Most of the time vtiger users searching modules for sending Fax and some time SMS to their customers. Actually writing a separate module for sending Fax may be a time consuming work. So that here I am going to explain how extend possibility of vtiger Email module to send Fax. If you good enough to understand this process, you can update this module to send SMS also.

For sending emails we are normally using our own SMTP server. But we have to use some commercial API to send FAX and SMS. In here lets we select two commonly use APIs like "Interfax" and "clickatell" to send Fax and SMS. These APIs are providing email supported APIs to send Fax and SMS. That is why we can use vtiger Email module to send Fax and SMS.

From this post I am not going to explain step by step who to hack Email module to send Fax and SMS because it is not a stride forward process. Actually I want to explain that we can use Vtiger Email module to send Fax and SMS other than sending emails after applying simple code hack. Please contact me or reply to this post if is there any one who interesting with this post.
