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

Question

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.

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.

Phytochromes. These chemicals shift form when sunlight strikes them. One form is produced by sunlight, and in the absence of light slowly reverts to the other form. Once a certain ratio is achieved between the forms (Phytochrome Red and Phytochrome Far Red) the flower blooms. It's a fascinating biological mechanism, like a clock, really. "I have a friend who’s an artist and he’s some times taken a view which I don’t agree with very well. He’ll hold up a flower and say, “look how beautiful it is,” and I’ll agree, I think. And he says, “you see, I as an artist can see how beautiful this is, but you as a scientist, oh, take this all apart and it becomes a dull thing.” And I think he’s kind of nutty. First of all, the beauty that he sees is available to other people and to me, too, I believe, although I might not be quite as refined aesthetically as he is. But I can appreciate the beauty of a flower. At the same time, I see much more about the flower that he sees. I could imagine the cells in there, the complicated actions inside which also have a beauty. I mean, it’s not just beauty at this dimension of one centimeter: there is also beauty at a smaller dimension, the inner structure…also the processes. The fact that the colors in the flower are evolved in order to attract insects to pollinate it is interesting — it means that insects can see the color. It adds a question — does this aesthetic sense also exist in the lower forms that are…why is it aesthetic, all kinds of interesting questions! A scientific knowledge only adds to the excitement and mystery and the awe of a flower. It only adds. I don’t understand how it subtracts." - Richard Feynman -
