    Hello,

    I need to create a channel entry automatically from a template (the front end). Does anyone know of a method to do this? A plugin perhaps? Right now I’m stuck doing raw SQL queries to create the necessary rows in the DB, but this is cumbersome and doesn’t trigger MX Notify Control. Any ideas? I could create a safecracker form and have javascript automatically submit it, but I would rather not rely on JS for this functionality.

    Update: Looks like the Channel Entries API might work:
