ZapTXT Alerts Via Skype - Just Released

We just released Skype support for ZapTXT! You can now receive your ZapTXT IM alerts in your Skype chat window just as you do with our other IM client delivery mechanisms. This was a new approach to implementing IM clients for ZapTXT as another step towards supporting our new feed monitoring architecture. Not to mention, ZapTXT alerts just look very neat in a Skype chat window. All credit to the Skype client for this, of course.

Here’s what you need to get started:

Existing ZapTXT users:

  • log-in to ZapTXT and go Settings
  • change your IM settings by entering your Skype username
  • Select Skype from the dropdown menu of IM clients
  • Remember to add ZapTXT as a contact on your Skype contact list. And you’re done!

New ZapTXT users:

  • Go to ZapTXT and set up an alert (don’t worry, we’ll walk you through the process)
  • On the set up page you can select from any one of the IM client options
  • Enter your Skype ID and Select Skype from the dropdown menu of IM clients
  • Remember to add ZapTXT as a contact in your Skype contact list.

Heres what your alerts will look like:

Happy Zapping, Sameer

P.S. Kudos to Paul, Eduard and Xavier for making this happen.
