# Configuring Fax to Email

This guide will quickly run you through how to enable Fax to Email within the Hosted Network VoIPNow platform.

VoIPNow will send all Fax to Email notifications to the email address configured within the User Account the extension resides within. You can confirm what is configured by navigating to the user account and clicking "Edit User", this will open the configured settings for that user.

**Step 1.** Login to the VoIPNow portal (<https://sip01.mhn.net.au>) and navigate to the extension you want to enable Fax to Email on (If you don't have one simply create a new extension)

**Step 5.** Tick the radio button next to "Send fax by email" if you want to receive an email with the actual fax attached to it, otherwise tick the other radio button if you just want a notification that you've received a new fax

**Step 6.** Tick the box next to "Fax automatically answers after" and put 0 in the field to the right, this will make it so that the fax immediately answers the call
