If you can receive fax, all you need to fax-to-email is a working SMTP configuration.
This would be a lot easier if you attempted it and provided logs or images of what you've tried.

Thanks James for replying and what do you mean by working SMTP Configuration? Do i need to install Postfix for this ?? or anything else?
Can you please write down the steps that are involved in email to fax ?
And there's no email option like i don't even know how to send fax from email to fax and fax to email

You don't have to install anything.
How would email magically work if you don't have an upstream?
Same concept as how would outbound calling work if you don't have a gateway registered to a provider?

Can you please write down the steps that are involved in email to fax ?
No, because it's already documented on the official documentation;
https://docs.fusionpbx.com/en/latest/advanced/default_settings/email.html

@rjunaid , while I do not have an explanation for why it is not working for you, in general, I have found gmail to be cumbersome to use for this type of purposes. You may want to look into services such as mailjet, mailchimp, sendinblue, etc. Their purpose is to be used by third party applcations to send emails. Perhaps that would work better for you. It does for me for other applications I have.

Good luck.

were you able to get SSL or TLS email working. I could not , I used port 25 and it worked but i prefer SSL 465 ..any feedback ?

in my case it works with 465 and ssl
email to fax is very unreliable
however sending fax via gui always works

for Gmail SMTP Server, login to GMAIL and turn on 2 step authentication>>> than under 2 step authentication create app password and it will generate a password use that password here in PBX, it will work
