I'm trying to set up tasker so that it will automatically place a video call with a specific contact when triggered.

So far the most promising thread I've encountered was this one: skype call using username in android Which isn't about tasker intents, it turns out.

Would it be possible to accomplish this using tasker And if so, how?

Many thanks

oh, but it is about intents :)

only those, that are used when writing code.

the ones you need are like:

  • Start a skype audio call
    • Action: android.intent.action.VIEW
    • Data URI: skype:CONTACT?call
  • Start a skype video call
    • Action: android.intent.action.VIEW
    • Data URI: skype:CONTACT?call&video=true
  • Start a skype chat
    • Action: android.intent.action.VIEW
    • Data URI: skype:CONTACT?chat

To realise Tomaskis proposal:

  1. Open Tasker

  2. Tap on register Task

  3. Create new Task

  4. First command:

Open Skype app with 'App' - 'Launch App'. Always open with new copy

  1. Second command:

Open 'System' - 'Send intent'

  1. Add data, as mentioned above. Data URI is data. Replace CONTACT with original Skype user name

Important:

Use original Skype Username. To find: open Skype, goto chat, open chat to whom you want to send the message, tap on picture of user/contact (profile will open), then find skype username.. it can also be something like.. live3c..
