How Emergent Works with HumbleFax in Real Time

STEP 1: Describe your app

Example: "Build a document communication hub that automatically sends HumbleFax transmissions for Salesforce contract approvals, stores received faxes in Google Drive, logs all transmissions to Airtable, and sends Slack alerts when important documents are received."

STEP 2: Declare integrations

Say "HumbleFax + Salesforce + Google Drive + Airtable + Slack." Emergent sets up providers, authentication flows, and recommended connection methods automatically.

STEP 3: Secure credentials

Generate your HumbleFax API Access Key and Secret Key from the developer dashboard. Emergent handles HTTP Basic Authentication credential management. Keys are stored in an encrypted vault with environment isolation for development, staging, and production environments.

STEP 4: Select fax data and map properties

Emergent automatically introspects HumbleFax's data schema, including fax transmissions, recipient numbers, document attachments, delivery status, timestamps, and transmission history. It then guides you to accurately map properties across systems, such as Recipient Number to Salesforce contact fax field, Received Document to Drive folder, Transmission Record to Airtable row, and Important Fax Alert to Slack notification.

STEP 5: Real-time and scheduled flows

Configure triggers for HumbleFax transmission events like successful sends, delivery confirmations, and document receipts. Set up scheduled syncs for daily fax history reports, or define on-demand actions like bulk fax sending triggered by CRM workflow completions.

STEP 6: Test and preview

Run test fax transmissions, simulate delivery confirmation workflows, validate document routing and storage logic, check logs for errors, and let Emergent automatically handle authentication and retries.

STEP 7: Deploy

Deploy your app with one click, complete with versioning, monitoring, error alerts, and usage analytics. You can easily roll back to previous versions or iterate on prompts to add new features.

STEP 8: Expand

Add new capabilities like AI-powered document classification, automated signature workflow routing, optical character recognition (OCR) for fax archiving, or connect additional tools like DocuSign, Box, or NetSuite without rewrites. Simply describe what you need, and Emergent adapts your workflow.
