Call Skype (DTMF) - Easy conference calls with skype

[maxandersen]

Hi,

 

Overview

 

Dialing conference call numbers are annoying and the default Skype call will not obey standard pause character (',') to allow you to automatically connect to a conference calls.

 

This workflow allow you to do exactly that.

 

Setup

 

Install the workflow and go to Contacts in Alfred and add "Call Skype (DTMF)" as custom action for a Phone Number.

 

Usage

 

Now when browsing your contacts and press enter on a number a dialog will be shown verifying what will be called and then you can say yes or no. 

 

If you say yes, Skype will be used to dial the number.

 

For example: +41 2345678,,8765343# will dial +412345678 first and then pause for each comma (,) and send the rest.

Nice!

 

To wait for Skype to launch so that the applescript can talk to Skype API properly is frustrating. I see that you used a blocking dialog window, not a bad idea!
