Hi there, sorry this question was never answered properly.

This really depends on the external system that is receiving the original requests. Webform submissions have a full API, so if you were to expose this via a web service, it'd be reasonably easy to pull in external submissions into a Webform.

Unfortunately, I think this would require custom coding of some kind, which isn't in the scope of the Webform issue queue. Did you find a solution to this problem? There may not be much purpose in trying to answer this question considering it's age.

Hi
Yep, we finally solve that in a very simple way : we've put some by default stuff like %get[rft_atitle] in the fields of the webform that is opened by the incoming datas...
So the webform is automatically filled.

It works perfectly for months now.

It was in fact very simple, no coding, nothing at all :)
Another example that Webform is a great tool.
