Is it possible to import a .pdf file directly into a group within a database, skipping the ‘inbox’ of the database via scripting?

I’d like to use Hazel to move certain files directly into the groups that I’ve set up in DevonThinkPro Office, rather than moving them all by hand in DT.

Thanks for any advice.  
Jeff

The subject was recently discussed in [this](https://discourse.devontechnologies.com/t/revisiting-hazel/13973/1) thread, which may help get you started.
