Integrating the web application with Salesforce and send frequent custom values into Salesforce

I am looking for more details on how I can integrate my web application with our clients Salesforce application and send some activity information into Salesforce. Do the client needs to setup all the relevant custom fields so that I can send values related to each records or can create custom fields on the fly using the REST API. Please advise.
