Default Auto-creation of threads?

Hey guys, I'm working on a site where I will have certain admins enter in data into a form, which slaps the data into a couple of tables. What I'd like it to do is to create a new thread in a specific forum based upon certain pre-existing criteria. It will only create a new thread when new data is entered. It would be great if I could have it also create the sub-forums, but I can handle that myself for the time being.

In one of the tables will be a column for the forum ID that the new thread will be created in. I've been looking through the functions_newpost.php and newthread.php, but I'm not quite sure how to set it up so that it will create the thread for me. Yes, I do intend for it to create a first post with relevant info.

Uniquely formatting the first post of these auto-created threads will be my next venture. The problem I'm having is the actual vB stuff, how to get it to make a new thread, the integration stuff. If I'm right, I should just be able to pass values to the title and message variables into the newthread.php file, along with the value of f, which is the forumID, and it will do the rest, but I'm not quite sure.

So, has anyone else done something like this before? Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

BTW, I've taken a quick look at the talker bot code, and some of it points towards how new posts can be created, but not new threads. Hope that helps anyone else that's interested in a snippet like this.
