Add a new dialplan application (see [**Dialplan Applications**](/mikopbx/english/manual/modules/dialplan-applications.md)).

2. Assign an internal number, for example, **2200110**.

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

', $faxFile); unlink($faxFile); } sleep(1); ``` {% hint style="success" %} In the code, replace '' with your own email address. {% endhint %}

4. Go to the "**System file customization**" section.

5. Open the "**extensions.conf**" file for editing.

6. Add the folowwing code to the end of file: ```php [SIP-1687941868-incoming](+) exten => fax,1,Goto(internal,2200100,1) ```

Replace "2200100" with the number of **your** application. In the code, replace "**SIP-1687941868**" with your provider's ID. You can find it in the provider's card in the browser's address bar.

7. Open the "**modules.conf**" file for editing.

8. Add the following code to the end of the file: ```php load => res_fax.so load => res_fax_spandsp.so ```
