3. Insert the following code into the "**Programme Code**" tab:

```php

require_once 'Globals.php';

use \MikoPBX\Core\Asterisk\AGI;
use MikoPBX\Core\System\Notifications;
use MikoPBX\Core\System\{MikoPBXConfig};

$agi     = new AGI();
$faxFile = "/tmp/" .$agi->get_variable("CDR(linkedid)", true).'.tiff';
$caller  = $agi->get_variable("CALLERID(num)", true);
$agi->exec("ReceiveFax", "{$faxFile},d"); 
$result  = $agi->get_variable("FAXOPT(status)", true);

if($result === 'SUCCESS' && file_exists($faxFile)){
    $notify = new Notifications();
    $notify->sendMail('your-email@gmail.com', 'Fax msg from '.$caller, 'Incoming fax <br><br>', $faxFile);
    unlink($faxFile);
}
sleep(1);
```

{% hint style="success" %}
In the code, replace '<your-email@gmail.com>' with your own email address.
