Test Mode (Fax Disabled)

Enable this option when you want to exercise the Admin Console, SDKs, or automated tests without reaching any real fax provider.

How it works

• Faxbot skips all outbound provider calls and immediately returns simulated responses
• Jobs move through queued → SUCCESS with mock metadata (pages, provider SID)
• Upload, PDF conversion, and storage flows still run so you can validate file handling
• Ideal for CI pipelines, demos, and smoke tests in clinics before production go-live

Configure

1. Admin Console → Setup Wizard
2. Choose Test Mode (Fax Disabled)
3. Apply. Faxbot writes FAX_DISABLED=true in the config store.

You can still enable authentication, storage, and inbound settings—only outbound transmission is short-circuited.

Tips

• Pair with the API key helper to validate auth flows without burning provider credits
• Use the SDKs’ built-in health checks to confirm connectivity while remaining in a sandbox state
• When you are ready for real faxes, rerun the Setup Wizard, choose your provider, and apply the changes. Faxbot rolls back the simulation automatically.
