how to create SSIS package to send Fax using RightFax
I need to create a nightly job such that it populates a word template with the values from Sql Server database and Fax and email that document using RightFax

I believe they have documented the programming interface in the client help files. If not, search their website for that documentation - which is fairly clear on how to use the API.

Then, all you should need to do is install the Rightfax client on the server where you will be running SSIS - and then you can call the API from within a script task. There is another task you can use - cannot recall what it is called, but it is used to execute a process.

You will also need Word installed on the server - and that might cause some issues. If I remember correctly, merging in Word requires an active desktop environment which may not work from within SSIS.

for running this nightly,create a job in sql agent to call this package and schedule it to be executed nightly.
Another way to call API is to use Execute process task.
