AutoLISP to invoke AutoCAD Electrical Import/Export from Excel Feature

My end goal is to actually use a C# program to do the following (all behind the scenes and automated):

 

1) Open up a specific AutoCAD Electrical (2017) project

2) Call the "Import from Excel" feature in AutoCAD Electrical

3) Load a specific Excel file into the project

 

(** This is NOT the feature that imports Excel tables - this is a feature specific to AutoCAD Electrical that allows you to revise blocks in the drawing**)

 

From what I've read, Steps #2 and #3 only seem to be accomplished through AutoLISP.  I'm hoping to use my C# program to send AutoLISP functions to accomplish this.

 

If this is possible, does anyone know how to call AutoCAD Electrical's Import/Export Excel feature using AutoLISP?  (or even better - through C# API??)
