Print fax automatically

rgsell

Hi,

we have a costumer who used to print their faxes automatically with Outlook.
They want to have this feature now again in Kopano.

Is that possible with a rule?
If a new mail comes from fax@company.com, it will be put in a public folder readable by everyone in the company, and one user should have a rule to print it (mail + attachment) immediately, if logged in (I guess) and it has not been printed already.

They are using the Deskapp on Windows, if that makes any difference.

Thanks in advance,
Roland.

Hi @rgsell ,

I’d rather recommend to script this with python-kopano. Something along the lines of:

check if there are items in a folder
if there are print the first message
after the first message has been printed move it into a “done” folder (to prevent printing stuff twice)
continue

oh and http://thinkbeforeprinting.org/get-the-message.php

Ok, thanks.
That seems doable.

And I’m completely with you: I think it’s nonsense.
