one that wouldn't work with my FreePBX setup
Why do you want the fax to work only with FreePBX rather than being a separate thing? Not saying that that is bad, but since FreePBX doesn't support faxing over web for reliability and security, why stick to it as the fax part of your solution?

Something that Skyetel told me was not their goal.
Because it's not a thing.

Well - if Skyefax can save directly to OneDrive for Business, I suppose that could work - which means if Skyefax sends to email it could be made to work...
But - as JB pointed out, it's 3 times the price I pay now for the solution I have in place that already works well.

Is it? Where did he point that out?

You can do THAT with the old solutions, too.

Skyetel is $.03/m for faxing
For SkyeFax
Normal faxing to the PBX is based on your inbound per minute cost. Of which, the Skyetel retail rate is $0.01/minute for inbound.
Relationship pricing is lower.
Right here.
Skyefax = $0.03/min
Skyetel normal inbound = $0.01/min -

yes of course, no one ever said it couldn't. The whole OD4B is pretty new for my solutions.
Previously - we terminated faxes on local fax machine and saved the files to an internal self controlled SMB share. No paper was involved until and unless a person wanted a hard copy.

Oh, I thought you were using Cox lines now, not VoIP.

Like you - I talk from many angles since I support a day job and do consulting.
From my day job - we mostly have our faxes delivered directly to our EMR vendor and they handle much of the processing - those they can't, they dump into a bucket inside the EMR for us to handle.
We also have a few remaining fax lines from Cox, mostly for outbound, that I am trying to get rid of.As for my consulting clients - some use a third party directly into the LOB software, some use use faxes into FreePBX -> O365 email box -> Power Automate -> Sharepoint location.
I'm sure I don't always spell it out which I'm talking about when I'm writing something.

Ah, I see. Yes, that makes it cheaper. We've found that that requires so much support and has reliability problems that's less expensive to have customers on SkyeFax so that it is direct to email and rock solid and essentially zero effort (and no worries about automation steps.)

We've tried to setup the same type of workflow before with Power Automate, but Power Automate never seems to work like the documentation says it should. Even Microsoft support couldn't get it working.
The Microsoft support wasn't a surprise to me, but my boss acted like he'd never heard of Microsoft support failing before.

Interesting - I had no issues with it, though what i wanted is/was pretty simple and straight forward.

@dashrender I can't seem to find a way to do this without using an account, either one of my users or creating a "service" account.

Funny because it could be true. -

It is very hard to say that whether they will die and remain out of the market. Such inventions are the ones which become the part of people everyday's routine. The Assignment Help UK Cheap services also have individuals in the team which produce the assignments after deep and thorough research to help the individuals lay the foundation for various inventions etc.
it may never die 100%, just like VHS and Betamax players are still out there and used by few.
