Call phone numbers via Skype from Filemaker Pro

Placing calls via SkypeOut from FileMaker Pro

With just a single click on a button in your application you can place a Skype call.

You need a prepaid SkypeOut account.

In the database you need a phone number field - e.g. "n.phone.number" - to be filled in the following format:

31301234567

where

31 = country code for the Netherlands
30 = area code for Utrecht
1234567 = the subscriber number

Now create a calculation field "c.call.via.skype":

"callto:+" & n.phone.number

Now create a script "Call phone via SkypeOut" with only one line of code:

"Open URL" [No dialog, "c.call.via.skype"]

That's all;=)

Good luck!
