See sendfax -i option
 
       -i identifier
                   Use  the identifier string in any notification
                   messages instead of the usual  job  identifier
                   number.   This  option  is useful for applica­
                   tions that cross reference  notification  mes­
                   sages against job submissions.

You can create a wrapper that calls /usr/bin/sendfax and does whatever you like:
- do some pre-processing
- call /usr/bin/sendfax
- get the jobid HylaFAX assigned to the job (output of /usr/bin/sendfax)
- do post-processing
