How to create a Lotus Notes calendar entry via external email w/ Lotus Script?

I'm working with an external web-based application that schedules training sessions.





We want to improve integration with the Lotus Notes running on


employee desktops.





What I'd like to do is, when we create an automated email


confirmation with class signup, create a script or have the actual email document create an appointment entry for the time of that class.





I do quite a bit of programming, but am pretty new to Lotus Notes.





First of all, is this feasible, and, if so, can someone point me to


the best place to step me through how to do it?





Would the email document itself be the appointment document? Would it be some sort of attachment that would do this, or do I need to create some kind of executable script that would run off of a button on the HTML email document?





Thanks for any help or advice.

How to create a Lotus Notes calendar entry via external email w/ Lotus Script?
Lotus Script is very similar to VBA.


What do you is you embed a button in the email


that will trigger the addition of the calendar entry


when clicked.





People in big organizations using lotus notes


receive emails with such buttons all the time.


The only thing you need to get you started is


somebody to send you such email, so you can


take a look at the code.





I leave you below a link to a place you can find a lot


of scripts.
