Using the After Effects SDK to Automate an After Effects Workflow using Volumax

Is it possinle to use the After Effects API and create a plugin that can be invoked from a Web application to do the following:

1. Pass a 2D image (photo) to After Effects

2. Open After Effects

3. Open the Volumax Template

4. Pulls the Photo into Volumax

5. Automatically Apply a Default Depth Mask to the Image

So this is to automate the first part of the workflow.  The rest of the workflow would be done manually.  Thanks in advance to anyone who has advice on how to accomplish this.  Once again, I would like to invoke or call this workflow from a web application.
