Hello, We currently have software that we use at my company to keep notes for technical support interactions with our customers. This is self-created using C#. We have been able to integrate this with our discourse software to the point when I do a search for something like a part number, it not only searches our database it also searched our Forum. What I am looking to do is create a button in our software that would allow me to create a new post in a specific category of our forum without actually leaving our software and going onto our forum. Basically, can I get this window to work in another application? I am sure there is something on here, however, I can’t find anything that seems to fit what I am looking to do. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/b/0/b0038cecca9041a82fa7050f6db6b175c83eccac.png) ---
