Adobe Commerce (Magento) - OpenText Cloud Fax Integration and Automation

Common Integration Use Cases Between Adobe Commerce and OpenText Cloud Fax

1. Fax-Based Order Submission for B2B Customers

Data flow: OpenText Cloud Fax to Adobe Commerce

B2B buyers in regulated or traditional industries can submit purchase orders by fax, and OpenText Cloud Fax can route the incoming documents into Adobe Commerce as draft orders or order requests for review. This is useful for customers who still rely on fax for procurement, especially in healthcare, government, and industrial supply chains.

• Reduces manual rekeying of faxed orders into the commerce system
• Speeds up order capture and improves accuracy
• Supports customers who cannot or will not place orders online

2. Automated Fax Delivery of Order Confirmations and Invoices

Data flow: Adobe Commerce to OpenText Cloud Fax

After an order is placed in Adobe Commerce, order confirmations, invoices, and shipping notices can be generated and sent automatically via OpenText Cloud Fax to customers or internal departments that require faxed documentation. This is especially valuable when fax is part of the customer?s compliance or recordkeeping process.

• Ensures timely delivery of transactional documents
• Supports compliance-driven communication preferences
• Reduces customer service follow-up for missing paperwork

3. Faxed Credit Applications and Account Setup for B2B Commerce

Data flow: OpenText Cloud Fax to Adobe Commerce

New B2B customers can submit credit applications, tax exemption forms, and account setup documents by fax. OpenText Cloud Fax can capture and route these documents into Adobe Commerce workflows for account approval, enabling faster onboarding of company accounts and quote-enabled buyers.

• Streamlines B2B customer onboarding
• Improves turnaround time for credit and compliance review
• Creates a more complete audit trail for account setup

4. Fax-Enabled Returns, Claims, and Warranty Processing

Data flow: Bi-directional

Customers can fax return authorizations, warranty claims, or supporting documentation into OpenText Cloud Fax, which then links the documents to the relevant Adobe Commerce order or customer record. Adobe Commerce can also trigger faxed return instructions, claim forms, or approval notices back to the customer.

• Improves handling of post-purchase service requests
• Keeps supporting documents tied to the original order
• Helps service teams manage regulated or paper-based workflows

5. Fax Routing for High-Touch Sales and Quote Management

Data flow: Bi-directional

For complex B2B sales, quotes, pricing approvals, and negotiated terms can be exchanged by fax when required by the customer or internal policy. Adobe Commerce can generate quote documents, while OpenText Cloud Fax can receive signed approvals and route them back into the quote workflow for conversion to order.

• Supports customers that require signed fax approvals
• Accelerates quote-to-order conversion
• Maintains a documented approval trail for negotiated deals

6. Compliance Document Exchange for Regulated Product Sales

Data flow: Adobe Commerce to OpenText Cloud Fax

When selling regulated products, Adobe Commerce can send required documents such as safety data sheets, product certifications, or controlled distribution notices through OpenText Cloud Fax to approved recipients. This helps ensure that compliance-sensitive communications are delivered through a secure and auditable channel.

• Supports regulated industry requirements
• Provides delivery confirmation and auditability
• Reduces risk of sending sensitive documents through informal channels

7. Internal Fax Workflow for Order Exceptions and Fulfillment Escalations

Data flow: Adobe Commerce to OpenText Cloud Fax

When an order in Adobe Commerce requires manual intervention, such as address verification, backorder approval, or special handling, the system can send exception documents by fax to warehouse teams, suppliers, or branch offices. This is useful where operational teams still depend on fax for fast, reliable document exchange.

• Improves exception handling across fulfillment teams
• Reduces delays caused by email overload or disconnected systems
• Helps coordinate with external partners that use fax as a standard channel

8. Archiving Faxed Commerce Documents into Enterprise Content Repositories

Data flow: OpenText Cloud Fax to Adobe Commerce

Faxed documents related to orders, contracts, and customer communications can be captured through OpenText Cloud Fax and linked to Adobe Commerce records, then stored in connected enterprise content management processes for retention and retrieval. This creates a more complete customer and transaction history across sales, service, and compliance teams.

• Improves document traceability across the order lifecycle
• Supports retention and audit requirements
• Makes it easier for customer service and finance teams to access supporting records
