Is there a function that I can call to create a group from within my plugin?

Hello,

I am creating a plugin that will link EasySocial and Joomla groups... Creating one will automatically create the other. Adding a person to one will automatically add the same user to the other.

I am doing this so I can use EasyDiscuss with EasySocial within groups.

We are currently stuck at the point where we are trying to create an EasySocial group when someone creates a Joomla Group. Can you please help us identify which function within EasySocial to call to create a group.

Thanks for the help.
Chris
