RightFax COM API --> Web API conversion setting UniqueId

mcrose

I'm converting a COM API client to WebAPI, and encountering a problem setting UniqueId when sending a fax.

In COMAPI we would create a Fax Object, add attachments and set the fax.UniqueId, add attachments, set phone and send
RFCOMAPILib.Fax fx = faxServer.CreateObject[RFCOMAPILib.CreateObjectType.coFax];fx.UniqueID = mps.Ssendid;
fx.Attachments.Add(tiffName, RFCOMAPILib.BoolType.False);
fx.UniqueID = "ourJobId";
fx.ToFaxNumber = "5551212";
…
fx.Send();

In WebAPI we create a SendJob, set the same parameters except UniqueId which is not a property of SendJob. So after we PUT the SendJob, we retrieve the Documents for the SendJob and PUT the Document back to the WebAPI.

Well, it turns out I can set the the FolderId, but the UniqueId does not get set, and I can't add Tags with the Document PUT either.

Any ideas how to set a value on the outbound fax so when I come back to review the status of the Faxes (Documents) I can get my key "outJobId" back?

However we reached the respective team and below is their reply

In the SendJob, the Tags dictionary can be used to attach custom tags to a job. Tags are copied to every document created by that job, so you can look for those tags in documents to related them back to the SendJob.

And adding one particular Tag to the the SendJob, UniqueID, propogates to the Documents.UniqueID.

I haven't looked at the Document.Tags yet, adding the UniqueID Tag to the SendJob
SendJob.Tags.Add("UniqueID", "myuniqueid");
before POSTing the SendJob, results in the Document.UniqueID being updated to "myuniqueid".

Can the respective team let me know if these backdoors are documented anyplace, or do we just have to ask the right people?

Below is the reply from the respective team.

Here's a list of SendJob tags that provide useful functionality:

FromName

FromVoiceNumber

FromFaxNumber

BillingCode1

BillingCode2

Notes

Comment

Comments

CoversheetNotes

CoversheetComment

FromPhoneNumber

CoversheetFineMode

FineModeBody

FromCompanyVoiceNumber

FromCompanyFaxNumber

UseSmartResume

CreatePdfImage

CityState

RecipientFaxId

AutomaticallyDelete

UseCertifiedDelivery

NotificationAddress

UseCheapRates

UniqueId

I thought these tags were documented in the API swagger docs; if not, they should be added.
