It's that wonderous time again. The birds are chirping, the sun is shining and, Phaxio is rolling out a bunch of new updates. So buckle up and let me take you on a tour of our new wonders.

Better Response Time

Our goal at Phaxio is not only to make faxing super-simple for you, but to make transmissions as fast as possible. We’ve been working on getting fax times down and we’ve seen some marked improvements. With the newest release, you should expect response times from the API to be about 2 minutes faster!  While that’s awesome, stay tuned because we’re gearing up to throw this puppy into overdrive and go even faster.

String Data Now Accepted

You wanted it, you got it. Go ahead and send string data, both html and text strings are supported. Check out the example cURL below:

curl https://www.phaxio.com/api/v1/send \

  -F 'to=5551234568' \
  -F 'string_data=<h1>My Heading</h1>
My paragraph.' \
  -F 'string_data_type=html' \
  -F 'api_key=YOUR_API_KEY' \
  -F 'api_secret=YOUR_API_SECRET' \

Updating Dashboard UI

Dashboard UI updates are important if they make your life easier; that’s what we think anyway. From now on, your dashboard will automatically add faxes as they come in and update their statuses as they change.  Forget refreshing the page - if you’re watching your dash, you’re seeing the most up to date information.

Time Zone Preferences

Need timestamps to be in a specific timezone and format? Fear not! Head over to the “Account” tab, input your timezone and choose a timestamp preference.  

What’s Next?

We’re still hard at work over here, so stay tuned because we’re getting ready to give you faster response times and your very own dedicated fax numbers. If you’re got advice, feedback or just something to get off your chest, let us know!
