iFax for Google Workspace features a collection of popular productivity tools like Drive, Gmail, Docs, Sheets, and Slides. iFax also supports third-party app integrations, bringing all your favorite tools together in one place. This way, you won’t have to leave the platform to access other software tools like iFax.

Yes, that means you can send and receive faxes directly from Google Workspace. As long as you have an iFax account, you can use the productivity suite to view, manage, and send faxes. It also takes no less than a few minutes to configure.

Install the Google Workspace iFax add-on

  1. From your iFax dashboard, go to Tools > Integrations.
  2. Select Google Workspace. It should take you to the iFax: HIPAA Online Fax add-on page on Google Workspace Marketplace.
  3. Click Install and select Continue. Grant permission for the add-on to access your Workspace data.

That’s it. You should see a quick animation demonstrating how to use the add-on.

Once installed, you can access the add-on via the Google App Launcher (the 9 dots icon next to your account avatar).

You can find it at the bottom of your apps list.
