# Forward Fax to Email or Another Fax Number

Once a fax lands in your inbox, you can pass it along without leaving the desktop app. Forwarding is handy when you need to share a document with coworkers right away or keep a copy somewhere for later. A received fax can go to an email address or to another fax machine.

## Forward a fax to an email address

1. Open the fax you want to forward.
   1. In the Cloud Voice App, go to **Fax Management > Fax**.
   2. Find the fax in the list, click the ![More actions](/images/pbx/arrow-down-bold.png) menu on its right, and choose **Forward**.

2. In the dialog that appears, fill in the delivery details.
   1. Set **Forward To** to **Email**.
   2. Click **Add**, pick an email type, and enter where the fax should go. You can create up to **5** email entries.

      | Email type | What it does |
      | --- | --- |
      | Extension's Email | Delivers the fax as an email attachment to the mailboxes of the extension users you pick. Choose the extensions from the **Extension/Email** drop-down list. |
      | Specified Email | Delivers the fax as an email attachment to an address you type. Enter the address in the **Extension/Email** field. |

      :::note
      For the **Extension's Email** option, make sure each selected extension already has a valid email address on file. Extensions without one will not receive the fax.

   3. Click **Save**. The fax is sent to each recipient as an email attachment.

## Forward a fax to another fax number

If your administrator has given you permission to send faxes, you can relay a received fax to a different fax number.

1. Open the fax you want to forward.
   1. In the Cloud Voice App, go to **Fax Management > Fax**.
   2. Find the fax in the list, click the ![More actions](/images/pbx/arrow-down-bold.png) menu on its right, and choose **Forward**.

2. In the dialog, set **Forward To** to **Fax**, then click **Save**. The fax sending page opens.

3. Finish the remaining fields on the sending page to complete the forward.

   :::caution
   Unlike the email path (which sends the moment you click **Save**), forwarding to a fax number is not finished at **Save**. Save only opens the sending page. The fax is not relayed until you fill in the sending page and send it, so the recipient gets nothing if you stop early.
