OpenText Cloud Fax - Ziflow Integration and Automation

Common Integration Use Cases Between OpenText Cloud Fax and Ziflow

OpenText Cloud Fax and Ziflow serve very different but complementary business needs. OpenText Cloud Fax supports secure, compliant document transmission in regulated environments, while Ziflow manages creative review, markup, and approval workflows. When integrated, they can connect approval-driven content creation with controlled outbound distribution and inbound intake processes.

1. Send Approved Creative Assets by Fax for Regulated Distribution

Data flow: Ziflow to OpenText Cloud Fax

After a brochure, notice, consent form, or policy document is approved in Ziflow, the final PDF can be automatically routed to OpenText Cloud Fax for secure delivery to recipients who still require fax communication, such as clinics, law offices, government agencies, or field locations.

• Eliminates manual downloading and re-uploading of approved files
• Ensures only final, approved versions are transmitted
• Supports compliance where fax remains a required channel

2. Route Faxed Documents into Ziflow for Review and Approval

Data flow: OpenText Cloud Fax to Ziflow

Incoming faxed documents such as signed forms, marketing approvals, legal notices, or vendor submissions can be forwarded into Ziflow as review items. Teams can then annotate, comment, and approve the content before it is archived or redistributed.

• Creates a controlled review process for fax-originated content
• Reduces email-based forwarding and version confusion
• Improves visibility for legal, compliance, and operations teams

3. Approve Patient or Client Communication Templates Before Fax Distribution

Data flow: Ziflow to OpenText Cloud Fax

Healthcare, insurance, and public sector organizations often need to review standardized communication templates before sending them to external parties. Ziflow can manage the approval of letters, notices, and forms, then OpenText Cloud Fax can distribute the approved version to recipients who do not use digital channels.

• Supports controlled template governance
• Reduces risk of sending outdated or unapproved content
• Speeds up recurring communication cycles

4. Manage Legal or Compliance Review of Faxed Notices and Responses

Data flow: OpenText Cloud Fax to Ziflow

Organizations can capture faxed legal notices, regulatory correspondence, or dispute-related responses in OpenText Cloud Fax and automatically send them to Ziflow for internal review. Legal, compliance, and communications teams can annotate the document, assign approvers, and track sign-off before action is taken.

• Improves auditability of sensitive correspondence
• Creates a structured approval trail for regulated communications
• Helps teams respond faster to time-sensitive notices

5. Coordinate Cross-Functional Approval of External Campaign Materials That Must Be Faxed

Data flow: Bi-directional

Some campaigns, such as healthcare outreach, government notifications, or partner communications, require both creative approval and fax delivery. Ziflow can manage the review of the campaign asset, while OpenText Cloud Fax handles the final outbound transmission to fax-only recipients. Status updates can be synchronized so teams know when content is approved and when it has been sent.

• Aligns creative, compliance, and operations teams
• Reduces delays between approval and distribution
• Provides end-to-end visibility from draft to delivery

6. Capture Signed or Marked-Up Fax Documents for Creative or Operational Revision

Data flow: OpenText Cloud Fax to Ziflow

When a faxed document returns with handwritten edits, signatures, or redlines, OpenText Cloud Fax can route the file into Ziflow for structured review. This is useful for contracts, ad approvals, release forms, or content change requests that require internal discussion before the next version is produced.

• Converts unstructured fax feedback into a managed workflow
• Supports version control and comment tracking
• Reduces the chance of missing handwritten changes

7. Archive Approved Proofs and Fax Transmissions Together for Audit and Records Management

Data flow: Bi-directional

Organizations can connect Ziflow approval records with OpenText Cloud Fax transmission logs to create a complete audit trail. This is valuable for regulated content, where proof of approval and proof of delivery must be retained together for compliance, legal discovery, or internal governance.

• Links approval evidence with delivery evidence
• Supports retention and audit requirements
• Improves traceability across departments

These integrations are especially valuable in healthcare, legal, government, and other regulated industries where content approval and secure delivery must work together without manual handoffs.
