salesforce integration with external application


my requirement is when i click a button 'insert' from an external application then it should get saved as record in salesforce...
is this possible and how?
thanks in advance

Yes it is. You need to write webservices using REST or SOAP and then give the wsdl to the external system to call your webservices on click of a button.

You need not write any APIs for this. Salesforce provides native REST APIs. You can use those APIs to do any operations like INSERT, DELETE or UPDATE right into Salesforce. Since you are using a mobile app, the most suitable choice is to use REST APIs.

Here is a link which explains about REST APIs - https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_rest.meta/api_rest/intro_what_is_rest_api.htm

Take a stab at it and let me know if you are stuck or if you need more help.
