Building a click-to-call or click-to-talk “call button” application is not hard. In fact, it’s so easy it would likely take you less than a day to build it using the Lypp API but I am saying 7 days, I too can be a lazy-ass.

If you want to go head-to-head with the likes of Google, Jajah, Jaxtr, Jangl, Skype, eStara or anyone else in this game you can literally do it overnight using the Lypp API.


Below is a description of these elements:

scheduled-to-start-at
The time the conference should start at. Can be in many different forms, below are some examples:
Relative Times

* now
* thursday
* november
* friday 13:00
* mon 2:35
* 4pm
* 6 in the morning
* friday 1pm
* sat 7 in the evening
* today
* tomorrow
* this tuesday
* next month
* this morning
* this second
* tomorrow at 6:45pm

If you saw the reference to “conferences” above you will likely have guessed that our API can handle not just click-to -call for a one-to-one callback scenario but could easily serve as a click-to-conference call button. This could be used for weekly team meetings where the same people are in the call all the time but the time for the meetings vary.

Get coding already!

We have been exchanging some ideas with the guys at 37signals and we have come up with what we think is a very cool mashup contest. Here is what we came up with…

Developers, build a mashup application or mashup your existing application using both the Highrise API and the Lypp API and win stuff.

Best app:

  • $3000 Apple gift certificate
  • 20,000 minutes of call time from Lypp (approx value: $1800)
  • 12 months subscription for a Highrise MAX account (approx value: $1800)

Runner-up:

  • $1500 Apple gift certificate
  • 10,000 minutes of call time from Lypp (approx value: $900)
  • 6 months subscription for a Highrise MAX account (approx value: $900)

2nd Runner-up:

  • $500 Apple gift certificate
  • 5,000 minutes of call time from Lypp (approx value: $450)
  • 3 month subscription for a Highrise MAX account (approx value: $450)

Application for entries: April 1 to May 1
Winners announced: May 15

We are giving you plenty of time to think about what you want to create using the Lypp and Highrise APIs. Some examples might be; Integrated Conference Calling within Highrise, Scheduled Calls, Click to Call Contacts in Highrise, Call-back Task links, just to name a few.

We will be posting more information about the contest in the next couple of weeks but that shouldn’t stop you from taking a look at the APIs right away. If you have any preliminary questions or comments please send them over: mashup@lypp.com or post them below.
