclua o número de fax de destino junto com o código do país e o código de área, seguido por "@fax.plus". Por exemplo: +16692001010@fax.plus

Attach the files you want to fax as email attachments (PDF, DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX, PNG, JPG, RTF and TIFF). The email body becomes the fax cover page only when Include Email Content in Fax is enabled. An optional subject is saved as a note in Sent Faxes.

Clique em Enviar. O status da entrega será enviado para o seu email imediatamente.

/ Como fazer

Receive Faxes and Check Delivery Alongside Outlook

After sending an efax from Outlook, check its delivery status by email or in Fax.Plus. Receiving requires a fax number and notification settings. Printer and Office workflows use separate tools, as described below.

Como você pode receber faxes no Outlook Web e Mobile?

To receive faxes in Outlook, you need a fax number assigned to your Fax.Plus account and receiving email notifications configured for your Outlook address. Incoming faxes can then arrive in your inbox. Use Outlook rules to organize or archive the messages according to your needs.

Can You Fax a Scanned Document from Outlook?

Use your scanner to create a file, then send it through Outlook. Before sending, complete the Email to Fax setup described above.

Scan the document and save it as a PDF.

Attach the PDF to a new Outlook email from your registered Fax.Plus sender address.

In the To field, enter the destination fax number with its country and area code followed by @fax.plus (for example, +16692001010@fax.plus), then click Send.

É possível encaminhar os faxes recebidos?

You can forward an incoming fax email from Outlook to an authorized recipient. Check the recipient and your organization’s document-handling policy before sharing attachments. Receiving notifications and access to fax numbers are configured in Fax.Plus.

Log in to your Fax.Plus account to check receiving notifications. Your Profile contains account preferences.

Fax Word Documents Through Outlook or Office

Attach a saved Word document to Outlook to send it through Email to Fax. Fax.Plus also offers a separate Microsoft Office add-in for supported Office applications. This is different from the Outlook email workflow and does not install a native Outlook fax button.

Check Delivery Status for Faxes Sent from Outlook

Check the delivery-status email to see whether your fax succeeded or failed. For transmission details and a downloadable Advanced Confirmation Report, open the sent fax in Fax.Plus.

Delivery confirms the fax transmission outcome. It does not confirm that a person has read the document.

Select the fax you sent from Outlook.

Review the transmission status, page count, date, time and duration.

Download or print the Advanced Confirmation Report when you need a transmission record.

How Outlook Email Becomes a Fax Transmission

Outlook sends your email to the Fax.Plus online fax service. Fax.Plus converts the attached documents into fax pages, calls the destination fax number and transmits them to the receiving fax machine or service.

Why use Fax.Plus to fax from Outlook?

Stored File Protection

Stored fax files use AES-256 encryption with unique keys for each user.

Fácil de usar

Use a Dedicated Number for Incoming Faxes

Choose a dedicated local or toll-free fax number, or check number-porting eligibility for your existing number. Sending from Outlook and receiving faxes are separate tasks: incoming email delivery requires your number and notification settings to be configured.

Stored file safeguards

Keep Stored Fax Files Protected with AES

All stored files, including signed and faxed documents, are encrypted using 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). Each user has unique encryption keys. This describes stored-file protection; sensitive workflows also require the appropriate account controls and configuration.

Não é necessário aparelho de fax

Send Documents Without Maintaining a Fax Machine

You do not need a fax machine or dedicated phone line to send from Outlook. Attach your document and use Fax.Plus to transmit it to the destination fax number. Email to Fax requires a paid plan and available pages or credits.

Aplicativo móvel

Choose Outlook Email or the Mobile App

On your phone, you can send supported attachments through Outlook using your enabled Email to Fax account. The Fax.Plus iOS and Android apps offer a separate sending interface. Choose the interface that fits the document you have ready to send.

Distinguish Outlook Email from Other Fax Integrations

The Outlook workflow uses Email to Fax, without a native Fax.Plus Outlook add-in. Separate integrations serve other applications, including supported Microsoft Office tools. Developers can use the fax API for custom workflows rather than treating Outlook as an integration platform.

FAQs

Does Microsoft 365 include an Outlook fax service?

No. Outlook does not send faxes on its own. You need an external fax service to turn an email into a fax transmission. With Fax.Plus, you can use Outlook in Microsoft 365 to send supported attachments through an enabled Email to Fax account on a paid plan.

Can I send a fax from Outlook for free?

No. Fax.Plus Email to Fax requires a paid plan, even if you already have an Outlook account. The free sending allowance in the Fax.Plus web and mobile apps does not enable sending from Outlook. Check your plan, sender address, activation settings and available pages or credits before sending.

Do I need an Outlook fax add-in or fax button?

No Outlook add-in or native fax button is required for the Fax.Plus email workflow. Compose a normal email from your registered sender address and use the recipient format shown in the guide. Fax.Plus currently has no native Outlook add-in. Its Microsoft Office add-in serves separate supported applications.

Is the Fax.Plus API needed to fax from Outlook?

No. Outlook email sending does not require a developer integration or the Fax.Plus fax API. The API is a separate option for adding fax functionality to your own application. For this Outlook workflow, use your registered email address with a paid plan and Email to Fax enabled.

Do I need to visit a store to fax from Outlook?

No. With an enabled paid Fax.Plus account, you can send from Outlook wherever you have an internet connection. A store is an alternative if you prefer in-person service or need help scanning a paper document. The fax near me guide covers physical faxing locations.

O envio de fax por e-mail do Outlook é seguro?

Fax.Plus encrypts stored files using AES-256, with unique keys for each user. Protect access to your Outlook mailbox and Fax.Plus account, and verify the destination number before sending. Stored-file encryption does not make every email workflow appropriate for regulated information. HIPAA email faxing requires the separately configured Enterprise workflow described below.

Can I send HIPAA-compliant faxes from Outlook?

HIPAA fax by email requires Enterprise, Advanced Security Controls, a signed Business Associate Agreement and administrator setup for provisioned users. This configured workflow uses @tls.fax.plus for protected health information, rather than the standard @fax.plus procedure above. Ordinary paid Email to Fax is not the HIPAA workflow. Contact your account administrator to confirm the compliant workflow before sending protected health information.

Why does Outlook create a winmail.dat fax error?

Outlook’s Rich Text message format can bundle attachments into an unsupported winmail.dat file. Change the message format to HTML or Plain Text, then reattach the original documents and resend. A supported RTF document attachment is different from Outlook’s Rich Text message format. If your organization controls these settings, ask your IT administrator to check the outgoing format.
