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);
