Greetings friends.
I am trying to automate some daily tasks and I had an idea.
Problem
In a daily basis, I have to send messages to other team members regarding banking taxes and others. Have been doing that for 3 years already and its very exhausting. Still, it has to be done through skype or another application of the same kind that has compliance permission.
Prospected Solution
Alteryx has some tools that are able to open applications with CMD. With that in mind, I think its possible to open skype. The next step would be for it to send messages.
To send messages we could try to create a validator that validates the name of a person or the e-mail registry linked to his skype account so that it won't send random messages to people that should not receive private information.
With that in mind, I come to this community to brainstorm ideas to make this possible.
Thank you very much guys.
Hi @Joker_Hazard ,
Nice usecase. In the spirit of brainstorming, i came across a Desktop API for Skype:-

Have you tried connecting to this using Alteryx and automating it that way?
Hope this helps taking your thought process forward.
Best,
