I am doing alot of insurance related advocacy so unsecured emails will not be HIPPA compliant, so I have 100’s of Ifaxes already sent. Now that I have my contacts in Hubspot what is best way to get the -

1) already sent faxes attached to the contact

2) connect IFAX to hubspot and automate follow ups?

Thanks-first question!

Hey, @TCjr :waving_hand: Great question! Can you tell our community more about what you’ve already tried? Info like:

  • Is there an existing Zap for this?
  • Have you looked into tools like n8n?
  • Do you have developer resources?

These details help our community members better understand how to help you. Thanks! — Jaycee

Hi @TCjr You’re right that unsecured email isn’t HIPAA compliant,

So storing those iFax documents safely in HubSpot is the first challenge. HubSpot doesn’t have a native fax connector, but you can attach past faxes to contact records by uploading them manually as files and associating with each contact, or by using the Files API and Engagements API together

That way you keep a digital record tied to each contact for compliance.

For ongoing automation, Zapier or n8n can act as a bridge. If iFax exposes an API or webhook, you could trigger a zap/flow every time a new fax arrives > parse metadata (sender, subject, etc.) > create a note or attachment on the right HubSpot contact.

From there you can use HubSpot workflows

Just a quick heads-up: even when using Zapier or custom APIs, you’ll want to validate that the connection respects HIPAA storage and transport requirements. Sometimes that means you need a signed BAA with the vendor before you can safely push PHI around.

On the integration side, many teams in your position start with Zapier but find it fragile as volumes grow. For what it’s worth, we built Stacksync exactly for these cases: taking data (like fax metadata or attachments) from one system and syncing it in real time into HubSpot with enterprise-grade security.

Because it runs as true two-way sync with event triggers, you don’t need to hand-code pipelines or babysit Zaps, and it can be set up to meet HIPAA requirements out-of-the-box.

Happy to walk you through a quick pilot if helpful.

Hope this helps.
