How about a transaction table where you store the information of the transaction inserted by the website.

On the insertion table you create a trigger for insert that puts a new record in the transactions table.

Then you only need your windows app to periodically check the transaction table, when it finds something do what ever you want and then clear the record on the transaction table.

It is not very elegant, but it may work. I am not familiar with EF and I don't know if it has a better solution for this.
