Adding content to a plugin via email

Hi everybody,

I’m currently working on my own plugin for my wordpress installation and I had a great idea on how to improve it, yet I’m not really sure if what I’m looking for is actually possible within the wordpress framework.

Basically what I’m trying to do is having my own archive of favorite links somewhere on my page. The plugin itself works and I can add new links and everything, but I don’t want to open up the page everytime I stumble across a link, log in and add it through the backend. I know it is possible to post new content by simply sending an email to a specific adress – it would be great to adopt that for my plugin. Just write an email with the link to a specific adress and it is automatically added to my plugin link list that is stored in the DB.

I just don’t really know where to look. Could anyone tell me if that is even possible and if it is what to look for in the doc?

Appreciate it!

MrMister
