Integrate your web order form with our service and your web-site visitors simply selects SUBMIT to send the web-form to your fax machine.

For example, fast-food establishments demand a fast and reliable means of delivering the order direct to the kitchen, either on paper or an SMS message for you to call the customer to accept the order.

Ozefax can offer fast delivery of web orders directly to a fax machine or to a mobile-phone.

We're currently delivering orders to establishments offering: Chinese / Sandwiches / Indian / Thai / Sushi - and of course Pizza !

Usually the order is made on a web-form, you use a web-form-to-email script to send the order to us, we convert it to a fax and deliver the order to you on paper. You can expect the order to arrive in the kitchen within 30 seconds.

For all this to work you simply need to register the e-mail address that appears in the FROM: field of your web form with us, and then address the TO: field of your web form to:

[CountryCode][AreaCode without the zero][FaxNumber]@faxmail.com
For example: 61294750540@faxmail.com


Information for those creating their own web site.

When a web-form is completed and the 'submit' button is pressed it's usual for the forms contents to be delivered to you by email. Our systems automatically deliver email messages to fax machines - so it's simply a case of typing your fax number (in the receipent field) followed by @faxmail.com and the message transmit to your fax instead.

Ok, but the question remains - how do I get my form to send an email...

There are several ways of achieving this - the overiding factor when deciding the approach is what facilities you have at your ISP / Web-Host. Most good ISP's will have some information on this subject, they will probably have a 'form to email' script installed somewhere on their server for your use and maybe even some example forms. Checkout what your ISP has - look for 'form to email'.

The most common method is to use a 'form to email' 'CGI script', usually installed in the 'cgi-bin' directory. There are many such scripts freely available on the 'net which mostly work in the same way - but the details will vary depending on the script you're using.

The 'action' of the form is set to the location of your 'form to email' script, maybe:

<form name="testform" action="http://www.yourbusiness.com/cgi-bin/form2email.pl" >

When the 'submit' button is pressed on the form, the browser wil send the contents of the form to the script you specify.

Usually - as a minimum you'll need to add the recipients email address to the form. This will be your fax number and it is added as if it's another field on the form, the number we will use is an Australian number (61), in Sydney (2):

<input type="hidden" name="recipient" value="61294750540@faxmail.com">

In this case we've used the field name 'recipient' but this will depend on what your script requires.
Notice that the type of the field is set to 'hidden' - this simply hides the field so it doesn't show up on the form.

Here's a simplistic example:

<form name="testform" action="http://www.yourbusiness.com/cgi-bin/form2email.pl" >

<p><input type="hidden" name="recipient" value="61294750540@faxmail.com"> </p>
<p>name:    <input type="text"   name="name">     </p>
<p>address: <input type="text"   name="address">  </p>
<p><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit"> </p>

</form>

- that's it!
