[Vtigercrm-developers] Lead Creation

[saify ks]

Hi [?]..

Im using the vTiger-5.0.1  for the first time so i facing some problems.

- In vTiger new leads are created by submitting the form.

I have made some configuration in vTiger for automatic scanning for the mail
to my personal Gmail-id.

My job is to create a lead in other way.
    1. My task to create a New Lead automatically in vTiger without
submitting the form.
    2. Who need to create a new lead has to send information(description) by
sending a mail to the my personal email id.
    3. I need to grab that description(Using existing php script or custom
script) from my personal email id and create a new lead in vtiger.
    4. Grab in the sense:

The body of email will have the following information as follows :

Salutation : Mr/Ms/Mrs..
FirstName : John Doe
LastName : Doe
Company : XYZ
Assigned To : Admin/Standard User
Project : PQR Implementation
Phone : 9881115585(validation)
Email : john.doe at example.com(
validation)
........

5. The send has to write mail as follows.
                     -  Email subject must be - Lead Create
                     -  Email body must contain information like
                                    ==> Salutation : Mr/Ms/Mrs..
                                    ==> First Name : John Doe
                                    ==> Last Name : Doe
                                    ==> Company : XYZ
                                    ==> Assigned To : Admin/Standard User
                                    ==> Project : PQR Implementation
                                    ==> Phone : 9881115585(validation)
                                    ==> Email :
john.doe at example.com(validation)
....

6.Grab only the values(Mr, John Doe, Doe, XYZ ....) form the email body and
have to create a new lead in the vTiger.
Means storing the values in Data Base.

One thing i have to share that if we use a custom script is used it must be
inside the vTiger only.

- I'm not getting how the flow for creating a new lead.
- How to call the custom function in vTiger and where I have to add the
custom function.

- I have try to make some changes in the existing function only.
- Whenever I made some changes in the existing code, a blank page is showing
when I refresh the page.
- If you have any solution for this, let me know.

As i'm inexperienced to make it work.
You can write - Any thoughts on this ?

Thanks in advance...
sks
