    Have a ticket in with support, but has any one have users reporting the outbound faxes are stuck in Preparing Fax state. Logging off and on does not clear them, also seeing them when they log onto the website. So far I have 4 users reporting this issue.

    Hi Zack and Erik,

    A colleague of mine asked our developers about this issue and found that there is an undocumented tool in PureCloud called Disconnect Interactions. To find it, click Admin > Routing. If you do not see it, contact PureCloud Customer Care and ask them to enable it for your organization.

    You can learn more about this undocumented tool in this PureCloud Community post:

    Hey Ed,

    Faxes do not appear in the interaction section of PureCloud, that was the first thing I thought of when they were having fax issues was to "disconenct" the interaction but we do not have the capabilities of performing said actions on a fax as I cannot track down the Interaction ID. 

    Thanks

    It is a known issue, and development has a fix pending. I don't have a timeline for the fix to be released, but it is documented.

    Hey Lucie, the three individuals in my org (me + 2 others) are still seeing the "Preparing fax" in the application. I've logged out and logged back in. Should I have Customer Care take a look?

    You should be able to close out any existing pending faxes using the Disconnect interactions admin ui. You will need the disconnect conversation permission to see this - it's up to you to determine who in your org should have this permission.

    Hi Erik,

    This article explains how to get your Interaction ID, which is sometimes referred to as a Conversation ID:

    I overlooked the interactions and they do actually appear. They appeared as this in my interactions panel:

    Thanks for your help everyone.

    That article does not cover this, I checked in chrome and the app, not seeing the ID. I will double check chrome again with the users.

    All, here is what I have done to clear out my stuck processing faxes. I went Performance> Interactions  - filtered on outbound calls that seemed to not have anyone associated with them, then found the fax interaction ID. I then used the disconnect interactions tool under Admin> Routing> Disconnect Interactions. I noticed that even if it said it disconnected, it would not, not on the first try. I then went back in 24-48 hours later and ran the tool again and they released. I am not sure if this will work for you all, but that is how I released mine and a few of our customers.
