IFTTT update: Stay connected with Skype and IFTTT

Skype is now on IFTTT

Hundreds of millions of people all over the world rely on Skype to stay in touch. It’s been around for over a decade, and in that time some amazing things have happened. Centennial birthdays have been celebrated over video chat. A soldier 6000 miles away saw his son enter the world. Best friends found each other, a world apart. Classrooms have been connected, and businesses have been built.

That’s why we’re excited to announce that Skype is now on IFTTT, in a unique way. Here’s how to have a new kind of conversation, with the Skype Channel:

1. Connect your Skype account to IFTTT.

2. Add the IFTTT Bot to your Skype contacts.

3. Add a few Recipes! When your Recipe runs, the IFTTT Bot will automatically join your conversations to share the relevant information. Don’t worry — it won’t pipe up unless you’ve instructed it to, by adding a Recipe.

There are already lots of Skype Recipes availble to try. We’ve selected a couple of our favorites below – you can share news, weather, or let a loved one know you’re on your way:
